Solomon brought up a good point, but as China had always known for a fact that the multitude of rumours surrounding the Dead Men were never anything more than rumours, she didn't believe any of it made an upstanding Elemental mage any more questionable than an ex-Necromancer. Solomon's attempt at defending himself, though, still made her smile.
"Yes," she admitted with a sigh. "Again." Though it would be the first time in the presence of someone else. "Solomon, you're offending me. Do you really think that I wouldn't be able to outsmart whatever Sanctuary grunt you put in charge of cataloguing everything? You're very lucky I have a renewed sense of right and wrong. Although I suppose you wouldn't have asked me if I didn't."
The Repository wards were still the last on her to-do list. The sensitive nature of the items inside and the classified nature of the people allowed into the recesses of the room made it one of the lower-priority areas in the Sanctuary. That, and one of the angel statues was always guarding the entrance these days, and even though China created them - even though she could see, quite clearly, how to deactivate them in an instant - it still made her uncomfortable to see one of them watching her every move.
The comment about her self-esteem made her laugh again. "You have a very inflated opinion of your influence over me, Elder Wreath. Feel free to go back to sleep if I'm boring you. I daresay the others would prefer a sleeping package to bring home again."
