A rather modest space set within The Conjunction in the Citadel. When one walks in through the heavy oaken door and into the office, they will be faced with a square room, roughly 15x15 feet in size. The Minister of Magic's desk would be directly opposite of the door on the other side of the room, it was made of a dark hardwood. The rest of the room also seems to be decorated with this dark wood, from the flooring to the walls and the bookshelves that covered the back wall behind the desk. There were two comfortable looking armchairs that stood in front of the desk, and to the side against each wall were some couches. There were no windows, as this office was in the interior of The Citadel, though it was well lit by a magical lantern that floated in the air above, casting a soft orange glow to simulate a natural flame.

Grandma walked towards the doors of the new Minister of Magic’s office at her usual pace, moving forward slowly but with a clear purpose. Her cane made an echoing click that grew louder and louder as she moved towards her destination. Pausing at the doors to the office, Grandma adjusted her deep red robes slightly, the long sleeves obscuring her wizened hands. A passerby might still be able to notice the unnatural flickers of light that the rings adorning her hand produced if they paid close enough attention.
She didn’t have an appointment with the new Minister, Daedalus was his name if her sources were correct. Fortunately, Grandma didn’t need one. It was now in her official duties to check in on the various Ministers and other high-ranking officials, although she had been doing such things unofficially long before this. Raising her cane in one hand, Grandma knocked upon the door three times with it.

Luckily, Daefalus was in his office at the moment so Grandma would be able to see him despite not having an appointment. Upon hearing the knock he would open the door from across the room, using telekinesis to do so. He was the Minister of Magic after all. He seemed to have been quite busy but he paused for a moment to look over his visitor.
"Ah hello there, I do believe I didn't have any appointments for this time? Either way, what is it that you need?" he aksed, rising from the chair behind his desk to greet Grandma. He did know who she was, and he figured she was here to check up on him as he was just recently appointed.

Grandma entered the room, giving it a brief glancing over before turning her attention to Daedalus. She wore a small smile, her eyes studying Daedalus as he spoke to her. Perhaps he was wondering why she had shown up in such a sudden fashion, although he might not even know who she was.
“You are quite correct, I didn’t set up an appointment for this meeting. I prefer to keep people on their toes. After all, I wouldn’t want them to go out of their normal routine for me.”
Walking further into the room, Grandma placed both hands on the back of the armchair in front of Daedalus’ desk. She leaned in slightly, considering the man who stood before her. He was younger than she had expected, perhaps he was a prodigy when it came to magic? There was also the chance he simply used magic to appear young, it wouldn’t surprise Grandma if that was the case.
“Perhaps you know this, but I shall introduce myself nonetheless. I am the Imperial Vizier although I prefer to simply be called Grandma, a rather strange name I know, I’ve simply become accustomed to it. I’m here to speak to you about various subjects, primarily regarding your duties as Minister of Magic. It’s important that all the Ministers of Isra are feeling comfortable and receiving the support they need after all.”

"Ah, nice to meet you then, Grandma. I am Daedalus, it is quite the honor to meet the Imperial Vizier," he would walk around his desk and offer Grandma a handshake, before sweeping his hand back towards the chairs in front of the desk, "Please, take a seat so we can speak further," he said, before walking back behind his desk and sitting.
"So what duties did you want to speak about exactly? I have been familiarizing myself with all that I am expected to do these past few days."

Grandma took the man’s hand in a surprisingly firm grip as he offered a handshake. Offering a murmur of thanks as he offered her a seat, Grandma made herself comfortable in the seat, leaning back as she waited for Daedalus to take a seat himself.
“I’m curious as to what your plans regarding magic research and advancement are. The Enclave hasn’t received any strong directions for a while due to the lack of a Minister of Magic. Now that you’re filling the position, however, I look forward to that changing. Aside from it being a matter of utmost importance to the Isran Empire, I’m also quite interested in such advancements on a personal level.”
Grandma wore an expectant expression as she waited for Daedalus to respond. She considered the direction of magical research that Daedalus intended to take a very important matter, potentially even the most important thing she would ask him about.

"Well magical research and advancement will definitely be a priority for The Enclave under my direction, and the type of research will have to do with what is most needed by Isra and what would be most beneficial to study," he said. He really actually didn't have very many solid ideas as of yet, as he had just become the Minister of Magic, though he did have some ideas.
"I would be sure to inform you of such advancements as we come upon them, if you'd like," he added.

“Ah, I see. Understandable I suppose as you did just fill the post a few days ago. But yes, I would be very interested in being kept up to date on what you plan to use the Enclave’s manpower on. I might even have some research suggestions in the future, but those will wait until you’ve gotten a bit more comfortable with your duties.”
Pausing for a moment, Grandma stared absentmindedly towards the purple gem that capped her cane. The gem seemed to cause light that traveled near it to dim slightly, although this effect wasn’t quite as noticeable in this room where a magic lantern was the sole source of light.
“How would you feel about setting up relations with other countries that have their own Enclave like equivalent? I’ve personally done what I can to acquire foreign books on magic that the Isran library doesn’t yet have in its collection, but there’s only so much one person can do. Although some countries like Sakand closely guard the secrets of their magic, I believe many countries would be more open to an exchange of information.”

