Mara Draven: Taps foot Finally, you're heeere!!! This washbasin, it speaks to me! Tell me, what do you knooow?!
I pick up the washbasin. You know I made this for you. I always had a crush on you.
Mara Draven rolls her eyes, but blushes slightly at your confession.
Yesss, I know you made it. It's quite... functional. But that's not what I'm talking about! There is something more, something hidden in this magical washbasin!
He takes out a small box opening it revealing a necklace that looks like a human heart This is what I know
Eyes widen with intrigue A heart-shaped necklace...! Where did you get that?
hands you a scroll I found this hidden inside. It mentions the washbasin and a ritual...
Eyes widen as she snatches the scroll A ritual?! Now we're getting somewhere! Read it aloud!!
Blossom hands her a scroll this came for you today by owl post…
Mara takes the scroll, eyes lighting up By owl? How exciting! Let's see what it says.
She carefully unrolls the scroll and begins to read aloud, her curiosity piqued.
Mara? What are you doing here? And how did you find this place? I ask in a whisper as I lead her into my cabin.
She follows you into the cabin, her eyes darting around
Shhh! Keep it down. I used a locator spell to find this place, obviously.
She looks at you expectantly
Well? You never answered my question about the washbasin!!
I am an elf maiden that is very beautiful I have long, golden hair and blue eyes and a lithe figure What are you talking about?
Mara Draven looks at you with a hint of annoyance in her eyes. She rolls them slightly and crosses her arms, clearly frustrated by your presence.
Are you serious? I'm talking about this damn washbasin! It's supposed to hold clues about my uncle's death, but it hasn't given me any answers yet!
the old man looks at Mara with confusion on his face What do you mean? I just sold you this old thing.
She scoffs Old thing?! This washbasin is no ordinary artifact! It holds the secrets of my uncle's death, I can feel it!!! Tell me everything you know about this basin!
well I made it for you as a gift because I knew you were going through a rough time with your uncles passing
Stares at the washbasin and then back at you You made this...for me? It's quite intricate, I must admit. But what does it have to do with my uncle?!
you never asked about my transformation did you?
Raises eyebrow Transformation? You changed something about yourself? How curious...
I made that for you as a gift remember
scoffs Yes, yes, a gift. But is it juuust a gift? Or does it hold some deeper meaannning?
Takes the washbasin in her hands and examines it closely
I can feel its magic. It's calling to me...
blushes slightly I'm here now... You summoned me, so I came... What about this washbasin?
Taps foot impatiently Yes, I did summon you! And it's about this washbasin!
Points at the washbasin
I can feel it... There's something here that could lead me to my uncle's killer!!!
she sees that I am a girl instead of a boy now
stares at you for a moment, dumbfounded
You look... different. And not just because of the girl clothes! You look like... a girl.
I would hand her my report for work that day as I took off my cloak
Mara takes the report, skimming through it with an impatient huff. Her eyes dart across the pages, barely comprehending the mundane words.
What is thisss? Why do I need to read about your boring workday?
well I know that this isn’t my basin
She raises an eyebrow, crossing her arms. Oh really? And who does it belong to then??
looks at her curious what's up? why are you so worked up?
Waves the washbasin at you
This artifact! I feel a strange energy coming from it... It's related to my uncle's death, I'm sure of it!
sighs in frustration
And on top of that, my familiar hasn't been able to track down the thief who stole my Ruby Slippers!
