[IRP] Return to the Dread Isle

[Alusq]

For exactly one second, Renata was pleased with the reaction she'd gotten out of Lennox, but as soon as the man mentioned the church she paled and shrunk in her seat. "Well said." The meek mutter barely escaped her lips. After Raye had introduced herself, it occurred to Renata to get her own introduction out of the way as well. "I am Renata, a mercenary of Thria." She'd already forgotten about the pseudonym she'd used in Badon.

Renata raised an eyebrow as her breath was suddenly visible in the air. She'd seen fog many times during her life, of course, but it tended to creep in slowly and stay outdoors. Just some morning mist, her mind hollowly reassured herself. Was it even morning? Or was the ship simply approaching the edge of the world, the fabled place where time loses all meaning? The latter seemed infinitely more likely.
