[Shadow Mask]

"I will," Shadow Mask nodded, and then seemingly froze. It was hard to tell if she was even breathing. Her gaze was pointed at some meaningless spot on wall and minutes passed as she looked at it. Then, just as suddenly, she stood up and went to a corner where the light did not reach so well and her hands went deep into the shadows, pulling out a heavy tome in one hand and ink with quill in other few moments later. She returned to one of the long tables and sat as far away as possible from the two and started scribbling something. As she did, the cold aura around her seemed to slowly melt away and something human, more understandable appeared.
