This wasn't her typical type of work and, frankly, her typical crew. Riding along in the back of their supply wagon, Magdalena had spent the majority of the two-day trip to Baron Cvernn's estate with her nose in several books. The Baron wasn't very well known among Elbionese society given his penchant for isolation in the distant mountainside to the west. He'd sent a missive to the college asking for assistance with an excavation on his lands - he'd uncovered a crypt of dubious and questionable origins and inside were magical artefacts.
This wasn't her area of expertise, but something about the nature of the request struck her.
Ancient engravings on the walls.
Unknown language.
The artefacts she could leave to Esmond, but the language...
"Did you have to bring him along?" Esmond sat on the wagon across from her. They were words she knew he'd been holding his tongue with since their departure and he suddenly, inexplicably, couldn't hold them anymore.
Magi looked up from her studies and tracked Esmond's gaze back to the scruffy countenance of Mackenzie Erris who rode two horses back to keep watch on the party's rear.
"He's the only one who applied for the guard position," Magi sighed and turned the page, "after the expedition into the Kalit... good protection has been hard to find on our budget."
Esmond snorted derisively, "Just tell him to keep his knickers on this time."
