They-- [They have got Circles in Nevarra. Is that what she means? It would make sense, and Matthias knows about being taken away to one of those. But maybe it isn't the same for someone that becomes a Speaker. Could she mean something else?] I mean, but that would mean double for your side, right? If he got dragged off, he ought to be all the more ready to help you. 'Cause he knows.
He knows that he turned out just fine. That he became exactly what they wanted for him.
[ The anger creeps in to her voice. Maybe it wasn't fair to say Ilias was everything the family had dreamed, but it was more that she hadn't even come close. She hadn't turned out to be what everyone wanted, and that was why they thought they could take her son and make another proper little Fabria family asset out of him. Rather than letting her ruin it.
She trails off despondently, ]
Grandmother isn't going to have her mind changed by him.
[ And clearly Grandmother has quite a lot of control over this family. ]
[That tells him enough of Speaker Fabria, then. Still some mage that Matthias will watch, of course, but anyone that's going to assume what happened to them was best, when kidnapping was involved--anyone's that not going to help, with something like this, but let it get carried out all over again--]
That's shit. [In case she needed that said.] And if he won't help you, than he's not much better'n shit himself.
[It ought to be a lot to think of. And it is, sort of, and he only knows half of it, or really, less than half--but Matthias is also quick to take a side, especially a side that's plaintive, that's laid out so clearly, that started with someone bloody helpless and screaming in the street for their kid.]
You're in the right place, though. If you're needing help. That's what Riftwatch is for. That's what I think, anyways--and I know I'm not alone in that. If you want someone to help you work this out, you should stay. 'Cause we can. I can, if it comes to it.
