"Oh?" There's spread laid out already on the dining room table. She gestures for them to help themselves.

"We're planning on skipping town. We haven't yet decided if that means to elsewhere in this world, or another world entirely. We're both very good at moving things and people around very quickly, and I can open portals between worlds, though my aim for specific ones is shaky. You could come with us, at the very least to be dropped off elsewhere, though we wouldn't mind your company for at least some of our travels."

"I see." She glances at the Keres.

The Keres gives a small nod, expressionless.

"Travel to another world does sound exciting," she continues. "Though I should at least start my servants on their journey back to Minrathous."

She leans into her girlfriend. "We can set them down a good bit of the way there, perhaps."

"Not that close, I think. I don't want them to be the first news of events here. Far enough away that they won't be caught up in any local upheavals."

She nods. "Sensible. It might help to have somewhere pointed out on a map, but we can likely improvise."

"I do have maps." Many of them, in fact, some of them quite pretty. She indicates a point to the west, in a country called Nevarra. "The roads from here to Minrathous are straightforward, and relatively safe."

"Alright." To the Keres: "Does putting her servants there seem acceptable, darling?"

"Entirely feasible. You do not wish to bring them with you?"

"That would not serve them best, in company such as this."

She nods. "And it's important to look after allies, especially those under your responsibility."

"Just so."

"Anything else before we get to setting out?"

"I will need a few moments to finish setting things straight here."

"We can wait, then."

She explains to her servants what will be happening and sends them off to gather their things, then disappears down to the basement for a while. The servants reappear before she does, with a bag of things apiece. Eliana comes back up with a satchel of her own across her shoulders, wiping off a bloody knife on a spare cloth.

"Clearing up some old experiments?"

"Just putting the place back the way I found it. With old bodies in the basement."

She laughs. "It's a pity we're having to leave Kirkwall so soon."

"There will be other basements. And bodies."

"We'll certainly even cause a good number."

"I believe we're ready to depart, then."

"Very well. The servants first, perhaps - if you would, darling?"
