Nine's eyebrows raised higher and higher as Corvus explained who Kargth was, as well as his unique... situation. She had never heard of anything like this. She knew of magic and how it worked, as well as the supernatural element of it, but she was never really shown the possibilities of it to this extent. Her imagination never had the chance to think of a being such as Kargth, and this was because she never even knew such a thing was possible, but as she thought more and more about it, such a thing did seem possible; After all, magic was about bending the rules of nature. What other things could be accomplished through the use of magic? Nine felt a bit worried about meeting Kargth now. "Not human?" she echoed, a chill running down her spine. Her mind raced, what if he didn't like what she had to say? Kargth was probably looking for information, of which she didn't have much to offer. He was probably expecting her to tell him about her captors... but she didn't know much about them. She didn't even know where The Garden even was exactly from here, one second she grabbed that metal orb and the next she was in that strange forest. Corvus tilted his head at the girl, seeing the fear and apphrension play across her young face. “Just because he isn’t human, doesn’t mean he doesn’t care.” He said, trying to comfort her. “He’s more human then many people I have had the misfortune to know. You have nothing to fear. Now come, lets get you out of those clothes.” He directed her out of the small storage room and back into the tunnels. “This place is quite easy to navigate once you understand the layout.” Corvus said as they were coming close to the requisition office. “Think of it as a tower. From what I understand its layout is very similar to one, just underground. We haven’t had the manpower to explore the lower levels, but it seems to increase in size the deeper you go. Most of the rooms were empty, so they were repurposed as we went. It’s a bit strange actually, its built as if it was a tower first, and then placed underground.” “Here we are.” Corvus said as he reached a large archway with two guards outside directing and watching the flow of traffic enter and leaving. As they entered the gentle flow of people entering they were met with a scene of controlled chaos. The room itself seemed to have been some sort of function room originally. With a high ceiling and large space. The floor was an ornate combination of smoothed granite and stones, laid out in strange circles and spiral patterns. Now it served as a centre of storage. What was immediately seen were great shelves that had been placed in neat rows along the back walls, forming a maze of corridors. Each shelf three meters high and packed with crates and barrels. In front of these storage shelves where several independent counters and benches, each with separate queues. As a person reached the counter, handing over either papers, money or items the clerk would write down their name, time and item requested and send a small child into the maze. Who after ten or so minutes would reappear with either clothing, rope, utensils, maps or even great backpacks full of camping equipment. “This may take a while to get to the front.” Corvus said, observing the length of the queues. “Now is the perfect time to discuss what you’ll say to Kargth when he arrives. Make a good impression and all that.” He inspected the several lines and directed her towards the shortest one. “Now, tell me everything in as much detail as possible and that you’re comfortable with telling. Especially on how you came to be here.

Nine looked at everything around her with a new found curiosity. She hadn't realized they were underground, but that would explain the lack of natural lighting. She tried to remember the layout as she walked along behind Corvus through the halls, her previous worries about Kargth being somewhat forgotten for now after Corvus' reassurances. She began to notice a few things that gave away the tower-like layout of the underground fort as she walked the halls, so she knew Corvus wasn't lying either.
As they entered the requisition office, Nine stuck close to Corvus as they walked through the hustle and bustle, until they found themselves at the back of one of the lines. The room was larger than she thought it would be, perhaps they had gone down a bit in the tower.
"I used that metal ball to get here... I don't know where it is now. The guards were trying to stop me, one of them shot a crossbow at me to try to stop me, the bolt must have hit me before I touched it, but as soon as I did there was a bright flash of light, and I was in the forest... The metal ball was magical in some way, it transported me here," she explained, pausing for a moment before adding, "What else would he want to know?"

Corvus smacked his head. “Of course, the ball!” He reached into his coat and rummaged around in his several pouches, while also keeping an eye on the movement of the queue, before pulling out the small orb. “I grabbed it while you were bring brought in. Almost forgot about it.” He inspected the ball more closely now, holding it up to the dull torch light. “Its obviously some sort of teleporter device from what you’ve told me, but the type of magic is… unfamiliar to me.” He handed the orb back to Nine. “I deal in more…” He bent down closer to her. “Older magics.” The Corvus and Nine continued to move closer to the front of the queue. “As far as other questions. You haven’t told me where you’re actually from, or who you were with. The last thing Kargth wants is to make enemies with another faction without knowing it. We’ve got our hands full as it is.”

Nine took back the metal orb, turning it over in her hands now as she didn't get much of a chance to get a close look at it until now. It didn't seem to activate now that she touched it like it did before, she remembered the device even burned her palm slightly when it teleported, as the stinging pain in her palm reminded her as she turned it over.
She was unsure of how to answer Corvus' further questions, however.
"I don't know very much besides what I've told you already. I never was allowed outside of The Garden. It was small, there was only one section that was even outside, and it was walled off on all sides... the rest was just hallways, the mess hall, the dorms... all closed off. The people who ran The Garden showed up every now and then, and they were able to use magic too."
They were probably going to try and bring her back to The Garden as well, which would mean that they would become another enemy for Fort Silence if Nine were to stay here... she worried she would be kicked out because of this based on Corvus' words so she did not mention that fact now... if she were kicked out to fend for herself, she knew she stood no chance of staying free.
