The Amell Legacy: Transgressions

[Helene Dakesh]

"This one enquired at the rooms we were staying in but they informed this one that you had not been seen in some time? This one was concerned this one's enemies had done Brianne harm."

[Nox]

This one? One what? Nox ponders that as he waits for Brianne to give him a clue.

[GamesMaster]

"No, no, just, you know. Stuff."

Helene frowns. "Your hands are shaking. Are you unwell?"

"No, I'm alright. Just haven't eaten much today."

[Nox]

"We were about to have lunch," Nox offers warily. Why was Briar working for a child? A strange one. Very strange.

[Helene Dakesh]

"Allow this one to treat," suggests Helene. "Both Brianne and Brianne's friend are welcome. This one will reconvene with Captain Isabela and we four can obtain food while Brianne debriefs as to the situation in Nyra."

[GamesMaster]

"Sure," says Briar -- Brianne -- glancing at Nox. "If that's okay."

[Nox]

"Captain Isabela?" Nox asks blankly. Is, uh, he? a page or errand runner for whoever Isabela is? 

[Helene Dakesh]

"Captain Isabela and myself were sent to obtain advance information and re-establish contact with Brianne before the rest of our adventuring party returns to the city," says Helene, nodding. 

[GamesMaster]

"So... everyone's coming back? Lightsong and Varric and all them?" asks Brianne, slowly. "You still need a guide?"

[Helene Dakesh]

"Of course." Helene gives a small bow. "This way. Captain Isabela was checking the Ciren temple." 

[Nox]

Glancing over at Brianne, Nox murmurs in catfolk, "is this a good thing or bad thing?"

[GamesMaster]

Brianne studies Helene. "...good," she finally answers, in the same language. "They're tourists. Steady pay, very little work, and it's work-on-my-feet not work-on-my-back."

[Nox]

Nox grins broadly. "Good! I'm glad you won't have to--" He winces. "Sorry. I know you need the work, but I just can't trust Jay."

[GamesMaster]

Brianne scowls. "What's wrong with Jay? He's no worse than anyone else."

[Nox]

Nox gives her a look. "You mean besides the beatings, the stealing and the not infrequent missing whores?"
