"I'll go and ask Dietrich what he knows about where we might find the things Annalise requested... and I'd like us to go to Old Yharnam, too, send Adelaide to the Crow's Nest. Her tremendous power of healing would surely be a boon, and we owe it to her besides. The sooner we get the chalice and fetch the other half of my blessed blade, the better a position we'll be in. It's about time we had some fun in the labyrinth, isn't it, Gerlinde?" Ophelia spoke as she let go of Torquil's hand and gave him a soft smile as she stood up, then turned her gaze back to Farren.

Gaze locked on her as she spoke, Farren nodded slightly, [color=#1A1A3B][b]“Makes sense. Perhaps check with the Crowmother...if only to ensure she won't attack the Lightbe--Adelaide on her approach.”[/b][/color]

Farren's fingers drummed against his thigh for a tick and then he spoke again, [color=#1A1A3B][b]“Perhaps we ought to take a layer less deep within the Interstice of the Labyrinth...before we venture to acquire the Moonblade's twin.”[/b][/color] His words sounded thoughtful, seeming more a suggestion than any sort of decision on her behalf.

"Ah, yes, that's a good point. I shall speak with her too. As for the labyrinth--it and the Interstice are interchangeable terms, dear--we'll see what the Doll has to say. If it seems a bit beyond us, to begin with, then certainly we'll take it easy. We could do with the practice and the echoes both." Ophelia replied.

[color=#1A1A3B][b]“Ah,”[/b][/color] he said as he filed that bit away for later, he'd found that bit rather confusing, so the clarification helped. He paused a moment, fingers playing across the hilt of the sole remaining Effigial Blade of Mercy. [color=#1A1A3B][b]“Indeed, that makes sense enough,”[/b][/color] he nodded idly, as if to himself, before meeting her gaze once more with his azure eyes. [color=#1A1A3B][b]“We'll remain here then, Torquil and I. Perhaps Gerlinde should accompany you, just in case.”[/b][/color] He'd hate for violence to find Ophelia on her lonesome, though he knew she could largely take care of herself...and was immortal besides.

"She's always welcome to, of course, but I can't imagine there'll be any fighting. I'm heading right to the sanctuary and back, after all." Ophelia offered, and moved to the appropriate headstone, ready to leave with or without Gerlinde.

"The Old Labyrinth and the Interstice are not interchangeable, good Hunters," the doll pointed out as soon as there was a lull in the conversation. "The Old Labyrinth exists in the Interstice, but the Interstice is any place where the Waking World and the Nightmare overlap."

"Ah, that makes sense--seems we've both a lesson to learn! Thank you kindly, dear." Ophelia replied, giving the doll a quick curtsey before selecting the 'Crow's Nest' marker.
