Phaedra smiles and takes the offer glass, waiting for it to be filled.

"You know I don't normally drink, but I can make exceptions."

Taking a deep breath, she takes a sip like you would a glass of water and chocks on the taste. "Uhh... cough... cough... that is strong. Woooh slow down Phaedra."

Smiling back at Silver. "Thanks Silver. I don't feel I have any right to be upset... I didn't just pass from this world. But, you are right, I'm here to watch out for you and all of us and I failed. At the only thing I do. I can't fight, I can't sneak around, hell the only thing I have managed to best the whole time is that little eye stalk thing that hangs in the bar."

"The way he looked at me and then deliberately killed her, when he could have struck at me instead. He enjoyed it."

"We need to make sure he does not walk the streets of Waterdeep any longer. Aside from this stone, if it gets away from us Silver, we can't let him do the same. This I pledge, before you and Mystra, and say on my word as a Harper."

Silver just chuckles as she coughs on the wine "Hadn't ever notice, been drinkin' this since I was small."

As she continues to talk he just sips a little wine taking it in thinking and making sure to choose his words carefully "No, you have a right to be upset. No one gets to dictate how a situation made you feel. As for failing, last I checked all we lost today was a stone. Selinae is downstairs, now give ya maybe a little sore, but sore is good. Sore means she'll learn from this, sore means you did your job and helped to bring her back." he just gives a smile "Hell ya even saved a wretch like me, could've just left me on the street but you didn't and now I'm here able to talk to you." he pauses for a moment continuing to think about his words "As for that bastard he did it to get in your head. So take it from someone who lives a life like him. He wants to be in your head Phae. He wants to be there because he is afraid of you more than he is of any of us. You wield a weapon that is more powerful than any blade, bow, magic, or Selinae when an obstacle is in her way. You have compassion and an amazing quality to want to see the good in people. That will always scare people, because people like you make people want to change."

For once the familiar cold hard lilac eyes seem soft almost inviting "I have no doubt you'll keep that promise, I've never known a Harper to break one. We'll get him off the street and we'll get the stone back. You're a great healer and you're going to make a good change in Waterdeep. So make a simple promise on top of that one don't stop being the amazing and beautiful person we've all come to know." he just lifts the glass to his lips as finishing the wine and giving her a faint smile as he refills his own glass.

Phaedra looks a little stunned at his words and for a second does well to fight back a few tears as she eyes start to glaze over golden again. But holding onto her holy symbol she regains her composure and takes a more measured sip of her wine.

"I... yes. Yes you are right Silver. I think we have all changed for the better and we are better together. Your kind words prove that and give me strength. And I would always do my best to protect you, just like the others. And now I see that sometime, even I need the help and protection of you all"

"Let's finish this off and rest.  I believe we have a lot to do tomorrow."

Silver just raises a glass "Always down for a good drinking partner. So what shall we talk about for the rest of the night." he asks as a sincere smile creeps across his face with real emotion for once.

Thankfully your night passes calmly and you all awaken, well rested. When you come downstairs you find the usual breakfast spread laid out. Bason and the kids are eating.

Phaedra spends some time chatting with Silver before heading to bed, talking about her aims to end the trouble in Waterdeep.

In the morning when she comes downstairs she is in a much more positive mood, despite the headache. "Hi kids, they Bason. Ohhhh Bason, can I please have something to eat... and maybe tea? I think I had one few to many wines last night."

Selinae came downstairs on slightly unsteady legs and went over and hugged Bason, then each of the kids and finally Phaedra.

She rubbed her temples and gingerly lowered herself onto a sturdy chair, " Thankyou for trying, Phaedra. And for....after...".

She shivered and looked over towards Bason, " .....a little for me too, if thats ok."

Elon wakes to the sound of Bason and the kids doing their usual morning stuff. He makes his way to the counter to find something to drink to get him going for the day.

"Good morning everyone" he says quietly.

 Elon is suprised by the hug but doesn't resist.

"Glad you are still with us" he tells her with a smile and a wink.

As you're all eating breakfast and talking a tiny paper bird flies in and lands in front of Bason where it unfolds into a sheet of paper. Bason reads it, mutters something about a "dern fool" and passes the paper around to the rest of you. The paper says:

Bason, word is the Drow are hiding in Mistshore and can't escape b/c Zhents and Xanathar both know and have lookouts in area. I have a lead on where to find Soluun and am going after him. Have the group find Grinda Garloth. She can help.

Pheadra jumps up.... "Grinda Garloth... does anyone know who that is and where we can find them?"

Kestrell walks downstairs and greets everyone.

"Good morning all!  Serinade, how are you feeling on this fine morning?"

And then pours a coffee and gets a heaping plate of snausages and pancakes.

After reading the paper he responds to Phaedra: "I've never heard of this Gretchen lass.  Let's go find her!"

OOC

History 21 

To see if I know Grinda Garloth and where she may be.

Silver just comes down the stairs making his way to grab his usual apple and glass of rose wine for the morning. He just takes a bite looking around the room “Did I miss anything?” 

Selinae crushes both Kestrell and Silver in turn, then lets out a deeply held breath.

She frowned and tried to think if she had heard of Grinda.

History: 10

OOC: don't forget your dying debuff. Since you've had a long rest it's a -3 penalty to all attack rolls, saving throws, and ability checks

 Kestrell grunts and then grins at the strength of the hug and returns it.

"Well, I have heard of her"

Elon pauses in thought.

"She lives in Mistshore, but be warned, everyone that spoke of her said she is bat-shiite crazy"

 " Kestrell-crazy or Gralhund-crazy?", Selinae smirked, feeling a little more herself again.
