Magik has posed:
    When Selene made it known that she is leaving, giving Illyana permission to remain if she so desires. She desires it. It isn't that Illyana doesn't want to be around a psychotic elder mystic, but there is only so much she is able to withstand before she does something that person will regret.
    It is a better benefit if they part ways for the day, meaning Illyana can actually get to know the associates of her associates. Taking another sip of her tea, Illyana looks to Shredder confidently. She replays the question another time in her head, deciding he would either hate the question or admire it.
    "So, what sort of operation is this?" Illyana asks, wondering.

Shredder has posed:
    Shredder sits, arching his brow as the impatient Selene goes to handle her other business. "Sort of operation?" Saki asks. "StockGen?" He allows for a more specific question before answering, settling onto the cushion and taking up his tea.

Magik has posed:
    "All of the above," Illyana replies, looking around the dojo. "I imagine all of the Black Queen's associates have secondary resources somewhere in one city or another." Looking around the room, different weaponry catches Illyana's attention. She sees an axe in particular, and then returns to Shredder, turning her head noticeably towards the axe. "May I?"

Shredder has posed:
    Shredder arches his brow. "I have made a practice of not easily revealing my activities," he answers, gesturing an affermative toward the weapon. "It is an antique. It is no longer ready for combat, so be gentle with it.
    "If you pursue life in these circles," he adds. "You would be wise not to pry too far into the dealings of others unless you are willing to risk the consequences of finding their secrets. There are many who would kill to keep their secrets."

Magik has posed:
    Illyana stands to her full height when he approves of her handling one of his collectible weapons. She walks over to the massive axe and picks it up gently, expertly, and she begins maneuvering it around. Definitely an older axe, the marksmanship is still up to par for a weapon of its age.

    Tempted to throw the axe, Illyana grasps a stronger hold on her desires and places the axe back where it belongs. "Secrets are nothing if there is no one to keep it from," she replies. "Besides, my allies' secrets should not be of consequence to me. I enjoy helping where I can."

Shredder has posed:
    Saki smiles. "You are young," he says, "Or so I gather." He walks to where she stands with the axe, unconcerned about an attack, clearly, his hands folded behind his back. "Allies can shift. Especially for those of us without a concern to age. Selene and I have been on friendly terms for some time. That does not promise those terms will not at some point shift. You and her may even find a shift at some point in the future."

Magik has posed:
    Illyana doesn't smile when Shredder assumes her age. It is happenstance because of the effects ruling Limbo has on her body. She does turn though, noticing Saki's movements behind her and taking in her presence. "And when that day comes," Illyana replies, considering a matchup between Selene and herself, "I hope everyone is ready for Hell on Earth."

Shredder has posed:
    Saki nods with another smile. "I'm sure," he agrees. "I chose alabastar for you, do you know why?" he asks, indicating the bowl. "Alabastar is a beautiful stone, but it is used for many things. It is mostly used because it is shapable. It is easy to carve and scuplt. I do not know if that is true," he admits. "However, I believe that is what Ms. Gallio will desire to see. Someone she can mold."

Magik has posed:
    "I will provide the Black Queen with enough to satiate her need for me," Illyana replies. She turns to face the man fully, a finger tracing the axe from behind her. "I am her apprentice, after all. Nevertheless, I am no fool and my will is much stronger than... how this body appears." Illyana makes it known that her body and mind are not one. Not yet.

Shredder has posed:
    "Hmm," Saki answers. "It is a good thing to hear for your sake," is the reply. He walks slowly back to the table. "I will certainly be interested to see how you develop, I am certain that there is more to you than meets the eye." He picks up the bowls, stacking them gently. "If you are willing, I may call on you for your knowledge in the future, you most decidedly have a talent."

Magik has posed:
    Slightly appreciative of the man's words, Illyana steps forward from the axe and returns to the table, standing in front of it. "You certainly have a way with words," she says, gifting him with a nod. A golden stepping disk opens next to her. "If you need me, call out to me and I will be there."

    And without a proper goodbye, Illyana is walking through the portal to Limbo. A manicured hand can we seen waving towards Shredder once right before she passes through completely.
