"Ellia, is it? Hm. And I suppose you heard that she was courted by my older son, so you came here to look for her."

Her eyes soften a little at Tayyib's enthusiasm, and she turns to him. "A loved one? He must have pretty eyes."

Then, she continues: "What questions do you have? About inventing spells, I suppose? Since that's what Ellia is famous for. Well, unfortunately, she's not here, and has never been eager to share her process of making her spells."
