Adia's suggestion sends Viatorus spinning as he looks around the room. "He might have one here, but ice magic isn't the easiest..."

"It comes very naturally to some of the mages at home," Runa says, a little surprise in her voice.

Viatorus smiles sheepishly at her. "That doesn't mean it isn't difficult magic..."

That vaguely complimentary response seems to sit well with her as she returns to beaming brightly and inspecting the room.

"I think they were looking to isolate some part of this plant," Viatorus says, returning to Adia's question.

This catches Runa's attention again and she appears next to Viatorus where velvety leaves sit in a small bundle with some tools. "Daggkåpa." Viatorus blinks at her and she laughs gently. "Lady's Mantle."

This name Viatorus recognises, and he gives an understanding 'ah' as he nods. "Well, they were working with Lady's Mantle and some of my father's research. I'm not sure what exactly they're doing, though. They're looking for something from the plant. I... haven't really done research like this. It's difficult for me to say any more than that."
