- If the queen returned my title? It's complicated. I'd be slapping the queen in the face if I said no. It doesn't matter, though. That'll never happen.
- It can't hurt to dream.
- Maybe. It's hard to tell. I don't know Belinda that well, so I'm not sure if my noble upbringing bothers her.
- Give it time.
- Passiflora Orichalcum Earring
- Bowl[s] of Salad a la Consortium
- You're right. The more time we spend around each other, the more she'll see that I'm just like everyone else.
- Well, not exactly. But I get your point.
- Yeah. Just keep at it.
- I sometimes forget how life was easier for me than it was for a lot of people. This whole business with my brother has really made me think about that.
- Orange Passion Fruit Tart[s]
- Passiflora Mithril Earring
- It's pretty simple, really. You can receive a title directly from the queen or inherit it from your parents or another relative. A title comes with a manor in Divinity's Reach usually.
- And you're rich.
- Not necessarily, though most noble families are. And, if you're an invited member of her court, the queen may give you an allowance from the royal treasury.
- Raspberry Passion Fruit Compote[s]
- What does it mean to be a member of her court?
- It basically means you have a skill she wants you to use on her behalf. She has advisors on many subjects in her court, and then there are those who are just there to be charming.
- She lost an opportunity when she took your title away.
- She had no choice. When the Ministry arrested my father, it forced her hand by making his situation public. The queen—and thus the nobility—have an image to uphold.
- I think I understand. It's politics.
- Yes. It's so nice to see them fighting side by side. I know it has lifted Marjory's spirits. Her sister means so much to her.
- That's nice.
- Bowl[s] of Tropical Fruit Salad
- The Inquest are brutal enemies. They have absolutely no conscience whatsoever. We're here to look into thieves working for the black market, but the Inquest won't leave us alone.
- They must have a lab nearby somewhere.
- Bottle[s] of Passion Fruit Sauce
- I'm ready to explore beyond the ridge.
- Unless this is a forward-scouting group. Maybe they're looking for a location to build a new one. Eh, they're fools, if so. These vines don't make this area exactly hospitable.
- Where did the vines come from?
- As far as I know, the land west of here has been cut off—more or less—for a long time. Criminals seem to have a few secret routes to get in and out, but who knows what goes on over there?
- Passiflora Orichalcum Amulet
- You think the vines are spreading inward from beyond the ridge?
- Apple Passion Fruit Pie[s]
- Passiflora Mithril Amulet
- It's as good a guess as any, don't you think?
- What's out there?
- It is. I'm ready to find out firsthand.
- The Maguuma Wastes. Other than that, who knows? The Orrian flooding could have changed the entire landscape.
- I guess we'll find out. I'm ready to explore beyond the ridge.
- Sounds interesting. I'll be back.
- Bowl[s] of Grilled Bananas with Passion Fruit Sauce
- There's some crazy stuff going on out here. Makes me really feel the distance between us and the Citadel.
- This is a big adventure.
- Cherry Passion Fruit Cake[s]
- I want to get a sample of those living vines. I wonder if I could create hybrids?
- Easy there, mastermind. These things are dangerous.
- I know I have to do my duty, but I'd much rather be here with you and the others.
- You're a good soldier.
- I just wish I could see what's on the other side of that wall. I've never been this far west. My family isn't known for adventuring beyond Shaemoor.
