"Long journey." How many times did Yngvi make that journey because like it or not Eleanor, they always stopped off at the Holdings, always stretched their legs and Yngvi got into every sort of mischief to make Aura laugh because she was always such a bright-eyed girl. "Last I went to Kirkwall…saw one of the ash wraith things three times the size of me, just sort of swaying in the street. Did you know there are folk what worship them statues that came to life?"

That's a lie. But Yngvi makes it sound so very real the way he says it, a feverish whisper with his big dark eyes. Gives himself goosebumps and all so he does.
