Maybe Shale or Sten will show up. They could manage it.
[He shoots her a grateful look, relieved that she doesn't comment. It's strange enough as is, the last thing he should be doing is saying things like that.
And as.... weird. Uncomfortable. As it is for him it has to be more than a little upsetting for Robyn too, being reminded of who he's not. Which has to matter a little, even if, true to her word, she treats him like a completely different person with whom she's just friends and nothing more.
Just because he feels bad for her it doesn't make her response any less horrifying, mind.]
Oghren-! [Cue spluttering as Alistair tries desperately not to think anything at all and fails miserably. Screwing up his face in disgust he moans miserably-] Now I need a bath.
[And one for his mind too. Or a good distraction.]
I guess so? You got the run around with Harrowmont and Bhelen too right? 'Go do this', 'go do that', 'kill them', 'fight this', 'find her'. Ugh. [It had been frustrating to say the least, jumping through so many hoops with the Blight looming overhead. But that's not answering Robyn's question.] We- Aedan chose to support Bhelen's claim.
[A decision he's still not sure he agrees with or not. Bhelen was underhanded and untrustworthy. But he had been willing to give the casteless a chance to fight which was better than most dwarves seemed to feel they deserved. And in the end, Bhelen hadn't been the worst of them down there. Stepping ahead, Alistair pushes open the door for her, frowning out at the grounds as he does.] What- What did you do about Branka? You found her too, right?
