::Natalia continues to try and look sypathetic to the woman continuing to tell her story::
So, she was born completely without a way to fight off sickness?
::Natalia is back in her dress, giving her the appearance of a noblewoman. Better yet a sorceress. As Natalia had guessed, the woman had taken her in, in the hopes that she would take pity on them and heal her child. Just as she had seen in her meditation. Things were going well so far. All the woman had done was babble on and on about her poor ailing daughter. The woman continued::
Mother: Oh, she's a strong girl. It wasn't this bad a few years ago! ::Cries hysterically:: No one saw this coming! and we're a poor family. We're barely making our mortgage here in the capital! It's been that way ever since my husband died! We can't afford a decent healer! And all the ones who were willing to do it for free can't make any headway! Please, you must help us!
::Under her mask of sincerity, Natalia is smiling:
Very well. If you have no qualms about getting help from a sorceress.
Mother: Oh no! I assure you, we hold no prejudices against your kind here. Please, I would sell my soul to Loci himself if it would save her.
::Natalia doesn't bother to hide her disdain at the mention of that name::
I will do what I can. Where is the girl?
Mother: She's upstairs in her bedroom. Poor tired little thing.
::Natalia says nothing more to the mother, and strides gracefully up the stairs to the girl's room::
A new player on the board. How exciting. Things are going my way Loci. Tick Tock, Tick Tock.
