The paladin curled a wistful smile for Daegsatz. “But what if I want to help him too? I cannot just let him be.â€
Roen let those words fade as reached for the basket again, taking out what food she had brought: a grilled dodo this time, along with some parsnip salad. Her movements were somewhat slowed, her thoughts returned to Nero of course; the smuggler and his mission had been the sole occupants of her thoughts of late. She frowned when she realized this as she handed the dish to the Sea Wolf.
“I am going to speak to Ser Crofte tomorrow.†She shifted the topic again. “Surely, there must be something more that can be done to get you released.†Roen began to tidy up the parchments she had laid out, turning away from the Roegadyn to hide her look of disappointment. She did not want to say that she had received no assistance from Ser Crofte or any of the Sworns involved in the raid.

“Perhaps I will have more news for you on the morrow,†She reassured him as she stood. “We will get you out of here yet.â€
