No, you can stay at home, you just won't be allowed in until this is over. I don't expect it will be long. A week or two at most, as long as no one else but Rifters and Templars show symptoms. Do you think you can bear life without my company that long?
( Truthfully, she considered going anyway, to be alongside those dear to her. It was not lost on her, however, that having someone outside the Gallows might be more to their benefit. That is not a question, however, she can put to any of them and expect it to be fair on them. )
You have seen through me. ( Light, though not nearly so easy breezy as usual. )
If there's something you need, will you tell me?
( That's Marisol for I'm worried with a but we usually banter so actually saying that is weird twist. )
Of course. You can have a flamingo fly them over the walls to me.
[ Nell is seemingly not worried at all, her tone every bit as light as usual. The pause that follows is only weighted by Marisol's discomfort, which may be easy to miss to those who do not know her as well. ]
It will be fine. The only Division Head still standing is the Dalish Scoutmaster, and all the rest are replaced by their seconds, who are mages-- myself, Vandelin, who is something of a rebel, and Casimir, who is Tranquil. I'm not sure whether Beleth realizes it or not, but if I decide to end the quarantine I can. They've no power to hold us here, especially not with all of the Templars gravely ill.
An elite courier service, flaminGO. I'll have to look into the potential profits that could be made.
I am sure you're right. ( Which is sincere, because she trusts Nell's judgment. It does not make it easy to say, and there can be times when even the soundest judgment can be undermined by the unknown. )
Do you think the Tranquil can be relied upon not to bend to the will of those that out-rank them?
When you've a flamingo delivery empire, I will demand a cut for coming up with the idea.
I don't think it matters what the Tranquil does. If it came to a vote and he did as the Scoutmaster told him it would be 2-2. If the Scoutmaster decided not to count our votes since we're not technically division heads ourselves she'd find herself unable to enforce the quarantine, since the guard is currently stacked with extra mages. They literally cannot hold us against our will even if they want to.
( For better or worse. Sometimes worse for the person getting the credit, when the credit comes in the form of a knife in the back. )
Very well. If you are confident of the decision, I will not doubt you. ( Her skin is crawling a little, but she's hardly imagines that's something unique to her. Perhaps she simply needs to bathe again, to wash off whatever might remain on it from her brief foray into living in the Gallows. ) I will just have to drink all this wine by myself. Very sad.
