[i]I HEARD THAT. ...Anyways. Elsimore did a finger gesture and a triple layered wizards robe and a flat, box like hat with an ostrich's feather attached to it was summoned with a literal *poof!* He then casted another spell that seemingly slowed its descent with another gesture. Surely he was a master at Conjuring and Transmutation to say the least.[/i] "Those robes are suitable! They're tripled layered because the tower can get rather cold!"

"...I see." [i]Gideon merely nodded as he studied the robes, before shrugging and allowing himself to be engulfed by the quite thicc robes, even placing the flat hat upon his bald head as he approached the door and knocked upon it's wooden (or metal, whatever) surface.[/i] [i]In truth, Gideon found some amusement with the wizard. But.. he had brought "items", that may persuade him to become a potential ally. Even a friend.[/i]

[i]The wooden door had swung open, revealing the 1st floor out of 7. It was a casual room, with wizardy furniture around it. Multiple fur pelts were hung up on the wall along with a bear skin carpet, rather tacky really. To the left was an enchanted fireplace, constantly aflame without needing Elsimore's attention. To the right was a spiral staircase that had circled the wall, leading up to the second floor. Then a barely audible chittering was heard...as if it was some sort of insectoid below Gideon. Gods only know what the wizard kept in the cellar. The old fossil of the wizard descended the staircase and into the den, wearing the stereotypical getup. He adjusted his spectacles and looked at the Mage.[/i] "You look far more better now. Now tell me, why duel out in this forest? I mean the tower should've been obvious that somebody lived here! Nonetheless a rather...annoyed wizard. I ought to make your life hell with petty spells like Arberun would, but I'm willing to forgive, as long as you keep that racket down. I'm trying to study the magical properties of spider silk. Speaking of which, I must attend to it before I blow up the tower again. You may observe if you want, I don't care." [i]Thus the wizard rushed up the staircase with surprising speed for an old man to check on his experiment.[/i]

"The Dojo is currently a.. particularly lackluster place to decide dueling, if I must be honest. The members are a true mess, it has been targeted and ruined countless times, and most members think of "duels" as "gunfights". It isn't a suitable local. As for Annabelle's location.. it tends to be quieter, though our dueling appeared to be.. bothersome. My sincerest apologies, but I do believe that I have items which would assist in.. concentration." [i]Gideon motioned to the bag slung upon his shoulder. Whatever happened to be inside.. seemed nice.[/i]

"Oh please, I already have stuff that helps in my studies, both in magical and bodily effects!" [i]The wizard had replied, thankfully the tower hadn't blown up. But he did make a major discovery.[/i] "Yes! I did it! Spider silk does conduct magic well! Take that Wizards Council!" [i]He exclaimed, it seemed that this 'Wizards Council' had been wrong about spider silk of all things.[/i] "But...*ahem* anyways. I already have stuff that helps in my research. Diamond Dust. It is apparently worth a lot, but I, Elsimore the Wizard do not need such petty things such as 'currency'!"
