With a nod, then Adventurer began to fervently recount all that had happened since their last encounter...
Kaine stood with his hand on his chin, taking in the details of the Adventurer's story.
"By the Fury... To think the Garleans would be so bold..." The Viera then lowered his hand back to his side. "Terribly sorry you went through all that. Couldn't imagine enduring such a tragedy meself." He then raised his hand a little as he spoke. "But I'm not sure I understand why you're telling me all this. Far as I can tell this 'as little to do with me."
The Adventurer then explained the current situation involving Lord Francel.
"Oh, you're looking for information. Well I can't say I know anything, but I might know a lad or two I can speak with." The Viera rubbed the back of his neck a little. "Guess I'll be joining you on another exciting day, won't I?"
This time the Adventurer seemed surprised.
"I can't let a fellow Ishgardian be framed for such nonsense. Course this means if you're wrong about this we'll both be branded as heretics..." Kaine lamented with a shrug before pointing towards a building not far from them. "I'm fairly certain you can find Ninne inside. I'll poke around while you head south and speak with whoever else it is you're looking for."
The Adventurer thanked the Viera, though they raised their hand afterwards dismissively.
"No thanks needed. We're friends, after all. Got to look out for one another, eh? I'll meet you back 'ere shortly."
While friend may have been a strong word, any ally would be a welcome one as of late. For now, once speaking with Ninne, the Adventurer would have to travel back down to the Skyfire Locks and the Observatorium to speak with the others Haurchefant had instructed them to meet. So the two parted ways, the Adventurer inside, while Kaine headed west.
