Re: Chpt 2.3 - Arcanist's Ward
Filimena frowns. Marik is right. What is she doing? She seems to have lost her direction. Is she merely being curious, and distracted? Maybe. But that idea doesn’t sit right with her. She begins pacing, back and forth, agitated.
[Language unknown: “Us com’en icnc trnce wa menon iluromprad t stst-enle,”] she says, still pacing, staring at the ground. [Language unknown: “Lesce reaoveect'onsast t trastaess aicare ri romur tinhouthe omyin pl shece derna ore str p ovevenles fi… rut butereion eau p heng sierar.

It’s almost as if everything that has happened so far has been the work of some Arranger, putting things together, laying down a path for them. Algabassadur? They have never done anything like this before, and no, they can’t be powerful enough to do this, or they wouldn’t need her. Her brother? No, she shakes her head. That’s just absurd. The thought occurs to her they never really pressed Floon and Ranaer on how they looked so similar. Was Ranaer adopted?
[Language unknown: “Ain th whalho. O ti tromin ie m k sati taet, nce urpaio’t e lar infita verwasome. Re me reaingere thfo wiwi iliemo he witaveure be n intpo ma.

She turns and slumps against the wall, tired. She realises she’s been on edge since the last evening and isn’t thinking straight. She glances over towards Ironclad, and considers going over to help with some buckets herself.
OOC: Haha ok, the truth is I’ve accidentally fallen into the meta-gaming trap of thinking that because something has appeared in the narrative, it must somehow be a clue, or otherwise related, in the same story arc. But I do also think that this is something Filimena would consider in-character. She’s not in a decent frame of mind, and there do seem to be a few too many coincidences about.
