Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)
Helena thought hard for a moment, rubbing her chin. "Strange things have been happening, for example! I was robbed on the street in broad daylight and had to deal with it myself as no one would lift a finger in the name of justice. There was the odd incident just recently with all the love making happening for no reason and all the misery that caused us, and now, there's a priest in our room as our guest, acting rudely. As for what I know about any of this or how it came about, I know of nothing apart from whispers on the street of witchcraft and demons, neither of which I've ever given much creed to. If you're curious as to how we make our way, and think it underhanded, I keep large pet spiders, a skill I picked up from my homeland and my family, and sell the silk as a valuable commodity to tailors for rope, bandages, and clothing. I also hunt when I have the time and the patience and when the stressful process of gathering silk doesn't take up the brunt of my time." Helena said, her voice growing colder with every passing moment, her eyes locked on the priests.
It was clear that Helena was losing her patience, and quickly, with the nature of the priest standing in the room and his accusatory nature, but rather then continue her tirade, she bit her tongue and waited. What she had said had all been true, granted with certain facts omitted, but true nonetheless. She did hunt, but she hadn't said what, and she did keep pet spiders and collect the silk. The task of doing so was stressful in that she either had to climb to the roof, or risk being seen flying, and what the silk was used for, she had no real idea, but could guess at the various uses of the silk and the value it held.
