Qibli's Interrogation

Context: Qibli on the Run, Qibli gets captured and interrogated about where her magic was stored.

Qibli

Qibli

Do you know what would happen if he actually succeeds?

Qibli

Qibli

Every single magician in this country is registered.

Trinket

Trinket

Ugh, look.

Qibli

Qibli

None of them will be safe.

Trinket

Trinket

I will start hurting you if you keep being difficult.

Qibli

Qibli

And risk spilling magician blood?

Trinket

Trinket

You are already spilling it yourself, aren't you?

Qibli

Qibli

Heh. Fair. But here's another thing.

Qibli

Qibli

Go — go tell Kismet that. He's a smart man. Tell him, ask him to think about why magicians are only born in Bauhinia in the first place.

Qibli

Qibli

The emperors summoning them to the palace did something. Slowly fewer and fewer magicians were born in northern areas. Now, in the modern day, they only appear in Bauhinia's borders.

Qibli

Qibli

What does he think would happen if he starts killing magicians this way? Draining all the magic out of them?

Trinket

Trinket

This area is outside of both of our expertise, but one thing you left out was that the total number of magicians born never fluctuated. They just changed places.

Qibli

Qibli

Because they're migrated. If they're killed en masse, things would be different. Do you think Kismet would risk that? I know he's listening. He can consider it right now.

Qibli

Qibli

I can work for you. In exchange for you destroying that magic machine and never attempting anything like that ever again. Is that a deal?
