"I see...what resources do you have to offer, and for what resources do wish to trade?"

Tabitha nodded.
"I suppose that is true; While there are some niche and or minor overlaps between fields here and there, most of them are quite distinct and specialised, also posessing more specialised realms of study within them, such as Organic chemistry, or quantumn mechanics."

Tabitha paused.

"So you are a sorcerer, yes? I suspect there are other fields? Like witches and wizards and the sort?"

"Not just limbs; bones, organs...more complex means more time to regrow, yes, but for fingers, about three or four days...arms and legs only a week or two."

"What about cancers? Or...or infections?"

"If it is not brain or heart, we cut it out and regrow." He said with a shrug. "I myself have had three lungs and one stomach cut out...it is not big deal, just something that is the case."

Vara paused with a raised eyebrow and with noticable confusion on his face

"If you want I could give you demonstration." Taka said, removing a standard-issue Aerlanican Bayonet from it's sheath in a very nonchalaunt manner.

Ann smiled brightly; she liked making people happy, like all the people in her storybooks her mother read to her, and her own tales she tried to make up when she was younger. She could still remember the tubes down her throat and the machines often hooked up to her, and remembered how her mind wandered so freely when her legs could not.

Now, her kind-natured exploits were now free from those machines, and free from Iblion...what wonderful things she could do?

Well, she'd find out one day, for now she just made her mission to make Eveline happy.

Nelly was happily eating her expected full, and had to restrain herself to keep from gorging on the delectible boar before her and making a mess. But she happily and gleefully proclaimed her excitement for the coming dessert.

After Nelly was done with another slice of boar, she let out a laugh.

"I honestly feel a bit guilty enjoying this," She said with a wide smile, "It tastes so good it might as well be illegal!"

The druids assembled themselves, and after firm words from Hawthorne to not "sing", they entered the cave in single file, following the steps of Carmellia almost perfectly.

"So, this is one of your safe hiding spaces? Looks like a cave...doesn't the Tyramonian army ever come up here?"

"As the name of our house suggests, we have such an abundance of steel it might as well grow from the trees themselves...furthermore we have precious gems, and we have consistently been producing a comfortable excess of grain for at least three years and thus have a surplus; I noticed the slice of bread for my breakfast was thin, suggesting frugality in it's use. We will be more than happy to give you a portion of our grain, in return, we seek an edge over our...enemies."

Prince Kressidia looked over to the woman siting atop the chair to the side, and frowned.

"My grace, I do not wish to sound rude, but...who is your advisor? I apologise, but the only other nation that posesses females in seats of power would be the Aerlanic's, who have a female leading their "Ranger" corp."
