"Sir?" Phillip Terrance asked, struggling to keep pace with the long-legged elven man in front of him. Their footsteps echoed off the walls as they strode down the long and strangely empty hallway.
"Yes, Mr. Terrence?" Randus Duthane answered without looking at Phillip.
"We…We were in an anti-magical field, correct?"
The elf nodded. "Indeed you were, Mr. Terrence," He stopped walking and looked at Phillip. They were now standing in front of a large, wooden door. "Why do you ask?"
"Well, it's just that…" Phillip took a deep breath, he was still slightly rattled. "It's just that when we were in there, Adeline's tattoos... They glowed. Those tattoos feed off your own magical energy field, right? The anti-magic field is built to suppress those energies, isn't it? Why were her tattoos glowing?" He was almost frantic at this point, body shaking and sweating in his palms.
"Ah, yes, that." For a moment, Phillip thought he saw a flicker of emotion in the Guild Master's stony mask. Just a flash of sadness, but it was gone so fast that Phillip couldn't tell if it was real or just part of his imagination. "You see, our magical 'auras', if you will, is never constant," Randus explained. "When you experience a strong emotion, you give off more magical energy. That excess energy makes your aura expand or pulse." He drew out a large silver key from his pocket and placed it in the key hole. "Yes, you are correct. The Guild's markings do indeed feed off your aura. Thus, when you are angry, for example, your guild mark glows brighter." He turned the key, and upon hearing a soft "click" pulled it back out. Randus turned to face Phillip, who duly noted that the Guild Master's eyes were the same as his daughters. "But that's only one factor. Our anti-magic fields can only suppress so much magical energy and my daughter…" He trailed off, eyes focusing somewhere off in the distance behind Phillip.
"Well, let's just say that Adeline has more magic in her then is good for her." He smiled with just a hint of pride and looked back at Phillip.
"Yes, Mr. Terrence?" Randus Duthane answered without looking at Phillip.
"We…We were in an anti-magical field, correct?"
The elf nodded. "Indeed you were, Mr. Terrence," He stopped walking and looked at Phillip. They were now standing in front of a large, wooden door. "Why do you ask?"

Phillip and Randus take a walk down the hallway.
