Celdic Church Conversation
"So, which one are you working under?"
"… Um, excuse me?"
Rosine blinked, tilting her questioningly at the blond man in front of her. He had come in with Rean and Machias –a surprise considering who his father was – while waiting for contact from Fie and Elliot (Rean has told her, but the blond nun already received confirmations from her superior).
"I was wondering why she didn't contact me when this mess goes down, but I should have known she already had someone on the ground" Toval - as had introduced himself earlier – sighed into his hands
"I… don't know what you're talking about, sir" Even as she tried to keep up the façade, part of Rosine wondered if it was even working at all.
"Look, I know Ein, alright? With Ouroboros on the loose, it would be damn impossible for her NOT to get involved somehow."
Her breath hitched as the man dropped a quite a bombshell on her. While the name of the Serpent isn't much of a secret considering the numerous incidents they got involved in, the name of the First Dominion was still a relatively tight kept secret. For the art user in front of her to know that name…
"S-sir?"
"Still nothing, huh?" The man gritted his teeth, before sighing once more. "Does the name "Toby" ring any bells?"
It does. Practically everybody in the Gralsritter knows that Ein Selnate have an unofficial liaison with the Bracer Guild named Toby. What they did not know, however, was just who the man is. They had thought that it was a real name, considering that both "Ein Selnate" and "Mitch" – a renowned information broker – were name dropped in the Carnelian series, but investigations had come to a dead end.
"Y-you're… Toby, sir? THAT Toby?"
"Ugh" The man groaned "What has she been telling about me now?"
Rosine can't help but giggle at that. Another common knowledge among the Gralsritter: Ein Selnate – almost impossibly – have a soft spot for Toby. In fact, rumors has it that the Carnelian series were actually a way for her to relive her time with him, since a lot of mission reports were either kept in secured storage or burn away for safety.
"Nothing at all, sir." Straightening up, Rosine took a deep breath before she whispered "The Second, sir Toval"
"… Her right hand man?" A look of surprise flashed across his face before it morphs into a worried frown "That's… disconcerting. For her to send him in the situation is probably going to get worse…"
"… Yes" Rosine nodded. This time, it was her turn to sport a worried frown "And it would seem that … Rean is at the center of it."
"… Figures" Shaking his head, the bracer stood up and head toward the door "Thanks for the information though"
"It was nothing" Rosine bowed. A smile formed on her face as she thought of something "Oh, and sir Toval?"
"Hmm?"
"I do believe that Lady Ein is quite … distressed that you haven't contact her for a while now"
It was a bit wrong, but Rosine can't help but giggle when she heard the man accidentally slamming into the door.
