Tal watched Valehna and followed her gaze when she looked up to the blue and red glow. He too wondered what it was, he guessed the blue was lyrium. Was the red part lyrium too? He'd never heard of such a thing, but he didn't really know much about the stuff at all. Apart from that lyrium potions helped mages power and human Templars took lyrium to aid their abilities. He'd never needed such a thing, being a warrior.<br/><br/>He hummed at her question. "I don't know. I guess it's bad for the children, but I think it'll be bad for us if we don't give the stuff to the spirit. Who knows what it would do if we didn't stick to our end of the bargain?" He explained his worries, hoping that perhaps the elf would have something to say that would comfort him. He felt unsettled. Even if they did give the lyrium to the spirit, what if it knew they had considered crossing him? He knew enough to give them all a vision of something that meant a lot to them, after all. Well, apart from Ester who claimed to only see darkness.<br/><br/>"You're just so easy to insult." Ester replied, turning on her side to look at him properly. She pulled the bed sheet up so it tucked comfortably under her arm and rested her head on her elbow. "Why are you a prisoner?" She asked, curious now the topic had been brought up. It wasn't a topic she really wanted to talk about, until now. She contemplated what he had done and what the others had done too. Had they done something worse than her? After she asked, she knew he'd no doubt turn the question back on her. She wasn't sure how much she wanted to tell him. If she mentioned the use of blood magic, no doubt he'd run or try and kill her. Most had a bad view of it, even she did.<br/><br/>"Wait, let me guess. You talked someone to death?" She teased.
