Katia: Concentrate

With Sigrid gone, you take a couple minutes to calm down and collect your thoughts.

You made some really good progress tonight. You got a full meal, a new wizard-friend… but most importantly, you feel like you’ve finally found a place where you belong. A place where people believe in you. It’s the greatest, most heartwarming feeling you’ve ever had.

And it’s all thanks to Sigrid. You can understand why everyone in Kvatch is so fond of her.

First, you need to somewhat snap out of the charm Sigrid put you under. If that little voice in your head can still have some control over you, I advice you to put fresh water all over your face…Maybe that’ll help your clear your mind.

Huh? Sigrid might be awesome and know a lot of magic, but you’re pretty sure you would’ve noticed if she used some kind of charm on you. The only spell she cast at you tonight was a quick frost spell on your tail, after it caught on fire.

Other than that… she was just really nice to you. Like, really nice. She said things that made you feel like you’re not just some worthless piece of trash. Things that made you feel important. There was this one compliment – you can’t remember exactly what it was – but you swear it made you feel like the most amazing person in the world.

“You’re pretty” sticks in your mind for some reason, but you suspect it was something more substantial than that. You’ve gotten that much from drunken sailors.

Yep, the world must be a happy place for you Katia. Making the decision to give that poor wealthy master mage all of your money and your ONLY PAIR CLOTHES.

You only gave her what was fair.

You don’t remember the exact words that were exchanged, but you both agreed that the amount was fine. Sure, she took a lot, but you remember she had some really good justification for it. She could probably explain it again if you went back inside.

Katia, think carefully about what just happened. You walked into the Mage’s Guild, unsure what was going to happen. Then you met Sigrid and almost immediately had dinner with her, next to the strange mural. After dinner, you were promised ice cream and then gave Sigrid everything except your underwear, amulet, and possibly your lockpick. And now you’re outside. Without ice cream. Even though there was obviously enough ice cream for you to have a little bit. Doesn’t this seem a little strange? I mean, you promised Quillweave that you would do something very important to her, and you ended up giving everything to a woman you just met.

You… really really really don’t want to let Quill-Weave down again.

But it’s okay, that’s not going to happen. Quill-Weave won’t be disappointed in you. You remember there was some reason she wasn’t going to be disappointed. I mean… you did give away her package, but there was some reason that was okay. Some reason it didn’t matter.

You don’t remember exactly what. It must have been something complicated that Sigrid explained to you.

But… you know you had had some reason.
