Vesper frowned, but didn't back down. She took a breath. "Tobias, I'm sorry Fiona is hurt, but we have to talk with you. We just want-" She jumped back when Tobias stood, turning to look at her. His eyes were red, and puffy. It was obvious he was torn up about his sister. "You want to know if we had anything to do with it. Do you think the others haven't already thought that? Of course, we must be! Kerrek kept us close, so that must mean we're guilty, is that it?!" Vesper stared, wide eyed and stammering, backing up into Brynn as the man towered over her. "We didn't even want this job! My sister was to take over the family business. She should have been working towards that, but no. Father wanted us here. Wanted us....Now my sister....Fiona is...." He was panting, eyes wide and full of grief, absolutely besides himself.<br/><br/>Merlin piped up when it became obvious Vesper was at a loss. "Of course you're both prime suspects. Can you really blame everyone. You and Fiona pushed everyone away, treated us lot like dirt. And on top of that you were Kerreks noble pets. What would you think if it were you eh?" Tobias looked at him, having seemed to calm down at that. His golden eyes trailed along the mage's face, and he seemed to be thinking before he spoke. "....We are...not better than you. We don't trust easy. Pushing everyone away is the surest way to assure we stay safe." He sighed, and gave a dry chuckle. "Fiona knew that was not ideal but.... " He trailed off, and a moment went by before he gestured for them to sit.<br/><br/>"We did not know of the beast, to answer your no doubt obvious question. Like I said we did not seek these jobs out. Our father came to us one day, said we were to offer our assistance to the Owl, and not to ask questions. I understood why he'd make me. I'm the problem child you see. Like to go out and disgrace my family name, or so my father thought. Didn't approve of my lifestyle. But I never understood why he made Fiona join." He looked towards her sleeping form as he spoke. "She was the perfect daughter. Everything I failed to be, but none the less she took the duty with pride, but she had as of late been growing....weary? I suppose. Kerrek was in correspondence with our father. He'd send Fiona back and forth with letters, and packages. She had eventually got curious and snooped. Said she found some thing, and that she was going to look into it. A week before we got the job from that faulty lord, my sister had been digging through the Owl's records. She said she found a large sum of the companies money was just gone. No trace of it. She didn't share everything with me, but she did say that the job, and the lord rubbed her the wrong way." He shrugged " I don't know what she knew. She didn't get a chance to explain before it all fell apart."<br/><br/>Vesper frowned "Your father? Was he involved, do you think?"<br/><br/>"Honestly? He'd a cold bastard, and it doesn't surprise me he might have something to do with this. I'd say probably." He said making a face like he had a bad taste in his mouth. Vesper huffed"Then he needs to be questioned!" That made Tobias laugh a bitter laugh "If you can find him, be my guest. Do me a favor though when you do. Bring him to me so I can ask if my sisters life was so easy for him to throw away."
