"Oh, that manor. I thought it was someone's home we would break into." The purple-skinned tiefling says with clear relief. "I've read about the Arcanum Indexus. Quite an extrordinary object, don't imagine it would be dangerous though, but I wonder why it would be kept in Dapplewing's manor?" He ponders aloud. "I'll see about a plan for the manor, we could possibly even make an inconspicuous day visit there to scout out the premacies before our daring heist." He says with a grin, almost suprised over how little it troubled him now to break university regulations. "Do you think you can get more out of the professor, like where in the manor we could expect to find the book and what kind of security measures, if any, we should expect at our manor visit?" He asks Mae and Larine.
Mae shrugged. "I really have no idea why the book is there, and honestly at this point I think the less I know the better." She gave a quick look at Larine before going on. "I don't really want to see the professor again if I don't have to, at least not until we have the book. I'm sure if there was something exceptionally dangerous he would have told me though. And he knows we aren't the most...magically adept yet, so I doubt he would send me on an errand I couldn't possibly complete. Right?"
"Well, if this mysterious professor is tutoring you, won't you see him soon again whether you want it or not?" Malvyn asks with a quizzical look. "And why do you suppose he expects you to help him. SImply because you are a student?"
Guardok listens as Mal and Mae discuss the Professor and the Manor, not really having much to contribute to either aspect of the discussion.
He clears his throat and interjects, "I am not sure why Mae has been asked, but I hope there were no threats involved? Also, I will confess that I have not that much experience in breaking and entering. What about the rest of you?".
"I mean, will we need any equipment? And how can we go about getting it without it looking suspicious? Or should we just blag our way in maybe?".
"I will do some research on the manor and what security it holds by night. When I know more about that we can discuss what equipmnet might be needed, but I'm not sure anything is needed really if we go about it the right way. One possibility could be to simply hide somewhere inside during the day while it is open and find the book once everybody has left." Malvyn suggests. "Did the professor say anything about any urgency or do we have the time we need for this?"
Mae began to get more and more apprehensive and worked up as the questions came in, until a few tears watered out of her eyes. "I don't know! I don't know!" She sniffled and wiped off her face a bit. "I'm sorry, that's just what he told me. I don't know when to go, or what's there, or why beyond getting the book. You don't have to help. I can do it myself if I need to. I'm sorry, I don't have all the answers!" She broke down and began to cry a bit.
The purple-skinned tiefling gives Guardok an awkward look as he scratches his neck. "Sorry...um...was trying to be helpful." He says, then going awkwardly silent for a while. "I can try to talk to this professor if that would make you feel better. I'll go and see what I can find out."He says after a while, leaving to find Mina Lee first, trying to recall if she could be found at the Firejolt cafe at this hour.
"It is a bit overwhelming, isn't it. Perhaps let's just take it one step at a time. We'll leave Mal do what he is best at and go from there. These dolls have me intrigued enough now without the book anyway", he says with a chuckle.
"And perhaps my gymnastics will come in useful, running up a bannister like it is a balance beam or something", he adds excitedly.
(OOC: Ready to move off this scene now, although not really got anything specific for Guardok to be doing)
Mae nodded a bit and took a few hard breaths. "Yes, okay, sorry. Let me know what you find out. I'd like to get it done as soon as we can though. Sorry." She turned to Larine and gestured toward her room.
(We can definitely move along as much as you wish!)
Malvynwould know that the Firejolt Cafe closes before now. (I'm saying it in the evening.) Mina might be at the Strixhaven Star, but it would be random chance. She isn't often there this late. Tomorrow after class she would definitely be at the cafe.
You would still be able to get to the Biblioplex for a couple more hours if you wanted to get a start on looking up information. (Choose one of the topics you would want to look into and roll an Investigation Check.
(OOC - If anyone else wants to try something or go to Help Malvyn they can.)

Larine approaches Mae, putting and arm around her shoulder. "Mae, I'm sure we'll figure it out. It shouldn't be too hard. Right?"
