Tectus snorted. "Ambitious? Maybe. I've had a little too much time to think about what I could be doing." She hadn't thought that as particularly ambitious, but she wouldn't disagree with the notion. Maybe she needed to be ambitious in times like these when things felt stagnant and wasteful.

Her head raise a little higher, ears perked with faint surprise. She had not expected...a promotion? Was that what this could be called? She was now answering directly to a Hand so she figured that yes, this was a sort of promotion. Something in her was a little sad that she was leaving her old Master behind, but...he had changed. Changed quite a bit since she last remembered him. She was ready for something new that would give her purpose again. "I am honored, Miss Aethril. I hope I will serve you well." Confidence laced her voice - she would serve Aethril well, it was a promise.

She wanted to comment on the "not an idiot" thing, but she stayed quiet as Aethril began her speech, only reacting with widened eyes at the mention of Lord Dhracia visiting often (oh...had she? That was alarming) and nods of her head in agreement. "Okay. I'll shift our focus, then, to this infestation. Draco is cleansed, and we have gotten part-ways through Eridanus. Gemini is still a problem as well. Other then that, I don't believe any other caves have been so badly affected."

Having Hounds would be useful. She only had one, and she had not seen them for some time. Hopefully the deer would turn up to her soon as well, his fire had been useful. And her own growing chrysalis...hopefully their designs would assist in this since their magic certainly wouldn't.

"Assistance from Chaos Forge would help, but I can speak to Master Vargas myself. Otherwise, any other assistance you could spare would be useful. The fungus reaches far and I only have so many to start with."