"Hmm, yes that would be a good idea, to consolidate knowledge. I will probably have to go through the Minister of Foreign Affairs for such an arrangement with foreign nations, however," he said. He made a mental note to do that at some point.
"Anything else you'd like to talk about?" he asked.

Grandma nodded, apparently satisfied by Daedalus response. She would check up to make sure he got around to doing such trades in information, but he seemed to genuinely think the suggestion was a good one. Waving her hand, a tray with a bottle of wine and two glasses appeared hovering before her. Taking one for herself, she would offer Daedalus one before speaking.
“If you need any help getting the Minister of Foreign Affairs agree to such a proposition, let me know. I suspect he’ll be happy to help set up such an agreement, but the offer stands regardless. Although this question doesn’t have to do with your new position, I’ll still ask it. What type of magic is your specialty? I’m sure you have a wide variety of styles at your disposal, but most mages have a certain type of magic they’re better at than others.”

"Daedalus grew a bit thoughtful upon hearing Grandma’s next inquiry, even going on to make a bit of a show to stroke his chin in thought, “In truth that is somewhat of a more complex question for me, though I think I can give an adequate enough answer,” he said.
“Most mages pick up their ‘specialization’ of sorts early on in their development. They latch onto a particular school of magic that suits them or is the easiest for them and they stick to it before branching off. Magic is hard to learn in the first place, so most mages are like this, with somewhat lopsided distributions of magical talent. I’ve tried to avoid this, as I have a rather easier time learning various schools of magic than most people, though there is one particular area of study I’ve found to be quite useful across the entire spectrum of magic, and a key skill for any mage.”
Daedalus paused for a moment, realizing he rambled on a bit, “Anyways, that area of study would be runescribing. It is very useful in that it can be used to control or utilize almost any magical effect of other schools of magic, but with more control. So much control in fact that even one with no talent in said school could activate a spell through the use of runes. Also, it is widely used by most scholars in their works on the study of magic as it is a much more efficient way of describing most magical studies than any common written language."

“As Minister of Magic it doesn’t surprise me you can use a variety of styles, but the way you’ve gone about and learned them is rather intriguing. Focusing on Runescribing to enable a wide variety of spells is also a quite sensible thing to do, I know first hand just have useful Runescribing can be. Would you say at this point you could learn just about any type of magic if given enough time and the resources required? Even say, some schools of magic that are considered ‘taboo’ by some?”
His answer to her last question would be rather important for her future dealings with the Minister. If he did believe that he could learn just about any magic thrown at him, that would be extremely useful. Of course, that potential would be limited by whether Daedalus had strong principles or not, something she hadn’t yet pried into.
“Also, I believe you met the Chancellor when you were applying for this position. What exactly was your impression of him?”

"I can learn almost any type of magic, given the proper resources. As for the more taboo types of magic... well that is quite the dangerous question to ask now is it?" he said, regarding Grandma for a few quiet moments, "Most of the magic types considered Taboo are given such a label for a reason, though If I were to be quite honest I would consider learning some of them if doing so would be beneficial to me, The Enclave, or Isra as a whole. I wouldn't let some things such as social stigma or other similar emotional responses get in the way of progress after all, as long as the cost of such things seems proportionate enough in comparison to the payoff."
Daedalus shrugged, leaning back in the high back leather chair behind his desk then, "My impression of Ryden wasn't very good, to be honest. He seemed to be a bit difficult to communicate with, mostly due to a lack of ability in describing exactly what it was he wanted from me, particularly from a magical demonstration. A demonstration I had already done in front of an Enclave representative, mind you. It all seemed rather unnecessary, really."

“In other countries, it might be dangerous to ask, but fortunately Isra isn’t quite as… Traditional as other countries. The discussion of taboo magic is fine, the use of them on the other hand, not quite so much. We must always be keeping our minds open so we can gain advancements, this is my opinion on a wide variety of subjects, not something exclusive to magic. I’m glad you have a sensible outlook in that regard. Some of the older mages can get a bit hung up in their traditions, but it seems that’s one less to thing to be concerned with in regards to you.”
Grandma nodded slowly as Daedalus told her his opinion of Ryden, she clearly wasn’t surprised by it. Such sentiments weren’t that uncommon, although Ryden himself was quite capable at his position, perhaps even a little too capable for Grandma’s taste.
“You aren’t alone in not being particularly fond of the Chancellor and I thank you for being frank with me on your opinion of him. He might not be the easiest person to communicate with at times, but he is quite adept at his job, so I hope your future meetings with him will be a bit smoother. I think this about does it for the questions I had, I shall be taking my leave now and letting you get back to your duties.”
Unless Daedalus had any other questions or comments for her, Grandma would rise from her seat, offering him a brief wave before exiting his office.

