It has yet to answer my question. [Shale says to the strange ferryman, who has been quiet this whole time. He could at least answer why is this little wooden boat able to hold her.]

[Shale looks back towards the river, the boat completely out of sight. So much for throwing a boulder at it.]

The skeletal ferryman did not have the courtesy to tell me who it was. But I can say right now that I want to hear that skull of his crunch underneath my feet. [Anyway, she turns her attention back to this rather chatty mirror.] And what is it this time? Another human. I assume it is a prisoner here also?

Um, it's name is Thomas.

[deathtoallbirds]

[Okay, she's done now. She just stares at Thomas. She'll think of a decent name to call you eventually.]

It can call me Shale.

[prodigalvampire]

Only if it calls me Thomas.

[deathtoallbirds]

[She doesn't know this fellow well enough to give him a nickname but...]

Oh, but I already know of one named Thomas. I think he was rained by arrows from one of the darkspawn. Pity.

That sucks. I'd like to skip a repeat if that's possible.
