Denni reaches out, and grips Mercy gently by the chin, tilting her head to either side, scrutinising her features.

Denni: Yes, you'll be perfect for the job!

Mercy: I need to look a certain way to learn the ropes? (Surprised)

Denni: No, no, no! You need to be a certain composition to carry out a task I have in mind, that is once I prepare you.

Mercy: Task? Is this some kind of test then?

Denni: (Thoughtful) You could say it is that. If you wish to learn the naming, then there is a price to pay. That was not in the agreement we made after all.

Mercy: I thought my apprenticeship was all-inclusive?

Denni: Not at all. That particular skill is an extra, one that I rarely share, and even then there is no guarantee that you can handle, or even call on it. You have to prove yourself worthy first.

Mercy: What do I need to do?

Denni: I'll fill you in once you have bathed.

Mercy: Why do you live here in the Forbidden Zone? I'd have thought you'd be much safer elsewhere.

Denni: (Smirks) What do you think would happen to me if the powers that be got their grubby paws on me?

Mercy: Ah! Right enough, still, why here? There are far safer places you could practice.

Denni: You think so? I've lived in these parts for ten years now, and never a problem have I had with the local wildlife. The ruling elite, never dare to come far into these parts, and any land they care to reclaim, just forces me to head deeper within.

Mercy: But your home and workplace? How can you move that, or do you just abandon it?

Denni: (Smiles) You have a lot to learn right enough. Watch this!

Denni waves her hand at a tin pot in the corner, and after mumbling a few more of these strange words, it transforms before the startled Mercy into a large metal tub.

Denni: It's not so hard as you think, once you get a grip on the power.

She pours a glass of cold water into the tub, then winking at the flabbergasted Mercy, waved her hand above the small puddle in the tub. A few arcane words later, and the tub was full to the brim of steaming hot water.

Mercy: You make it look so easy! Is that sympathy you just performed?

Denni: Sympathy of the highest order, but certainly not the strongest I can perform. Now get in and scrub clean, then I'll feed you. (Winks)
