[after the npc reveal, laudna can be found sitting out near the pyre on her own, with pâté fluttering nearby. she has her long hair hanging down over her face and she's clearly talking to herself out loud.]

...Still nothing from you? How long are you going to give me the silent treatment? You're useless!

[ announcing herself before she takes a few steps closer and looks around the pyre. ]
Were you speaking to someone just now?
no subject
No.
[she's telling the truth. there was no one listening. but her expression just starts to look sad instead of angry and defensive as she looks at her.]
...You're in grave danger.
no subject
What do you mean?
no subject
[her specifically? the general danger that they're in is what she's referring to.]
no subject

no subject
[but that actually puts her a little more at ease.]
I suppose this isn't your first time dealing with people like that.

There are some who have tried to undermine and eliminate me. They failed.
This will fail, too.
[ her voice is firm and tense. but more than that, there's a haze of smoke seemingly coming from her. ]
no subject
[she smiles at that, at that conviction in her voice.]
I won't let them eliminate me, either. [...] You have a little smoke coming off you, you know. Is that something you can do?
no subject
[ the smoke starts to thin out and fade. ]
It comes out when I feel certain emotions. It seems that I don't have much control over it anymore.
no subject
[...]
It's alright. You don't need to reign it in if you don't want. Anger is a powerful emotion in times like these.
no subject
Though I believe it's important to keep our wits about us, too.
