WESSEX
The fact surprises her, and yet it doesn’t. “Really? Nate is the cook?” Someone that hasty and impulsive has the patience to tend food? And then, “Even with the fire thing?” Color her impressed - and even a little happy to see that her brother has a domestic side. Even so, Wessex’s eyebrows rise to her hairline in surprise even as her hands get busy wiping it down and slinging the raccoons on it, belly-side up.
Cleaning and prepping th meat is fairly routine still, and they’ve done this kind of work together before. Her blade slips down the midline, holding the body up to let the blood drain out into a second bucket while she explains the relic situation. “Oh yeah, still relic hunting. But it’s getting really difficult and time is closing in on us. There’s a relic somewhere in Stormbreak, and one more elsewhere, but the Stormbreak one is elusive and Ronin is working on a shield that will kill any Ascended who enter the city. So even if we do find it, or they find it and the Knowtbook tells us about it, we might be out of luck.” Glancing at him, she tilts her head in consideration. “That is, unless you can assemble a non-Ascended, non-Abandoned or Hybrid team to go in and beat Ronin and Remi to it.”
Those are some severe limitations. “I don’t know how close they are, only that they haven’t finished it yet. I’ve covered the Temple, Sleeping Steps, Needle, Archives, and some of the Silk Houses - notably the White Hart and Mother Molly’s. The Voice has no idea where it might be… perhaps somewhere old.” Shaking the now-bloodless body to rid it of its remnants, one final swipe of her knife lets the loose organs and viscera tumble out, splashing wetly into the bucket. “And then that last one… no clues yet, but I imagine it’s either in the Greatwood… which is also problematic. Or the Climb.” It that barren place any better? At least they can get there. But the lava is also a particularly dangerous problem.
