The Amell Legacy: Transgressions

[Helene Dakesh]

Helene reaches over and gently taps Marian's hand, something like a swat.

[Marian Hawke]

Marian starts, lifting the cloth off her eyes to see who did that. When she puts it back, she frowns. "Se-- Mas-- Helene's not talking."

[Haliel Lightsong]

"Seeker Helene would prefer you not curse," Lightsong says for the samsaran. "And... yes. Mister Varric and Seeker Helene were... caught in a cave-in for a few days. They... it was traumatic. They are recovering well however." I hope anyway... Mister Varric is not very forthcoming about his issues or problems and with Seeker Helene being nonverbal...

[Varric]

"New scar or two, but nothing too bad," Varric agrees easily. "And, on the good news part of things, turns out that while we still owe a quest, as we didn't finish, we don't owe for the rescue as Rapling goofed the threat assessment. Drow slaver bands were not exactly in the briefing." And isn't it just curious indeed that they were right there (and ready for us). 

[Marian Hawke]

Marian gives a small, bitter laugh. "We're a sorry sight, aren't we? Any chance I can have some sleep tonic? See if that headache goes away?"

[Helene Dakesh]

Helene shakes nir head emphatically, then sits on the floor, grabbing for nir sketchbook to begin drawing something out -- as ne often does when ne is trying to get across a complex concept while nonverbal.

[Haliel Lightsong]

Haliel helpfully cranes her neck so she can see what ne is doing and relay it to the group.

[Helene Dakesh]

Sadly, that's not much help -- ne is drawing out arcane symbols, ritual shorthand, bypassing a description of the arcana involved in favor of transcribing it directly. 

[Haliel Lightsong]

"Ummmmm... magic. Nir comment is magic," the paladin says in a completely lost tone.

[Varric]

Snorting with amusement, Varric takes a half step closer and peers at the notebook. "Ice... micro-conduite... Oh! You think she's a kinesist? Or... no, you think she almost become one?"

[Helene Dakesh]

Helene nods, but then hesitates, shakes nir head. Ne then sketches briefly a caricature of a skull, then crosses it out. 

[Varric]

"Clearly not as..." Varric pauses as Haliel pales slightly and glances away. "Ah."

[Marian Hawke]

"What?" asks Marian, totally lost without even the visual aid.

[NPCs]

"Yes," a high, feminine voice pipes up from the doorway. A young girl, merikos elven but with a green tinge to her hair and hints of yellow banding on her skin, enters the room. She's wearing a soft white sundress and has bright red ribbons keeping her hair in pigtails. Almost skipping to the bed, she pulls herself up so she can see Marian properly. "Ray Lightsong performed quite the miracle. Not even all of us Daughters could have pulled that off. Growth is part of our nature, but Grown and Life is not quite the same you see."

[Marian Hawke]

"Are you a healer?" rasps Marian. She goes to shake her head, but aborts the mission partway through, wincing instead. "What's wrong with me? Can you fix it? It hurts so bad..."
