[QUOTE="Gray Shade, post: 2656415, member: 32340"] [b]The Heart of the Matter[/b] Pollock listens intently to Romanna's explanation and watches her closely as she draws the rough map. [color=olive]"You arrived by ferry, eh? I'm sorry, I thought you'd arrived by ship--from the mainland. Very well. Perhaps we'll stop in and ask Abner a question or two, but my suspicion of him is not what it was if you came over on a routinely running ferry."[/color] [color=olive]"In one way or another, I suspect you are entirely correct. There are a few items I maintain worthy of immediate investigation. However, because we are limited to only one 'immediate' time . . . "[/color] he trails off and looks out at the ocean, seeming to forget his forgetfulness and enjoys the moment. He meets Romanna's eyes and says, [color=olive]"Oh, I'm sorry. I don't mean to keep you out here in the rain. I just can't remember the last time I saw the ocean or enjoyed its scent and feel."[/color] He then turns abruptly and starts back up the rocks toward the path to town. [color=olive]"Come on. We'd best make haste if we are going to get to town and meet your friends before I sit down to dinner with this high priestess. And I'd quite like to immediately investigate this lighthouse, once we've rallied with allies."[/color] He squints at the gray/white sky, through the drizzle of rain. [color=olive] "I cannot tell here: How much of this so-called daylight have we left? And when exactly does the High Ecclesiast sit for her evening meal?"[/color] * * * Once Romanna answers, Pollock will wave her on to follow and head quickly (but not so quickly she can't keep up) toward the town. Once there, he will try to help her rendezvous with her fellow Gamael worshippers. [/QUOTE]