It’s wearing on into the early stages of the evening as Lady Naoki enters The Conjunction. She comes seemingly unaccompanied, wearing at least one of her red coats. She moves, though not especially quickly- decisively, with great purpose. She’s looking for Daedalus with the intention of having a word with him. The Conjunction, she figures, is a good place to begin her search. Presently, she locates the door to his office. She spends a moment to read the lettering confirming it is indeed his office, and another to gather her thoughts before raising one hand to rap three times on the door. knock-knockknock |

For a time, Naoki waits. She isn’t so hypocritical as to demand his attention immediately. Her visitors often have to wait as well, especially if they come while she’s blowing off steam, as it were. Perhaps Daedalus is doing the same. After two minutes, she knocks again. No response. After another three, she knocks a bit more loudly. No response. For a moment, Naoki considers having a go at kicking the door down. Not to kick it down, but to give it a good kick to set off whatever alarm mechanisms Daedalus might have in place. After a moment of consideration, she decides against it, as those mechanisms might very well be dangerous to the potential trespasser, and she hasn’t got all day to be treated back to health. However, she also doesn’t have all day to sit around this door. Turning her back on Daedalus ‘s office, Naoki returns to The Conjunction at large in search of someone else. |

It had been quite a while since Grandma had last visited the Minister of Magic. Although she had subordinates to keep an eye on things for her, certain meetings simply had to be done personally and that proved a most time-consuming task. Such was the reason it had taken her so long to get back around on checking up with Minister Daedalus. Personally, she found him to be one of the more enjoyable people in Naoki’s employ to speak with, although given his position this was unsurprising to anyone aware of Grandma’s interest.
Strolling towards the heavy oaken doors of the office at a leisurely pace, Grandma knocked on the door a few times with her cane. Letting out a slight sigh, the old woman leaned forward on her cane as she awaited a response. As she waited, she studied her surroundings, noting they appeared identical to her last visit. Idly she considered if the interior of the Minister’s office would remain identical as well or if there would be a new smattering of magical instruments adorning it.

Daedalus would be in his office this time, and as Grandma knocked the door would swing open, letting her inside. The interior of the office seemed very similar to how it appeared the first time Grandma entered it, though there were a few minor changes. The most noticeable of which was a new door, behind the Minister of Magic's desk making a small break in the otherwise expansive bookshelves that covered that wall. The door was unmarked and seemed otherwise unimportant.
"Grandma, it has been some time I have talked to you, welcome," Daedalus said, looking up from whatever book he was studying. His eyes had a brighter golden glow than normal as Grandma walked in, though the intensity faded as he looked at her. It was most likely due to some sort of scrying he had been doing.
"What can I do for you?"

An elderly and frail looking woman with white wispy hair. However, despite being old, her back is not bent by age nor are her eyes clouded by it.

She wears a deep purple robe that has sleeves that extend far beyond her hands. Her hands are covered with fine gloves of black silk and she wears one ring on each, one having a purple stone set in it and the other a piece of onyx. Carrying an ornate cane of orellium, Grandma can use it to increase her magical channeling as well as assist in deflecting others spells with it. The cane itself is black and covered in numerous ornate, but tiny runes. The cap on the cane is a purplish colored gem. On her wrist is a silver bracelet with a ruby in it that Grandma uses for telepathic communication with others in its network.

As usual, the clicking of Grandma’s cane accompanied her as she entered the Minister’s office. Pulling out one of the leather chairs, she smoothed out her robes before taking a seat, offering Daedalus a nod of greeting.
“It has been too long since we last met, Daedalus. Sadly my duties keep me quite busy and I find myself unable to pay as much attention to the Enclave as yourself as you deserve. However, today I’ve come to hopefully remedy that.”
Pausing for a moment, Grandma’s gaze passes over the newly added door embedded into the bookshelf behind Daedalus. Perhaps the Minister had decided his office was a bit too small and taken the liberty of expanding it a bit?
“I’m here for a few reasons, but I shall start by requesting a general report on both your own and the Enclave’s activities since my last visit. Discoveries, inventions, current research, anything in those categories that you personally find noteworthy are what interest me.”

"Well most of the work the Enclave has been doing has been pretty behind the scenes, as you may have noticed," Daedalus began, pondering for a few moments his next words.
"We have focused mostly on expanding our scrying capabilities, mostly for general surveillance. When I became the Minister of Magic we were quite capable of scrying within Isran lands already, but I want to expand that further, carefully of course. Powerful magical artifacts of various sorts will expedite this process very much, so I personally have turned my attention to figuring out where we might find ourselves some more of those, and I have an interesting possibility..."
Daedalus took his quill and wrote something down on parchment then, the runic letters glowing golden with mana as they lifted off the page, forming a circle in the air which projected an image within it.
In the image Grandma would be able to see rolling plains of black grass, under magical storm clouds that seemed to brew eternally over them, casting down a blue light, "The Shadowlands, these lands are some of the most, let's say magically corrupt, lands in the Overworld. My research indicates there was once a civilization capable of immense magic within, but of course, they don't exist anymore, probably destroyed with the cataclysm... Either way, this place has great potential to be an unprecedented source of magical artifacts, some of which are bound to be quite potent. The only problem is it is very dangerous, and quite far. Maps put it far southeast of Isra, even farther east than Aozora."
Daedalus shrugged, letting the image dissipate, "I was just now considering who I would send to such a place to investigate, actually. I have too many more important matters to deal with here..."
