"You sound surprised." Tal smiled, placing his axe on the floor. He wasn't necessarily surprised, people had a lot of strong opinions about Qunari, most weren't friendly. The Qun also had a bad name for being too harsh.<br/><br/>"Can't say I'm fond of it either." He replied to her comment about the Dwarves. It felt too claustrophobic underground.<br/><br/>Ester took the carrot from Mesaraih, taking a bite of it before placing it down on the desk. She knew they probably shouldn't take the items in the chests, but they'd been through enough and needed half of it's contents. Besides, no one seemed to live here anymore.<br/><br/>She picked up the staff, running her hand along it before studying the orb. It seemed to be a fire staff, one that she could definitely use. When he mentioned what she couldn't talk about earlier, she felt her body tense up.<br/><br/>"Right, I can heal your wound." She nodded, holding her hand out. "Can I use your dagger?" She asked, looking at him expectantly. Her stomach began to twist, her mind filling with worries and doubts. The last time she'd used blood magic it had gone terribly wrong, but that was a much more complex spell. There was also the worry of her companions reaction, she was risking him running off and telling the others.
