"Yes, yes, I remember now," says Clusius. "Lady Celeste, you asked for an elevated location in a dedicated building. One of the problems we had was that Regulus," he nods toward the one-armed Quaesitor, "has already claimed the top floors of the highest habitable tower. This left us just another one tower which was both high enough and sufficiently large for a sanctum. It is a bit drafty, I'm afraid. As for the mirror, I have sent inquiries through the redcaps to see how we could purchase a large one. We can visit the tower after this meeting. Julius assembled the tools and materials for it, but unfortunately we lacked the time to completely set it up."
"Lady Alba, what did you have in mind for your laboratory? You were quite vague in your letter, which I admit makes me curious. As you mentioned you preferred to create your own, there wasn't much we could do except assemble the basic supplies and equipment. We had much to do and very few people to do it, so things got delyaed for your lab. We have a space cleared out that could be used, but I have no idea if you will find it suitable."
