I have no time to write Lavia a song about what's happening, but some simple chords might make her feel less lonely at least.
We've met a couple of people. A guard friend of Deedee's, Jeffery or "The Pike," showed up and might be sympathetic to our cause. He's still part of the guard, however, which means I don't entirely trust him. But we also met Deedee's wife, Nadja. While she worries about the whole thing, I trust her loyalty to Deedee. I've seen similar dedication at funerals where those left behind must be convinced to honour the dead in deeds - not following them blindly into death. And so, Nadja promised to enlist someone stealthy to aid us. But this also means that we have to wait for a day before we can properly execute any plans.
After getting a room at the Little Dragonfruit Inn, we've set out to case the area near our manta friend. The plan might be to have me distract the guards while the others free the captive, with Lavia assisting me if she returns in time. I just hope this doesn't go too wrong. And we have some questions for the manta.
