Florien’s General Thoughts
Just keep moving, Florien. One foot forward, past all these streets and faces. I see the guards, some of them look at me with distaste in their eyes. Other Wolfric.
At least it’s no longer False Wolfric.
The people of Waterdeep are quite… varied. Their conversations are a little confusing at times, but I appreciate the little talks I have had. Fish with feelings, pineapple on pizza… And my sister getting married to the Marrowfin family of all things.
And then there is that conspiracy. I do not know what to make of it without more investigation, but that is not something I can do alone. Perhaps the library will have more. I hope to find some way to navigate the conflict of Waterdeep without more death.
Florien’s Thoughts on the group
Adam/Tarvo
You and I, we have not talked much. Still, I care for you. I know how it feels to be lost, in a sense. Maybe one day we can have a proper heart to heart.
You might enjoy talking to Tyr… I need to tell you about him when all of us meet again.
Kerrick
There is an absence of a comforting and steadfast presence without him around. It was not noticeable at first, but meeting all these people only made me realise how difficult it is to navigate their conversations. I fear I may have been too blunt with some of my words, I lack the tact Kerrick has.
But…. It could have been worse.
Rona
I see you everywhere I go. I feel like a madman, turning to talk to someone who is not there. I suppose I have gotten used to having you by my side.
The streets of Middle Waterdeep are lovely, but it stings to walk those paths without you. The sunlight in the trees, and the wind breeze, you would have enjoyed it.
Still, I cannot help but feel a divide. There is a sense of safety here that is absent from Lower Waterdeep. It is not fair, I wish this serenity could be shared.
…
There was a fountain by the temple. I thought of you when I saw it, singing by the flowers.
When we meet again, maybe I could take you there.
Florien’s Thoughts on specific NPCs
Faust
I do not understand. They call you a hero, a butcher, a protector of people. A slaughterer. All these names and titles and yet… I wonder if you are still my brother. I dread our meeting, but you have made it clear that this something I cannot refuse.
Years have passed, and I do not know how different you are. If you have changed at all. You never apologised after that night, either.
I… I am not ready to see you again. If I could just delay it a little longer—
Eric the Artist
I enjoyed our chats, though he was quite peculiar. He said a lot of things, some of them a little incredulous, but considering the past few days, I could use a little bizarre happenings. Though, maybe not too much.
I hope that artwork of his goes well, his craft has proven to be impressive.
Pineapple on pizza is not too bad, really.
Tyr
For the first time since I set foot in this city, I found myself able to quieten those thoughts in my head. The temple, so serene—a place of respite. I did not think I would be able to fully appreciate the peace, but you approached. You, a stranger, were so kind… I hope I can one day properly express my gratitude.
Your words uplifted me. You listened, you spoke so gently, and I felt a sincere warmth I hadn’t felt in a long time.
Thank you.
