Walkabout investigators

[leftbehindagain]

...So I think I found out how one loses a dragon. One of the kids here said she read in a book that a large enough dragon can change its shape.

So who knows what, or possibly who, the damn thing even looks like now. We're going to have to be careful.

Do you. [Even without inflection it sounds a little flat. Then there is a pause and the equivalent of a mental sigh.] Then you know what I was. What I was capable of. That creature viewed itself as a lord even among its own kind. And this place brings back too many memories. If you can find it in yourself to refrain from using that title around me, I would be very grateful.

[canbebrave]

The trumps are too cruel, to bring us back to this place, to remind you of such memories. I apologize again, Alcuin, for bringing any unintended hurt to you. I won't call you by it again, not here. And if you need any company, to distract you...

[willyousee]

It is already forgiven and forgotten, my lady. Thank you.

To be in my presence might endanger you if I am recognized, and yet... it is coming toward midday. If it would not be troublesome to you, I should very much like your company.

[canbebrave]

With your hair redened as it is, and your nature the way it is, you could easily pass as my elder brother. If anything, I may be able to help you blend in. It would be my pleasure to keep you company.

[willyousee]

Your-- Are you quite sure? I have been hiding my mental faculties and magical abilities to seem less suspicious. I will not be able to behave as myself if there are others about.

[canbebrave]

Of course. I believe it would help keep you safe, and you and your sister are already as dear to me as my blood siblings.

[willyousee]

Sansa... [It's almost a whisper, likely not meant to be broadcast even across this private line. There's a few minutes' silence while he gets himself together.] You honor me. Thank you. I do not know what Joscelin has told you of Phedre and I, but where might I find you?

[canbebrave]

He's told me very little- I know what I needed to know. My Lady gave me more... ah... shocking details, and you have taught me some on your Gods-- but aside from that...

It matters not. I remain in the Tyrian Quarter-- it's distasteful, but I've yet to find anywhere else to stay that would not arise suspicions.

[willyousee]

Hm.

[What he feels you need to know and what Joscelin feels you need to know are likely two entirely different things, as Alcuin has recently discovered. He'll have to test things out. Perhaps he can tell you a bit more, even, or find reason to ask Joscelin again what he has told to whom.]

I'll come see you, then, and perhaps we can find you better accommodations, though, alas, i think it unlikely there will be any befitting your station.
