The next day they made their way to Sundermount, heading out a little later than they would've liked because of their mother's fussing. She insisted they bring sleeping mats and food for a week despite Lisa ensuring her they would be back before night. Eventually Leandra agreed and the three were able to make the trip to the mountains. They were a beautiful sight with rolling green hills and birds chirping in the trees. It was an immense contrast to the city and Bethany seemed a little more like herself as she picked wildflowers while they walked.

At one point she tied them into a small crown, placing them on her head with a pleased giggle as Isabela smirked. "If you two weren't standing next to one another I swear I wouldn't consider you sisters." It was true. While they both got a long well, Carver and Lisa's personality were more similar than Bethany's. And both the girls took on two different sides of the family. While Carver was a solid mix of both parents, Bethany was a heavy collection of her mother's looks while Lisa took her father's. Neither of them minded, but it normally took people a few minutes before realizing they were related.

"Bethany wasn't allowed to go out and fight like Carver and I," Lisa commented over her shoulder with a chuckle as Bethany scoffed.

"Last time I checked you weren't allowed to do that. Mother always seemed to be scolding you two about it. I still don't understand why you didn't listen to her."

"Because what's fun about following the rules?" Isabela remarked with a chuckle as Bethany scowled.

"Because, Bunny, the majority of attention we got from mother and father was when they were scolding us," Lisa answered without much thought.

"Oh," Bethany instantly looked hurt and turned her gaze to the ground as Lisa grumbled and sighed, realizing how her sister must've taken the comment.

"Bethany…it wasn't meant like that."

"Of course it was, you don't have to hide it," she muttered as Lisa rolled her eyes. She didn't have the patience for this. It was always the same with her; they always had to pity poor Bethany. If anything people should've pitied the other siblings because they had to live with it. They had to work for their parents' attention and even then it normally wasn't anything endearing. Sure, Bethany had to deal with her magic, but Lisa and Carver had to work just to remind the family that they still existed.

Isabela looked between the siblings with a raised brow. "All right…" she dragged out, giving Lisa a sideways look as the woman quickly shifted her eyes away. Sometimes Lisa was so embarrassed with her family. Why couldn't they just be normal?

Thus the rest of the walk was silent with Isabela making an every so often comment that only resulted in only a few grunts to acknowledge that they were listening. Apparently this upset Isabela because when Lisa finally chose to speak she seemed less than pleased. "So we'll just drop of this necklace and then head back to the Hanged Man for a pint?" There was silence as Lisa gave her a sideways look, "Uh…hello?"

"Oh I'm sorry…are you recognizing my existence now?" Lisa frowned.

"What the hell is that supposed to mean?"

"I don't know, whatever you want it to mean," she muttered as Lisa opened her mouth only to close it at the sight of some Dalish hunters.

"Shem, there is nothing for you here, turn back," they warned as Lisa did her best to shrug off Isabela's little disagreement as she held up her hands to show she wasn't armed.

"I actually was sent here to deliver a necklace," she held it out and the two instantly shied away.

"A shem? When the Keeper told us I would've expected another elf. Very well, go on ahead, but do be wary that we're keeping an eye on you." Lisa gave a loose salute and a small nod of her head before shimmying past the two elves.

She'd never been in a Dalish camp before, hardly heard much about them. Her parents spoke of them and she knew the basics, but in terms of their traditions and living she had no idea. All of them were marked on their faces and they all gave Lisa, Isabela, and Bethany scrutinizing looks like they'd done something wrong. Lisa did her best to shrug it off but she could tell that it unnerved Bethany. The girl didn't like being wrong and the fact that she was mage didn't make things easier either.

They made their way through the campsite and up to an older looking elf that seemed to be Keeper-like. She greeted them with friendly sounding elfish words and Lisa simply hoped they meant good tidings. Smiling and bowing her head she held out the necklace only for the Keeper to push it back towards her. "Actually, I was hoping that you would be able to bring it up to an Altar at the top of the mountain to perform an important ritual with it."

"Right…" Lisa remarked with a slow nod of her head. That was how it always seemed to be these days. She'd try to finish something up quickly and it would just end up getting dragged out another few hours. Maybe they wouldn't be making it back in time for supper tonight. "So are you going to show me how to perform this ritual?"

"No, I will be sending you with my First who knows what must be done…and then I must ask you to take her with you."

"Well that's a bit of a tall order," Isabela muttered, crossing her arms over her chest as Lisa agreed with her.

"Does she want to do this?"

"Yes…despite the rest of the clan wanting her to do otherwise, she has made her choice and we must respect that." Again Lisa gave a slow nod before taking the elf's directions and starting their walk up the mountain to meet the Keeper's First.
