Ma'ar nods and reads through his list again. "Anything else I should add? I guess if either of us thinks of more we can just Mindspeak each other. I won't have time to actually go for a couple of days." 

"Nothing else off the top of my head."

Nod. "Good luck with yours, I guess." 

"Likewise!"

When it is convenient for Skan they can go on their long flight to the temple to the Eternal Flame.

Skan has rested up for this! He's so excited! In his mind at least, Azabel is a SECRET AGENT on a SPY MISSION to learn about the gods! 

He's pretty focused while he flies, and only does the minimum of midair tricks when he gets bored. 

:I don't think I can be a secret agent if I'm openly asking questions on my own recognizance!:

:Awww. A non-secret agent?: 

:An agent of discovery!:

Skan decides that this is also very exciting, and does a midair flip, and then keeps flying. 

And in less than fifteen minutes, he's circling above the area of the city that she showed him on the map. :Figure it's the one with the copper roof?: 

:Seems promising, temples go in for expensive stuff like that:

Skan takes her down. 

The copper-roofed building does prove to be the temple to the Eternal Flame. It has a decorative rock garden out front, and a stone bowl sitting on a pedestal, in which a little fire, cleverly fed with lamp oil through some pipe below, is burning. An acolyte in off-white robes is guarding it, and waves to them. 

"Hi! - what's that for?"

The acolyte blinks and then looks down shyly. "This is our tribute to the Eternal Flame," he says, stammering a bit. "It's - not the real thing, the real thing - can't be seen or touched..." 

"Is it on the plane of fire or something?"

That gets her a confused blink. "I'm - not sure? I think it isn't anywhere, it's - in everything and all of us all the time..." 

"- everyone?"

"- That's what my teacher said? ...Maybe, but I'm, uh, new and I might be confusing it with something else, er, you should ask someone who's a senior priest." 

"Sure, who should I go to with questions?"

"Er, what are the sorts of questions you have?" 

"Lots of them! I'm doing a research project."

"Oh. Right. Er, just go in?" he gestures at the bronze doors, "and ask for the senior priest - you can tell them that and that, uh, that Rowan sent you?" 

"Thanks!" She goes in.

The inside of the temple appears to be all one room; it's spacious and quiet and surprisingly well lit, by discreet windows just below the eaves on all four sides of the building. A couple of chandeliers hang down from the rafters, candles presumably lit at great inconvenience by people on stepladders (unless this temple has access to mages who can do it from a distance.) 

A few people are sitting on a rug to one side of the room; one of them rises. "Hello?" 

"Hi, I hope I'm not interrupting you but Rowan said I should go to the senior priest with my research project questions?"

A different figure rises, gestures for the other to hang back. "Oh? What sort of research project? - I am the senior priest here today, by the way, my name is Alat."
