[ peter eyes the little flash of movement in sarra's lap, keeping his hands in his own, exactly where they can be seen. from what he's observed, charis has quite the mind of his own and he would rather remain as much on the "ambiguously neutral" side of his temperament as he can. tolerated, at best. he looks her in the eyes and offers her a non-committal shrug at that. ]
Reclaiming some documents. [ he says it with a smile, knowing it's not completely an answer. ] And along with that, a lesson in distracting the target here and a little lecture in liesmithery there and we should get through it all with flying colors. Completely harmless stuff, I assure you, but all necessary.
( squandered potential. yes, she can see why dagger would accuse her of that. there is much more she is capable of than she has brought to bear here, that dagger has noticed as much is unsurprising. that's probably the only reason she's still here, really. if she didn't have more she was capable of, he'd probably have given up on her, dragon or no. )
So I wouldn't have to hurt anyone? We're not being sent off to be assassins?
( sarra's relationship with violence is a strange one that not even she always understands — she saves the lives of goblins and dragon eggs, and then turns around and kills human cultists and hobgoblins without thinking. it's not something she really knows how to justify, but she follows her heart as much as she can. if it feels wrong, she doesn't do it, if it doesn't trip her morality meter, well, it's probably fine, right? being an assassin for dagger is probably one of those things that would trip the morality meter, but reclaiming documents she can do.
the others... )
Distraction and liesmithery? Does Dagger want me to be a spy? I'm not sure I know anyone less suited, honestly. Have I mentioned how terrible I am at keeping secrets?
