"I only wish we will be able to keep that access, no matter what happens in the future."
Escaping to Nocwich, with it's eternal night, is something Kell has considered. How possible would that be given the very place they do get to visit here was specifically established for that purpose. How open will that be if the hostility rises beyond what has already happened is an open question.
"Oh. Was it useful?"
He was certain that Jayce will pick up enchantment from a book with ease. It's one of the branches of Thornean magic that lends itself best to their academic approach. There's little need for in person supervision. Alchemy is as much art as it's strictly academic discipline. It's more work and practice to produce uniformly reproducible results. Something Kell struggles with still.
The question though catches him off guard. Victor is not the first asking this. When Jayce did, Kell had no idea what to say. Now, he actually does and it's something enchantment might be useful for.
"I... might. But it's a bigger project ... and it's kind of personal. I'm not sure if it's even possible here, but if anyone were to be able to do it, it would be you two." Kell pauses thinking how best to describe his signature coat. "Back home, I had a coat. I'm sure it was magical, but not really how it worked. It had many sides. I could turn it out, and it was dark and ragged, then turn it out again and it was all in my family colors. It had sides I wasn't aware of until very late. I doubt it's possible to fully replicate it, but anything that's able to transform into a different disguise will be helpful."
Kell looks back at Victor realizing he just described what is most likely a project for months of research. Maybe interesting, but probably too much to ask. He just brought Jayce two books. It feels wrong to ask for so much.
"Please tell me if it's too much work. It's just something I was thinking about a lately."
