"Blessed day," replies the guard solemnly before saying, "The apprentice will be easier to find than his master. He will be at weapons practice and I should be able to reach him."
The man then fetches a small coil of copper wire out of a small magical component's pouch at his side. "Who shall I say is asking after him?"

The guard steps away a short way into the temple and then Guilliame sees that he is whispering into the small coil of wire that is held in his hand.
[OOC: This confirms to Guilliame that the man is using a spell to communicate with someone inside the Temple (i.e., the Message cantrip.)]
A short time later, the man returns to Guilliame's side and announces, "Apprentice Basilly will be with you shortly Magus de Marchant."
He then gestures towards the entrance before adding, "There is a small meeting room just inside the gate. Would you like to wait in there? There is a pot of Caf available."

The guard shows Guilliame in through the entrance and into a small room whose only window is in the single door. The room is lit by a single flame mounted on the wall opposite the door. Above the flame on the wall is a black circular plaque mounted on a polished brass backing so that only a thin circle of the metal can be seen. It is the symbol of a total eclipse—the symbol of Donai—and, despite the flame licking the bottom of the plaque, there has been no blackening of the metal.
On one side of the room, there are four chairs around a table covered with a black cloth. On the other side of the room is a sideboard on which there are some pottery tumblers and a copper urn sitting on top of a lit oil burner; there is a strong smell of caf in the air.
"Apprentice Basilly will be here soon," says the guard before closing the door and leaving Guilliame alone in the room.
[OOC: Please make a Perception check for Guilliame.]

Guilliame helps himself to a small cup of the caf that is stewing away in the copper urn. It is industrial strength caf and Guilliame needs to add quite a bit of honey before he can drink the bitter brew.
Looking around the small room, it doesn't take long for Guilliame to realise that the torch under the symbol of Donai is of a magical nature, its flame cold and providing light but no heat.
He takes a seat at the table with his cup in hand just as the door is opened again by the door and Basilly walks into the room, a towel in hand which he is using to wipe sweat off his face.
"Guilliame!" he says. "What a surprise. What brings you here?"

"Hello Basilly. There are two things that I would like to ask about that I think Seeker Lomani or yourself might be able to help with. Firstly, you will recall we met when you approached me about your search for Dworkin. I am looking for one of my former companions, Alaric Brand, who came up in that conversation and I was wondering if you had had any success in your search?"
"The reason I ask is also somewhat touchy. There are some goings-on at the school and Alaric may be of assistance in sorting things out. Any information you can give me would be appreciated."
"Alaric Brand?" says Basilly, looking a little confused. "I remember you mentioning someone of that name when we asked you about Blackfeather... And the only person I know with that name is the son of a Sorendenese lord. Is that who you are talking about?"

Basilly seems a little surprised by Guilliame's question about Brand. "We made enquiries at his father's town house and were informed that he was in New Nineveh. Is this not true?"

"I heard an unconfirmed report that he was here but it must have been wrong. I'll check. I have another completely unrelated question. A stone has come into my possession that I have reason to believe is evil. I have promised to destroy it but I'm now worried about how to do that in a safe way. I was going to ask around the school but I want to make sure that someone there isn't interested in for the wrong reasons. I was wondering whether Seeker Lomani or yourself could advise me who I could talk to about ensuring it's safe destruction."
"Well I certainly cannot help you," he says with a laugh. "My training so far has not been in the more academic aspects of magick. But I could talk with Seeker Lomani? She might be able to help you... And if she cannot, Loremaster Unami is reckoned to be one of the most knowledgeable magi in the land."
"If you could check with Seeker Lomani I would appreciate that very much. In any case thanks for your help. By the way I heard talk of some disease going around. I haven't heard. What is that about?"
Basilly becomes serious and says, "I cannot say much about it because it is under investigation, but people started showing up at the Temple of Aieda with symptoms of high fever, diarrhoea and vomiting. Fortunately, the source of the disease was tracked pretty quickly to the Ward's cistern and they have started shipping in water from other districts until the cistern... and its supply, can be guaranteed safe."
Then he changes the subject and asks, "Are you able to bring the item you were talking about here? I am sure Seeker Lomani will at least be interested in taking a look at it for you."

"I will have to ask," Basilly says getting to his feet. "I can find out and come to your shop and let you know. But, if you will excuse me, I should get back to my training. I still have another candle to go before I am finished."
Basilly then walks over to the door and knocks on it.
Turning back to Guilliame, he says, "I am a little surprised about your not wanting to approach someone in the School of Occult Studies about this. Care to go into details as to why?"

The friendly smile leaves Basilly's face as he continues to wipe the sweat from his neck in silence for a moment.
Then he takes a seat at the table opposite Guilliame and says, "That is a touchy subject. Why do you ask?"
