[after the npc reveal, laudna can be found sitting out near the pyre on her own, with pâté fluttering nearby. she has her long hair hanging down over her face and she's clearly talking to herself out loud.]
...Still nothing from you? How long are you going to give me the silent treatment? You're useless!
[but karlach has opened up to her a bit, so she'll say - ]
That fine lady I mentioned. I can almost always hear her, even when I don't want to listen to her. But whenever I'm the one who needs her advice, she gives the silent treatment. I don't like it very much. It's not like she has anywhere else to go.
Loudmouths always want to get on your case about what they think you're doing wrong and then shut up at the key moments. What kind of advice were you looking for? Not that I'm gonna be any better at it, but at least I'm less annoying.
Well. I was hoping she would tell me how to kill all of them. I can't figure it out just at the moment. She would know the best way. Even if they blocked her power - they wouldn't be able to turn her into some sort of helpless sacrifice. Not her. She's far, far too strong for that.
well, she does pause for a second, because mass-murder is a common suggestion in the tadpole camp that she tends to not like, but. she gets where it's coming from? it is a little alarming but she's not going to paladin oath about it.]
Is that what you think you are? A helpless sacrifice?
[a little nod! she's glad for the harsh response, really.]
Not me either. All of those things. I don't know that we've got to jump to kill everybody about it, but I'm with you - so we'll stop it from happening.
I know that doesn't help much, though. Sit around and wait's fucking terrible. [her tail wriggles almost anxiously.] I'm not the one to ask about strategy. I like going in and ripping holes in things, if I'm honest.
If it were just me, that'd be what I was doing. Breaking shit until I couldn't anymore.
Gods, I'm glad I'm not the only one. Gale has us sit and talk plans and I'm just not about it. It'll work out when we get there, but we gotta get there!
[this is all very nice, but that's also a loaded question. it's difficult. she's had people shower her with compliments before, and some of them had bad intentions, so it's a little confusing.]

she comes over and flops down next to laudna without any sort of fanfare, glancing up at pâté.]
... He mad at you or something?
no subject
[was she talking to pâté?]
Oh, Pâté? No, he's fine. He's a good boy.
no subject
Oh. Well, hey, then. [waves at him.] Who were you talking to if not him?
no subject
No one.

[she actually says that a little harshly, a bit defensive.]
Not me. But that's what they intend to make us. I won't be one. I won't be dragged here to their party and slaughtered.

I just think the four of 'em from earlier are our best bet for more insider knowledge. Know thy enemy or whatever.

Too much? [like she's not going to stop doing it, but.]

[twisting a strand of hair in her hand.]
It just makes me nervous, because I don't like when people lie to me.
