"You are welcomed into my sanctum, sodalis," Tranquillina says officially, before directing the servant (and witness) present to clean up the remnants of lunch. "Don't mind the spell circle," she points as they step over the threshold, "it's just a Ward Against the Curious Scullion." The two walk the few paces down a short hall, passing doors to Tranquillina's bedroom and writing nook on the right, and traverse the door at the end to enter the laboratory. Tranquillia ushers Tria in, smiling broadly: in the back of her mind is the awareness that Tria doesn't really care about the lab, but she still feels the urge to show off some of her accomplishment to a former mentor.
"Well, if you were not already sure about my passion for Corpus, this should confirm it," she grins. Indeed, the quarter of the laboratory directly in front of the door seems entirely devoted (other than a small astrolabe stationed with a table and chair by the window on the left) to the human Form. Most prominently, a workspace has been cleared around what first appears to be a statue of a human, standing upon a well-carved wooden pedestal that shows indications of having been enchanted. On closer inspection, however, the statue is revealed to be an actual human corpse, propped by wooden struts in an upright posture; the corpse is extremely well preserved despite its exposure to the air, other than several blemishes that look like deliberate dissections. "And the setting of Mons Electi would suggest an advantageous pairing with the Technique of Rego. Subject-wise, I do share my pater's interest in wellness and illness - in troth, my interest is personal as well." She frowns at a bruise on her forearm. "I have little grounding in mundane medicine at the moment, but might nevertheless be interested to pursue some magical research along those lines."
The section of the lab surrounding the corpse statue contains a well-positioned tool bench, dissection surface, and nearby wax tablet for recording observations, as well as a standing mirror that doubles as a screen in front of some unrelated lab equipment. Against the far wall there is also a pallet (with, one might notice, leather straps for binding a person thereto) and, oddly, an earthen plot built into the floor with indeterminate contents, complete with nearby shovel and pail. "I have kept up a correspondence with Ra'am on the Founder's theory, ever since we met after his flying accident - perhaps still the best first impression I have ever made on another," Tranquillina chuckles (although she still winces inwardly at the second or third impression, where she was caught drunk with Ulrich). "His knowledge is quite extensive and illuminating. And yes, Aurulentus has done some extremely advanced research into fertility, which is at least tangential to my own interests in health. Although his application to Longevity Rituals, and that of Korvin for that matter, do not form as engaging a subject to me."
