(His new ring will be immediately visible, the color swirling ominously - here, a shade of emerald green and there, inky black. It never settles; never stills. The silver too is cold - almost antiquated in design - and it wraps around a pale, slender finger that does not look wholly human.)

I wonder what spell was used to create such exquisite technology? (There is something pleasing about his voice - the way he pitches it perhaps. His tone invites others to listen.) I am uncomfortable showing my face, so you must settle for my voice, I'm afraid.

(He has taken certain precautions - raising his hood for one and tilting the feed so that only his chest can be seen.)

My world isn't terribly different from this one. We have great dragons, yet your turtle would dwarf them all!

(A shift in tone - this one hinting at amusement.)

I can only respect a power that was able to take me from my world and show me another. Yet I was...busy...you see. Terribly busy. What will become of my work?

I am more than happy to lend my aid - (Here, his voice hardens the slightest bit for a listener with keen ears.) However isn't it kinder to ask first?

(No one is comfortable when he smiles, let's be honest.)

Yet to pause time and leave our worlds will no ill effects is quite a feat. I would like to know how she managed it.

Wouldn't we all.

Unfortunately, none of us are likely to get answers on that front.

Death does complicate matters, however traces of her spell should remain.

The question is: where?

...Well, far be it from me to tell an expert his job... [He's assuming he's speaking with an expert, with the way Sir Spooks-a-Lot is talking about magic and spells.] But you might consider starting at something you know was affected by thte spell.

You know. You.

I mean, that's what I would do.

(He is at the top of the food chain where Magic is concerned in his world, so...yes. Expert.)

Are you suggesting I experiment on myself?

[He shrugs] It would be the way to control the greatest number of variables. You know what to expect from yourself. You never know what you're going to get if you use someone from a different universe.

There is a risk of it going horribly wrong. I cannot risk myself so. (Thus he must acquire someone else and delve deeply into their mind. He will know them.)

You're a true altruist, aren't you?
