Gathering Away

((Margaid can go here if she likes - https://dragonageafter.forumotion.com/dragon-rest-f8/of-assassins-and-oracles-t39.htm - sorry for the wait on that.))

Torture had waited until Lithawen left Nygozy then rushed up towards the hill. He stopped and turned, coming back to Margaid and Sinjan. He nudged the woman's leg, hopped ahead and then nudged her again.

"I believe he wants you to go see Nygozy with him. Don't worry. You'll be fine. She won't bite you." He smiled at her and patted her shoulder as he turned to see Lithawen coming towards him.

Margaid swallowed noisily, looking around her before smiling shakily at no one in particular. She took a few steps forward, and would have turned to run screaming away except that Torture came up behind her and gave her a stiff nudge in Nygozy's direction.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm going." She insisted vehemently to the mabari, and sniffed petulantly. The mage tugged at her dingy robes, strightening the tattered cloth to something more 'presentable,' (a trait she had learned to imitate from the humans she observed, despite having no use for the gesture, herself).

Having psyched herself up slightly, the maleficar marched straight up the hill where Nygozy had situated herself.
