The Amell Legacy: Transgressions

[Marian Hawke]

Marian steps between the Seeker and Carol's prone form, hands balling into fists, ready to fight if need be.

[Haliel Lightsong]

Kneeling next to Carol, Lightsong channels healing energy through the young woman. "Miss Carol?"

[Helene Dakesh]

Helene massages her temples, shaking her head. "I am alright," she says, quickly, as she sees Varric approach. "This one was only slightly harmed, and the healing was more than sufficient. This one can defend this one's self."

[Carver Amell]

Carol lets out a low whimper. "No," she whispers. "No healing. Finish it."

[Haliel Lightsong]

"Absolutely not," Lightsong says softly, running her fingers through Carol's hair. "You have been harmed and must heal. You have done harm and most atone. Death is not a path you are allowed to take yet."

[Varric]

"Let me look," Varric demands harshly, then looks down for a second. "Sorry. Please."

[Carver Amell]

Carol slumps, then, staring at the small pool of blood in silence. Never allowed. I just want it to end. Why can't this torment end?

[Helene Dakesh]

Helene nods, stepping out from behind Marian to let Varric see. "I am unharmed," she repeats.

[Varric]

Slinging his crossbow back around his shoulder, Varric moves to Helene and starts probing at her face with deft, gentle fingers.

[Haliel Lightsong]

"I will walk with you and help you find your way. I promise," Lightsong murmurs. "It will be hard, I shall not lie to you on the matter. You will stumble, you will fall, you will backslide. But you can get back up. You can keep going. Get stronger. Become happier. Find more love, more family. Reconnect with your twin. Face your fiance and discover the truth of things. Not right away, not all at once. But you have to keep moving." She leans back a little and smiles warmly "So let me help you up and we can go have a talk, or just sit quietly for a little while. Or.... we can find Miss Beth if you're ready to try and make things work."

[Helene Dakesh]

As his fingers brush over her cheek, Helene leans toward them -- just a little bit, but noticeable since he's paying such close attention.

[Carver Amell]

"No," whispers Carol. No to any of it. No to all of it. No.

[Haliel Lightsong]

"Alright," Lightsong says agreeably. A moment later, Carol can feeling arms slip under her and she's lifted into the air. "Then we'll have a bit of a walk and cuddle at once."

[Varric]

Varic notes the movement but is too keyed up and tense to really... notice it. "...yeah, alright. Not broken or anything," he admits begrudgingly and steps back.

[Helene Dakesh]

"No," agrees Helene. "Miss Amell is likely the worse off for the encounter."
