It helps, yeah. Even if half the time you're trying to convince them to stop being a bloody stick in the mud and get on with it. [ fondly ] Especially when you're in a place like Kirkwall where you can't trust easily or your body will simply be thrown off the docks at some point.
You get it! [yeah!!!!] Midgar's...not exactly the nicest place either, so I get it. And we have to be really careful while we're traveling now. But I think you can get them to loosen up a little when they're outnumbered.
It's quite the sight when they finally let go and tell their morals to sod off in the face of danger. I've a friend in the city guard, Avaline who's almost the same way. She's usually the first to tell me if I'm straying too far away from being law abiding but occasionally, that doesn't equal doing what is right.
I don't think it's wrong to want to follow the law, really, but when you know the law's wrong you can't hold back from doing something to change it. At least she's a little flexible. That has to count for something.
It's certainly a relief when it's on request from the guards. Other times, however, it's truly just 'Avaline might you look at the wall over there so I can break down the door' or 'Avaline could you please make sure none of the guards patrol this way so I can do a bit of a stab in peace' while she stares at me like she'd truly be doing the world a favor by running me through.

but this is a w0 friday thread, so she does look back and the posters with a sigh.]
Who knows? Maybe doing things against the grain will help us figure out what happens next. All we can do is keep looking for answers.
[they know not of trials at this time.]

You'll probably need to bribe her with a headache solvent first but it's possible. [ she probably shouldn't sound so weheh about that ]
If I've learned anything in my years of adventuring, doing what they want usually goes worse than everyone thinks at least, so that's one.

Guess that's fair enough. [to both things...] ...think we should split up and keep looking for ways to fix this then?

For the best perhaps. Chattering certainly isn't getting us any further. [ we'll be here all night goes distinctly unsaid ]
