(The Blades around you. They seem to have been in the middle of discussing something when you entered.)
|
Gallagher
|
We're voting for you to go to Ortel Castle to check something out for us.
|
Gallagher
|
Do you know anyone ELSE who has access to Ortel Castle, Ceara? Of COURSE I'm sending <Belle>.
|
Ceara
|
That's not my point. My point is that you shouldn't send anyone at all...
|
Gallagher
|
(Gallagher rolls his eyes and turns to you.) Now, you've heard about the secret chamber, yeah?
The secret room in Ortel Castle where a beautiful woman resides...
(Gallagher gasps at your confused expression.) Have you really not heard of this?!
|
Marrec
|
It's all just some stupid rumor. No one who's ever ventured into the secret room has ever returned.
So no one can confirm whether there really is a beautiful woman there.
Why argue about a rumor that can't be proved either way? Seems like a waste of time to me.
|
Marrec
|
Why are you guys staring at me like that?
|
Ceara
|
It's just... You're right. You make perfect sense.
|
Marrec
|
And? You know, that doesn't explain the looks of utter bewilderment on your faces...
|
Ceara
|
(Ceara struggles to hide her shock, but fails.) What bewilderment?
We're not bewildered that you're actually right, for once... Not at all.
|
Gallagher
|
Yeah, stop distracting us, Marrec.
(Gallagher turns to you.) So are you going or not?
The only way for us to figure ou if this rumor is true is for you to go and find out in person.
|
Ceara
|
Oh, stop that, Gallagher. Do you even know where that room is?
|
Gallagher
|
If I knew, then it wouldn't be called a SECRET ROOM, would it, Ceara?
|
Ceara
|
Don't you think you should find out where it is before sending <Belle> off to met [sic] the "beautiful woman"?
|
Gallagher
|
How am I supposed to find that out?
|
Ceara
|
That's my point! You can't!
|
Gallagher
|
Are you saying I should just give up on this? That's not in my nature.
|
Ceara
|
I don't see how you have a choice.
|
Gallagher
|
I always have a choice. And I choose...to ask someone where the room is.
|
Marrec
|
Who are you going to ask, though?
|
Gallagher
|
(Gallagher struggles for a moment, then smiles.) Why, I'll ask the captain. He oughta know.
He used to work with the Lord of Ortel, you know. He spent a lot of time in that castle. He'll know.
