Chapter 6
In reply to Ciryl Fontaine (msg # 603):
"He'll turn up again soon enough. Either here or on the road. The man's an illusionist. If he doesn't want to be found, he's not going to BE found."
Brennan raises an eyebrow, then folds his arms crossly.
"You did not seem to have an aversion to rifling through the possessions of others during the battle," he says. "This isn't some vanity project. I'm not looking for coins to spend at the nearest tavern like a common cutpurse."
"The belt contains whatever contraband this Inquisitor may have collected so far. Ritual pieces, perhaps. And oils, ointments, and similar items that could be useful on the road ahead. The amber is necessary to protect ourselves from the Inquisition's sight as we travel, and as you saw, it grants a measure of power against demonic influences. Which we may well need. As for the writ and badge..."
Brennan exhales sharply.
"Fine, THOSE are vanity projects. But only Partially. I want to at least confirm she HAS them, so we know she is who she says she is. They will also allow us to know her name. There is power in Names."
His expression softens somewhat.
"Besides, are not the least bit curious as to who she really was?"
