<span style="color: #00FF00">Valehna knew that, given the information they had, Ester's idea was probably the best option. The mage might have other items that would prove to be helpful in their survival, but then again he might not. And it was true, the chances of saving the children were not all that high. Apart from that, there was a dwarven corpse inside the cabin. It seemed that, in its confusion, the spirit could  be dangerous, and was apparently quite picky.<br/><br/>Still, it was hard to decide to intentionally leave the children behind when there was the possibility they could do something for them.<br/><br/>"I agree," she finally said with a long sigh. If the spirit hadn't found them, they'd be dead already. We can't do much for them at this point. I'm curious as to what else the spirit might have had on offer... but hopefully we don't end up needing it."<br/><br/>She looked up at Tal as he spoke. "I... I just saw my old clan," she muttered, almost inaudibly. Her eyes were glued to the ground.</span><br/><br/>Mesaraih was only half listening. He wasn't particularly invested in making any sort of decision just yet. As far as he was concerned, he could choose to do anything he wanted between now and the point when they reached the lyrium. As a matter of fact, he had put himself in a strange mood. The spirit's vision had reminded him too much of the boy with big dreams he had been while his father was still around.<br/><br/>In the lead up to becoming an assassin, a lot had changed, but not his ambition. He had the stupid dream of becoming the most proficient assassin in all of Thedas. He laughed at himself for it, but took himself no less seriously because of that. And something inside told him this was only achievable by working alone.<br/><br/>He walked ahead of the group, too distracted to realize he was leaving them behind.
