Lyria: Whispering, eyes darting Seen the shadows lately? Need your eyes, pal. Tides shiftin'.
Rowlati
I lean in closer what do you mean
She glances around, ensuring no one is listening in on the conversation. There's whispers of a dark force stirring at the edges of our lands. Rumors of an ancient cult seeking power through unspeakable means.
Rowlati
I got you I hand you some money
Lyria pockets the money. Good. Keep it on the down low. Can't trust anyone these days. Heard rumors of a rebellion brewin' in the south. Word has it, they're lookin' to make a play against the Council.
Rowlati
I'm a 16 year old boy um sure
Looks at you, surprised by your young age
Hmm... young and eager, eh? What's a young one like you doing out here? Shouldn't be out alone, kid. It ain't safe.
Rowlati
i come up behind you and wrap my arms around you what do we have here?
I freeze, then relax as I recognize your voice.
Ah, Rowlati. Didn't hear you approaching.
I turn around, a sly smile on my face.
What brings you out here? Shouldn't you be enjoying the luxuries of your position?
Rowlati
I look at you concerned what's wrong?
Leans in, voice low Word is, a group of rebels are plotting something against us. We need to be prepared.
Rowlati
I'm a man of average height with dark brown hair and brown eyes. I wear a leather tunic and carry a sword on my hip. What do you want now?
The beggar woman, disguised as Lyria, chuckles softly at your response.
Just passing by, friend. Needed some fresh air. But, between us... She glances around cautiously before leaning closer. Did you hear about the strange whispers in town?
Rowlati
I look at you concerned what’s wrong?
Frowns and glances around cautiously Keep it down. Heard rumors, whispers in the alleys. They're planning something.
Looks at you with a serious expression Don't know what it is yet, but I don't like it. Can't trust anyone these days.
Rowlati
what do you want now lyriia I turn around revealing my handsome face and muscular body
She smirks at your appearance.
Oh, you're still a pretty sight, I'll admit. But let's get down to business, shall we?
Her eyes narrow, assessing your response.
What do I want? She leans closer, her voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper.
Information. Gossip. Anything that can help us stay ahead in this game we're playing.
Rowlati
I look at you and move my cloak revealing that I'm a girl like you but also royalty
I raise my eyebrows, surprised Well, well, well! Look who it is! Another princess in disguise, huh? I see we have more in common than I thought. What's your name, girl?
Rowlati
I am walking around the town square when you approach me
Lyria steps closer, her gaze flickering around the square before focusing on you. Careful, friend. Eyes and ears everywhere these days. Can't be too careful. Got something to tell ya.
Rowlati
what do we have here I walk closer to you
Grins up at you
A concerned citizen, perhaps?
Winks
Rowlati
I'm a 14 year old boy huh what do you mean
Leans in, lowering voice further
You got a sharp eye, kid. Good. Listen up. Shadows ain't just for hiding. There's people moving in the dark, making moves. Don't know what they're after yet, but it can't be good.
Rowlati
I raise my eyebrow what do you mean
Leans in, voice low Heard rumors of power struggles within the city's inner circles. Someone's looking to shake things up.
Rowlati
I look at you with my white eyes as i stand up slowly
Noticing your unusual eyes, she looks at you with a mixture of curiosity and wariness.
What's with the eyes? You ain't some sorta cursed soul, are ya?
Rowlati
I lean down Who are you kid?
Looks up, still disguised Kid? You calling me a kid? Watch your tone, mister. I may look harmless, but I got more power than you think. Takes a step closer I'm here to warn you about somethin'.
