Snippet #2734410

Robin let What Narissa told her sink in, trying to both untangle fact from idle thought. Fact, Clara was born on the last known long night and there hasn’t been one since till Maelthra stomped about. Fact, Clara has sicknesses matching a winter child.

What he needed to know was who the Winter King is, and how he, if it can be called that, is connected to Clara. But as he neared the room, and Narissa knocked Robin took in a deep breath and walked in. Clara was confused by the unofficial visit, Robin had to heave a sigh and figure out how to be charming to the princess and teasing to Narissa in payment of her dragging him over here when he would’ve been comfortable at the inn, planning the Rebellion and figuring out Maelthra.

But the Latter was possibly already solved by Clara. ”Right, Robin, what did she tell you?”

“Well, Narissa is really incredibly concerned by your safety, despite Maelthra so far keeping his word. This Winter King business might mean I might possibly be juggling two evils instead of one very soon if we’re not careful.” He explained, he didn’t want to step onto the part that made his curiosity shake.

He heaved a sigh. “Also, Narissa told me a minor story of you figuring out something that matches a theory of mine as far as how the Shadow King returned to Farlaan. I told her my theory, but so far, not only has she remained skeptical, she’s wanted me to see for myself.” He then smirked coyly.

“She even tried to play matchmaker. Imagine that. So now Clara I have to ask, what have you found out, and do you know for sure that a certain owner of a certain body is still in there?” He asked, his face turning serious.
