Mikey look goes serious for a moment down towards the table. "We can discuss particulars of Glom's captors when we have reconvened with Alfie." Mikey then looks to both Behemoth and Aunna, "as far as this Kressando's person goes," Mikey attempts to hide a look of disgust, "I do not see why we cannot keep a look out for Him."

“Thank you.” She offers a smile to Mikey, then looks between them. “Are either of you familiar with the family? When I went on to ask her, she was quite adamant she was not going to share anything, save for what she already had.”
Taking a sip of her drink, she waits to see if either of them say anything.

Behemoth shrugs and continues enjoying the food, almost to the point of competition with Glom.

Mikey clears his throat, "The Roznar's are a former noble family of waterdeep." Mikey looks down to the table clasping his hands together. "I have heard they are trying to make some sort of return." Mikey looks to Aunna, "Seems venturing into the Undermountain is part of that return."

Aunna gives her full attention to Mikey. Once he finishes, she asks slowly, “And do we like them? Trust them?”
She already knew the answer to the latter... trust nobody, not even after they’ve ‘proven’ themselves. Her brows furrowed a bit considering the group she’s with. After silently chastising herself to be more cautious, she waits to see if Mikey will share anything more.

Mikey runs a hand through his hair, Aunna's questions bring a sense of embarrassment about his own evasiveness. Mikey looks to behemoth before meeting the eye's of Aunna. "The family of Rosznar was ousted from Waterdeep for illegal acts. Mikey's eye flick to Behemoth briefly, "slavery being one of those activities." Mikey lets his words hang in the air for but a moment before continuing, "But I am unsure if Esvele or Kressando bear the same sin's as their Elder family members."

"Slavers!" Behemoth glares at Mikey, "No mercy shall be shown!" He slams a fist down on the table, "Damn, nobles and thier need for 'servants'," he eyes Mikey before turning to Aunna, "Unless this guy can prove without a shadow of doubt he had nothing to do with the slavery his family has committed he will die by my hand," he stabs a chunk of meat on his plate.

Aunna frowns as she considers what Mikey says. At Behemoth's outcry, she looks at him and nods. "I know what you are saying, but it would be unjust to condemn them based on the actions of the family."
Drink still in her hand, she moves it in a small circle making the liquid swirl in the mug, "Some things are forced onto the children that they would not do if given their own choices." Certain memories flash before her eyes as distant screams echo in her ears.
Her mind pushes away the thoughts and tries to draw on the memory of her meeting with Esvele. Usually a good judge of character, or so she thought, Aunna attempts to recall if there was anything suspicious about her. It was evident she was hiding something. Usually, noble blood would speak in abundance about their family, affiliations, and such... But did she, Esvele, seem like she would be villainous..
"Also..." She adds in a bit of a whisper as she looks down into her cup. "I agreed to keep an eye out and help." Clearing her throat, she looks at Behemoth, "And I would appreciate it if you helped me keep my word."

Behemoth waves a dismissive hand at Aunna, "I didn't say I wouldn't help, just know that if this guy has anything linking him to slavery...Well...."

Nodding again, she offers a soft, "Thank you."
She brings the mug to her lips and gulps down the last remaining mouthfuls, giving her two fri... err, companions, time to say anything else on the situation. If they say nothing by the time she sets her cup onto the table, she would continue on to the next topics she wanted to discuss.

Mikey listens quietly during Behemoth's and Aunna's exchange. "Was there anything else Aunna?"

"Yes." Aunna says, then shrugs, "They're just rumors, so I wouldn't put too much faith into it. I did hear from some of the patrons that there is one floor of the dungeon that is made of constructs. One of Halastar's apprentices, Trobriand, made rings in order to control them. We might want to keep a look out in case this might be true."
Looking up, she makes eye contact with a server and holds up her empty mug with a smile. A silent request for more water. "Have either of you heard of of Trobriand?"
"The other," She continues looking at Mikey, "is a favor I'd like to request."
Leaning back, she pulls a velvet pouch from her waist and sets it on the table. "I was wondering if you could identify this? If it is the ashes of someone here, I would like to try and return them to their family."

Mikey has a face of recognition as Aunna mention Trobriand. "I heard that name for the first time if not but a week ago, Halaster apprentice and his constructs. Sounds immensely curious doesn't it?" As Aunna brings the ashes to the table he vaguely recollects seeing them days earlier. In a hushed tone, eyes closed Mikey offers a small prayer to his god, "Gond, grant me thy Artisans sight."

Mikey continues to speak as he looks at the ashes, "I cannot identify these in depth currently, my pack with a required component is currently in the room I have rented at the yawning portal."

"Very curious. I wish we could get more information..." She wondered to herself if Alfie would know anything about it, making a point to make sure she asks him.
"If you don't mind looking into it after dinner, I can head back with you. I'm also staying at the Yawning Portal."

Mikey eyes alight with a soft blue glow from the spell move to Behemoth as turns to face the large man. "Would you like to join us Behemoth, I plan on talking to those bone we found!" Mikey moves his vision back to the ashes as he tries to refocus on the task at hand.

Mikey With Gond granting you magical sight, you pay close attention to the small velvet pouch that Aunna produced. You can clearly tell there is a magical aura that comes from within the bag, giving off an aura of illusion.

Behemoth shrugs as he continues to dig into his food and eyeing the others plates for leftovers

Mikey looks to Aunna with a more genuine smile, "Seems these ashes of yours are magical within the realm of illusion." Mikey looks down at the bag curiously "Would be strange for someone to enchant someones ashes but not out of the realm of possibility from what we have seen." Mikey takes one last large bite of food before sliding it between glom and Behemoth.

Behemoth glares at glom, looks to Mikey, grins and splits the leftovers evenly between himself and Glom.

"You're right. It would be odd." She watches as Mikey places the food between Glom and Behemoth. Seeing Behemoth's actions made her smile. Noticing the smile, she quickly drops it and looks back towards Mikey. "I guess we'll leave when they're done eating?"
