Arnold thrust forward, but Amethyst ducked down. She couldn't dodge from there though, and the Gentleman easily kicked her over.
"I take it you won't allow me to simply search the library then."
"Of course not. You forget you're still playing our game."
The air above froze, forming into Amethyst's signature black icicles, impaling themselves into the ground. Arnold casually stepped out of the way, but was nearly struck as Amethyst whispered a spell, and lightning arched between them. A barrier surrounded him at the last minute though, and he was left untouched.
"You have been permitted to directly attack us then? I see this as motivation for us to join forces."
"Perhaps. Maybe I'm misinterpreting the Director's wishes. Oh well."
He sliced through the air, drawing an arch of light, which flew towards Amethyst.

Drake was rather enjoying the excuse to explore the library. Even the Director didn't have the layout memorized, so all he had to do was 'declare' a bookshelf in the way every so often, and he was easily able to keep Eximo from wandering towards Amethyst.
Still, it was a cheap hack of reality, and it wouldn't last forever. So as he tailed Eximo, he was also skimming the bookshelves.
The area they'd arrived at seemed to be arranged in a circle. The central, a large round shelf filled with grimoires. Drake scoffed at the organization, seeing a book on summoning rituals situated directly next to one detailing large-scale magical warfare techniques.
"Completely unrelated" he complained aloud, half-hoping the Director would hear him.
In fact, it was Eximo who heard him, turning around, and turning down his suction devices.
"Unknown entity will identify itself."
Drake was caught off guard, though it didn't show through his drama mask.
"Erm right."
He took a slight, albeit awkward, bow.
"Drake Eon, master of quantum uncertainty- and multidimensional representative of Amethyst..."
He paused for a moment,
"That introduction really would flow better if she had a last name wouldn't it?"
