**The flame connection unnerves the woman at first, but it fades. Her reflection is rather serious looking, isn't she? Heh.. encountering Fire!Tanya (?Aynat?) would actually be pretty neat, except for the bit where there's a young child on the other side of this mirror.**
Tanya - "My reflection looks dangerous. What happens when we enter the mirror? Would our reflections appear in Fora's world as well?"
Larys- How do I explain this? When you enter the mirror, you will become your reflection... not entirely, but enough that it will be hard to tell where you and they begin. Your intent stays the same but the motivation is different... the...
Tanya - "So Fora is also her reflection? I was going to ask you what sort of emotional connections she's made since her parents died but her opinion on those would differ, wouldn't they?"
Tanya - "Oh! So what sort of emotional connections has she made then? People she left behind whose feelings she might care about, dreams she's had, anything that might help us convince her to come home."
Tanya - "It's not that I think we'll have any problems bringing her back. But it would be better if we do it in a way that doesn't make her want to escape into another fantasy." **Runs her fingers through her hair** "I don't know what I would have done if I'd encountered a mirror like this after my family - but if I had it and lost it I might have just tried to find another item like it, does that make sense?"
**She also thought better of what she was going to ask next. Although maybe her companion's reflection would help explain things? If her own reflection cared, anyway.**
Larys nodded, twisting one of the small crystals on the mirror's frame.
Larys- If you can get her to touch the mirror, the world will collapse and you'll all be back here.
A moment later there was a flash of light, and the thief, the warrior and the mage were gone.

Amber eyes that are far too sharp, too hungry. A body that clearly exercises daily, through injury if necessary. A small frame, no hips to speak of, and an upper torso that single handily kills any chance of her being an acrobat. An energetic, mean spirited sort that seems well aware that it is easier to smile than to frown, even at your enemies. Apparel– Background- Tanya's childhood was brutal, after the death of her sister at a young age she became obsessed with flames and eventually started a fire that would spread and kill the remains of her family. She inherited enough money to be boarded at the mages academy in epicrin, eventually convinced to join the peacekeepers to provide a constructive outlet for her passions. She eventually met up with Astera and Kherren when they were pursuing a light mage who was holed up in a tower, Tanya's bow put a bolt in the bastard's neck and they split the gold.

The Wild Hunters were gathered around an ornate mirror in an abandoned stable. Tanya was perched against a barrel full of old and weathered grain. Astera was sat in the only intact seat in the place, dusted off sufficiently for comfortable sitting. Kherren was pacing about, as usual, cracking his knuckles impatiently.
Kherren- Explain again why we're not just selling this mirror?
**The kindir ignored him, more than used to the nuances of both her partner's personalities. Astera lazily rose from her seat, stretching up to her tip-toes as if she were a large feline.**
Aster - Right. Let's see...
**The woman reached behind her and retrieved the book from it's hidden pocket, and flipped it open to the section she needed.**
Fora Laurent Slight young woman, blonde hair, pale blue eyes, scar on left cheek just below her ear. Prone to dressing in floral patterns.
Wanted alive, delivered to the unchained hart stables. She has been accosted by two figures claiming to be her parents, whereabouts unknown.
Last known location (Fora): Aforementioned stables.
Possible locations (Kidnappers): Artisan's Quarter, Bonfire Park
Aynat scored immediately, the barrel had a bracelet stashed atop its slightly odorous (and likely flammable) contents. It was a leather band, short enough that it might me skin tight on someone Fora's size. Pitch black with no adornment of any kind on the outside, the inner surface had two small but brilliant gems sewn into it, disks of emerald and sapphire.
Aster got a broader view of the room, there were four alcoves like the one that contained the mirror. One contained the aforementioned mirror, its floor was line with old hay which had obviously been disturbed some time in the last few days. One other alcove was similarly covered in hay, also looked like it had been disturbed. The other two alcoves were full of dust and cobwebs. The open room was dotted with barrels and included an upturned trough.
Kherren slipped on his mask with a sneer and his expression, his scars and tattoos all faded away. They were replaced by perfectly flat marble, etched with countless legal terms in innumerable tongues both modern and forgotten.
Aynat - "Found a bracelet. Why would they dump this?"
**She passes the bracelet to Kherren - he had the nose after all - before checking out the hay. Hrm.. cobwebs too. The woman makes a mental note to try luring a gang here sometime.**
**Ignoring the other two for the moment, Aster quite casually walks over to the disturbed alcove and carefully looks to see if she can discover any further clues there.**
Aster was quite certain that fresher hay had been laid over the older leavings quite recently, but wasn't able to find any loose items within the strands.
