Cary just stares at her those grey eyes now ice cold...but maybe a glimer of warmth somewhere for demonstrating some...guilt...Arch Lich Burns wrote: ↑Sat Mar 28, 2020 11:04 pm ”Ah did talk ta tha people tha the guards susp’ct’d ‘cause Ah want’d ta find ou what ‘app’ned n why thay were susp’cts. Ah donnae think any o’ em did it n Ah wasnae tryin’ ta imply that did, but rath’r what sources o infomat’n Ah had. Ah wanna find tha person tha did it cause thar is a possiblity o it happ’nin’ again. Ah also feel like Ah could ‘ave done bett’r n escort’d ‘er out of town like Pete ask’d then she wouldnae been dead.”
Joe shakes a bit at the last part and pauses trying to collect herself.
Cary leans over to Ghrem and whispersBut ye want det’il don’t ye. Here is wha Ah found out from those people, tha victim stole from two pe’ple n blam’d it on one of em, ‘he claim’d tha someun stole from ‘er just cause thay didnae have tha inf’at’on she want’d, she caus’d a fight with a one arm’d man, n she physically n verb’lly abus’d ‘er family. Tha poor lad was tryin ta cov’r marks ‘he gav’d him n ‘e still was on ‘er side n thinkin’ tha sh’t was norm’l n she was only havin’ bad days. Pete told meh she used ta live on tha outskirts o town until recently an’ she want’d ta cause fights.”
"Does she ever listen to anyone else?"
Cary raises an eyebrow at this...somehow her eyes become a little less cold...“Hmmm... tha stone react’d right aft’r Ah attun’d it. N befer Ah attun’d it Ah came inta town. Do ye want tha details o tha too? Anyways, Ah felt dang’r around meh so Ah sent Ruby ta scout it n he saw n old lady yellin’ about ‘alflins but Ah ignor’d it as Ah didnae see it as a threat, n thought Ah was just bein’ paran’od til tha next day when she got near tha wag’n ta glare at meh, n tha was when we had our spat.
Cary looks down at Captain Joe and almost snickers at this...Befer tha spat though, well it be really emb’rssin’ ta meh...but it did get a lot of attent’on from folks.
Joe motions Cary to lean in and whispers
”Ah ‘ave a min’r curse on meh tha’ sometimes gives meh beard hair n Ah was dealin with tha for a bit o tha day.”
Then Cary leans back and then says nothing for a moment, she closes her eyes and breaths in and out for a few moments before stating in dwarvish "< Dense enough to make basalt look like pumice...>"
She then switches back to common, "I think that is the phrase for you Ms. Cottonwood that the dwarves would call you...for you see the most likely conclusion is that she was accusing you of stealing magical objects.... specifically your blue stone.....which I assume you found in some of the local ruins here about?..What exactly did she steal from these other two individuals? ....I find it odd that they didn't report the thefts either...and what 'infermation' was she demanding?"
Cary isn't looking at Joe but up at the sky...apparently trying rhythmic breathe out the feeling inside but listening obviously.
