Talion grimaced a bit at the sight of the barge.  That was a riverboat, any Nexus kid had seen a fleet of them in their time.  It wasn't suited for sea travel.  Why use it?<br/><br/>Once the priestess started speaking he understood.  It wasn't supposed to carry Kersinta somewhere.  It was supposed to sink.  Why couldn't anyone tell them what this ceremony was before?  It wasn't like it was the first time this had been done.<br/><br/>He'd caught Kersinta's look back.  She was nervous.  Afraid even, he thought.  All she had to do was say the word and he'd steal her again.  Was she trying to send a signal already?<br/><br/>Either way, he was here so she felt secure.  He hadn't been told not to, so Talion stepped off the dock and onto the boat, standing behind Kersinta on her left.  "I'm here," he said softly under the holy woman's prayer, "but if you don't want to be, just say so and we're gone."<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">I don't know what kind of check it would be to read Kersinta's body language/emotional state to see if she wants to go through with this.  Or any information.   But I feel like Talion is trying to determine that. </div></div>
