The Amell Legacy: Transgressions

[GamesMaster]

"Of course, of course," he says soothingly. "You're a wonder, you are. So strong and brave," he says gently. "I will fetch the elders, of course. Right away. In the meantime perhaps you wish to lie down? I am sure you will remain awake, ready for when you are needed, but it can do no harm to let your body rest, yes?"

[Haliel Lightsong]

I know you're managing me, Haliel thinks petulately but forces herself to nod. But instead of laying down, she grabs a chair and, with a slight wince, pulls it over to take a seat next to Marian. "Thank you."

[Jassinth]

"Food and drink if you would as well," Jass says quietly, shuffling over to a bed himself. Slipping into sylvian, he adds in a murmur, "apologies for her demeanor. Her mate, or something close to it."

[GamesMaster]

He nods, stroking Jass' hand one last time as the boy lays down. I will never understand this mating drive. Ah well. 

[Carver Amell]

Carver pants, jogging after Roland as he grabs the man's arm. "Wait!" he pleads. "Where are you going? What's happened? Where is my sister?!" 

Marian hadn't come out and told him who she was -- that was one of the things that stung most, that he'd picked it up through osmosis. But he'd heard a rumor that Lightsong was back, had seen Roland departing the inn with his pack and a worried look on his face -- and had grabbed his new sword on the way down after him. He'd had a full night's sleep since his transmutation, surely he wasn't expected to stay in bed any longer?

[NPCs]

"Healer hall- were you slept after your ritual," Roland says crisply, twisting his arm to dislodge Carver's hand painlessly. "Fine but out for now. Could use some company for when she wakes I suspect."

[Carver Amell]

"What happened?" he asks, urgently, as he falls into step. and is it my fault? for needing to be this?

[NPCs]

"Not sure, the Ray came back with Jass, both of them banged up pretty bad, Marian being carried. Word is she's stable but the other two are still down there. I have to go, Carver. Look after your sisters," he says, gesturing behind Carver sharply and starts to jog away. 

[Bethany]

"Carver?" Beth calls just as he glances over and sees her. She doesn't seem to have heard the same thing he has, but she's clearly seeing Roland rush off so...

[Carver Amell]

Still down there? Dead? Alive? Carver stares after Roland, coming to a halt. "I... Marian's hurt," he stammers. 

[Bethany]

Beth stops dead, face turning ashen. "W-what? Hurt how?"

[Carver Amell]

"I don't-- he said Varric and Helene are still down there," he urges. "I--- what do we do?" he begs. 

[Bethany]

How am I supposed to know!? "Umm. Well. Did he say anything? About us? He seems to know more so..."

[Carver Amell]

"I-- he said-- he said to look after you both. And that Marian might want company when she wakes up? In the healer's hall -- but I don't know where he's going if not-- what do I do?"

[Bethany]

Having him ask her for direction, having a thread to at least start with, settles Beth back onto transversable ground. "First, take a breath." She waits, meeting his gaze pointedly until he complies. "Good. We need to keep a level head. Whatever Roland knows, he must have gotten from Marian. So. We go to the Hall and find out how she is and... whatever else we can. Then we plan from there. Together. Alright?"
