" Ivy," he repeated, smiling as if he should have known that already. "Need..." he seemed to pause, searching for the right words, " ... has nothing t... do with it, Ivy."I shrugged and looked away. Looking into that man's eyes were like looking into my own life, my own soul. It hurt and confused me. I concentrated on pouring him another drink."How old are you, Ivy?" he asked, watching my hands intently."Old enough." I smiled, but didn't look up. I corked the bottle and left it on the bar this. “I am a bit tired still and I am going to go lay down for a nap in my room. If you want you can join me and we can both sleep for a few hours before we have to get up and get dinner started.” I added as I stood up and offered her my hand to help her stand up. We went all the way down to my Suite and in the sitting area just outside the bedroom itself I had a nice wine bar and a tray of good weed to smoke. I looked at Julia and asked, “You have plans for the rest of the afternoon or shall we. As does the rest of Orzammar, I expect." Just so. Which is why we are here. Can we talk somewhere, privately?"Kardol nodded, and gestured at a dwarf standing across the room. The other dwarf, a balding, furry, short bear of a man, came over, and, ignoring us, began dealing with the lineup of dwarves that had formed near Kardol while we talked. Kardol turned, leading us away."Your companions can wait over there," Kardol offered, pointing to an area with some stone benches, and a fire pit with. Apart from Anna that is. 'It's not fair!' she bawled. 'Not only do I not get to be bridesmaid, but I was going to have Becky's room.''Please Anna, not now. Look, you have still got your own room out of this. And the Doctor said that you couldn't be bridesmaid because of your leg, not us. It's a shame, but these things happen some time. Now please don't upset Becky or your mother at the moment. They are very happy, and they have a lot of work to do I think to get Alan ready before next.
