The fruit - a rarity for certain - was received with a courteous nod, Neron seeming pleased with the gifts and leaving them where Jigano put them for someone to take away later on. Besides, there was much more interesting conversation to be had. Raising an eyebrow (for this was the first he had truly heard about the Loreseeker's Guild, and Halo had no such fount of knowledge), all was going well until the inevitable mention of Mageglass. Neron's steely gaze grew colder still as he propped an elbow on the arm of his chair, at least having the decency to hear the bard out before considering a response.
"Since the Hollowed Grounds found Halo, Mageglass has been upon everyone's lips," he said. "I have said it is a legend, multiple times, and that we in the Citadel have better things to offer than imaginary glass." He frowned. "But it seems as though my word is not good enough. Gods and demigods, indeed. If you can find Mageglass, and show it to me, by all means we can discuss its study. But if you perish en route or come up empty handed, I'm afraid I can only say I warned you."
