we're climbing until we transcend
higher, higher to where the skies end
higher, higher to where the skies end
When the man explains what his establishment is, Morrighan doesn't bother holding in her yawn. The activities of the horses here are still beyond her. Maybe someday she'll come to understand more things, but for now they provide little interest to her. "Sounds boring," is all she replies with, though it'll be amusing if August is shocked by this response. She could always give the place a visit and maybe it won't be so bad, but she also knew the general idea of gambling. Even though she didn't use her money often, she also understands it can buy necessities here. She didn't need to lose it all at once.
The mare is pleased to hear that August also doesn't like Raum. Of course, he'd be a fool to think otherwise. Was there really anything stopping him from lying to her just to stay on her good side? Perhaps the task she's giving him will act as a test for all. She smiles.
"Good," she replies, giving him a nod. Maybe since she didn't spend her money much, she could dig into some of her stash and give him a good reward if he ends up succeeding. Everyone here liked money and their strange economy made it into a ruler.
"Report to me as soon as you find out anything and I can tell Isra," she adds, following his gaze back to the altars. Raum's still stuck out like a sore thumb and the desire to set it ablaze still tugged at her mind. No, not yet. Let it be bait for those deemed untrustworthy.
"And what ever happened to Abel? The one we caught during the market fires?" she decides to ask him, although he may not even know anything. The bay stallion would be one person of interest in this mystery since he is already known to have ties with Raum. After his capture, he was imprisoned and should've been banished, but he could still be out there. He'd be a fool to sneak in and set up something so elaborate, but once a minion, always a minion.
@August (oof sorry this sucks <3)
