This party of Poe's was loud. And while that was usually something Mina could manage, she still had a few hours to go tonight by her brother's side as part of his intricately planned New Year's Eve. They weren't set to remain here in Scotland long, however; they hadn't been staying in one place for more than an hour at a time. So, after valiantly attempting her best to mingle and endure the exciting atmosphere that was expected from a Poe Harkiss gathering, Mina slipped away from the party. She had been to Poe's barn a few times before in the last few months, to work on projects here and there and ask Poe for his opinion on matters. She thought maybe...
Mina let out a sigh of relief when she saw, upon lighting a few lanterns, that Poe's workshop was empty. The quiet wrapped around her like a thick, warm blanket and her shoulders dropped as she closed the door behind her. She was intent on not disturbing anything, so Mina made her way carefully through the room, gliding to the closest seat with the least amount of clutter on before it.
Mindful, Mina pulled back her hair as she sat down. The intricate, twinkling details of her dress shimmered in the low light, catching the light in such a way that it bounced off the glass on the table. She shifted, looking down.
Remembralls? What was Poe doing with remembralls? Curious, Mina took out her wand again to produce more light. She did not touch, did not move the objects before her at all, simply inspected the few deconstructed magical objects. It appeared he had isolated the smoke within from the glass, but to what end...?
Looking over her friend's work, interested in what he had done, Mina did not realize someone else was in the room with her.
