The Sunspire The House of Troubles

She got the paranoid, youthful feeling there was still some judgement behind the woman's dismissal, and it irked Maia, but because she was still pretty eager to come across as cool, she didn't say anything.  Instead she listened silently as Treason explained her redshank comment. "Oh. Umm." She didn't quite know what to make of that one.  Liffey told them not to break his leg because he wanted to kill Rannoch? "He didn't say why? That's super random."  Who wanted to kill Rannoch? 

"Maybe Rannoch has some kinda secret past, and they're tryin to hide it." She mused out loud, not really believing it but enjoying the train of thought it led her on.  Maybe he was like, a mercenary or assassin or somethin, and this Redshank guy was out for revenge because he offed his brother/mother/cousin.  She didn't know why that would make Liffey stop them from breakin his leg but it was a cool story.
