What a terrible burden it is.
"He may be remembering a wager from a decade ago, thus my assistance is somewhat selfish. He said it would take fifteen years for anything to come of it, I said less. The sooner you kiss her? The more coin I make. Of course that was back when we were running odd, strange errands like putting blood on an alter or taking artifacts from one cave to another for the promise of five silvers and I cannot quite remember how much it was for." Probably not enough for this much turmoil. "The Nightingale is part of you, this is true. But you are more than that. And if anyone can understand the importance of time spent elsewhere? I think Morrigan might."
