Gently, she balances the small shard on the blade of her knife and breathes out an unsteady breath of air. She's seen the Red Templars with engorged veins burning red against their pale faces and she's seen others with large pieces growing from their bodies. Obviously it could grow inside people but why someone like this? They didn't look like a Templar that was overcome by the red lyrium infection inside them and needing a place like this...?
"Maker's fucking breath." She didn't want to believe but what else could they be down here for? A fucking cave with cells filled with mundane trinkets and children's books. The Red Templars likely couldn't harvest the red lyrium from their own until death and when you need so much that having it literally breaking through the earth isn't enough... then what else could you do besides make yourself a farm?
Thankfully, Inessa's voice is enough to break her away from her building anger and she hurriedly moves to stand.
"I... I'm fine! Do you have an empty vial that I can use, I found something." She doesn't think to wipe her hands off before leaving the cell but she's more concerned in making sure they don't lose the shard balanced on the blade of her knife.
