Northstar Vale dine with me

He noticed the concern on her brow, the frown which she quickly tried to smother. She cared for him to stay? Or was it that she cared for the Court's number of workers only? He breathes deep a moment, watching as she took another bite of her rabbit and spoke further. 

I plan to stay until I can find them. Andraste grants me leniency to search for them and after the winter passes, use Court sentries for aid." Why she offered such help to someone she barely knew, he did not know. Either she was a very holy wolf or believed her kindness to him would be of great benefit in the long run.

When she spoke then that maybe his unit would stay here with them when he found them, he smiled delicately. "Perhaps." He spoke only. He did not wish to bring her down, but knew the Nereides would likely not live under the rule of a non-Nereides if given the chance. That their way of life would clash with many, especially that of Andraste's way. And they were sea faring wolves. Being entrapped within walls of mountain simply wouldn't do. 

He does not say all this though. Only dips his creamy chin down to rip at his first strip of fish.
