*Crystal comes in, apparently unarmoured if not unarmed, wrapped in a colourful woollen shawl as well as her green travelling cloak*
Something warming barman... I think my bones are turning to ice...

*Lily gets up from her table near the fire, and walks to the bar smiling*
"Evening Crystal! It's bloody freezin' outside tonight ain't it!"
*she looks at the barman*
"Stick her drinks on my tab, I'll sort it out tomorrow. Can I have another mulled wine, please?" _________________ Doctor Kythara DeWinter

Hello Lily, winter is really starting to get the hang of things now. Apparently the day I was born on was even colder. _________________ Crystal Rose Fleetfoot

"Really? It's cold enough now, I swear me fingers are gonna fall off..."
*she takes her drink gratefully from the barman, and walks back to her table by the fire*
"Why'd they be draggin' Nathaniel into the Guardhouse, anyways? I saw when I was walkin home, and I don't understand. He hasn't done anythin' wrong." _________________ Doctor Kythara DeWinter

That'll be two mulled wines for the both of ye then. I'll have the boy be out with them in a moment, from the back room. Got to keep 'em hot in the kitchen after all, else punters will have a fit.

*Lily lowers her voice and leans in toward Crystal*
"I do have an inklin' it was to do with the Dwarves we rescued the other day... Cause someone posted up sayin' people had been murdered; but we didn' murder anyone, we rescu'd 'em. Saved their families and stuff. But I'd mentioned Nathaniel before I scribbled my note out."
*tears quietly fall down her face*
"I don' want him to be in trouble cause of me bein' foolish..." _________________ Doctor Kythara DeWinter

*Lily still speaks quietly, huddled near the fire*
"Well, we rescued almost all of them. Some got killed by the guards while we were trying to rescue them - the people there had got the Dwarven miner families held hostage to make the miners work! I mean, if they paid em well enough such measures wouldn't have been needed..."
*she shakes her head and coughs into a handkerchief, and uses another one to dry her tears*
"Sorry, I babble too much these days. But... we rescued at least two thirds, maybe one person out of every family died? It was terrible, but we did all we could. If Nathaniel hadn't been there.... lots more people would have died." _________________ Doctor Kythara DeWinter

*frowns* Surely it is more expensive to keep hostages than pay workers? _________________ Crystal Rose Fleetfoot

"Probably. But we knew we had to rescue them, and there were casualties during that attempt."
"Someone called Tiber asked about it on the Ithronian Notices; I should have actually found out who he was first before answering him, but he said that they were all murdered! So... somehow the rest of the survivors must have died after they fled the mines."
"It's still not right. Maybe I should go to the Guardhouse, and talk to them on Nathaniel's behalf?" _________________ Doctor Kythara DeWinter

I'm not sure they'll let you in. But if Nathaniel did nothing wrong he'll be fine. I'd be more concerned about what happened to cause the death of those dwarves... _________________ Crystal Rose Fleetfoot

"All I remember was that there were two metal automata guarding the place, telling anyone that if they went inside they were to work."
