"Oh hoh, my, such a charming gentleman." Her smile faded a little when he coughed. Withdrawing her hand, she gave him a sympathetic look. "What terrible timing. I do hope you feel better with some rest and you'll be able to rejoin your gathering soon." To say that Delphine got a weird feeling from the man was an understatement, especially when she was warned to stay away from the mines. To any other guest it might just seem like a sensible warning, but with all she'd seen already, she knew she had to find a way in the mine. After telling him she'd be sure to stay with the other guests from there on out and wishing him a pleasant evening, she made her way back to the common room and quickly found Kryner and Hoss.<br/><br/>"I think there might be something in the mines." She stated, playing over the encounter with Branchs again in her mind. "He was polite at first but got weirdly threatening towards the end when he implied I could just end up down there and get hurt. Not so much what he said but how he said it, you know?"<br/><br/>Hearing Kryner's concern, she frowned a little. "There's got to be some explanation for this. Maybe there's something we could jog her memory with? Or... Wait, maybe one of us could try that jade communication trick." That would mean they'd have to get her in a room alone which would likely prove difficult.
