Rianne sets down her glass, and says "Well, it was my fault that you died. I was not specific enough in what I told the charmed half-ogre, and so he was able to kill you."

"I ... may have heard some of that. But leaving aside that I should have gotten far better armor [Salvatore's hand reflexively moves to his head, about where the glorified club hit] before then, it was in the heat of battle and what he said was easy to interpret as helpful... But what do you think this has to do with your change...?"

"Well, I suppose I'm not sure what it has to do with it. Though it was when I started to become interested in you," Rianne blushes slightly at saying this.

"... *minor blush* Not quite sure where to go with that... though I have heard of time far less suited to noticing romance than the heat of battle..."

"Well, I had meant when you came back to life. You didn't have to come back, after all, but you did."

"Didn't have to come back? I have a responsibility to do all possible to help bring order and justice to this dying city. Wait, didn't have to? There's a reason you mentioned that... isn't there?"

"Yes, I know now that you do. And I also came back, though I did not need to. I had no reason to return after delivering the Morrowfall and the Totemrix, though I did. I came back partly because I care for this city, and partly for you," Rianne says, draining her glass.

"Caring... one of the most powerful forces in the world. There is almost nothing that it cannot do. I'm ... pleased that you decided to return " *smiles, and drains glass*

Rianne smiles as she says, "As am I." Refilling her glass, she lifts the bottle up and shakes it back and forth a bit; there is little left in it. "...How much have you had Salvatore? I think I may have had too much."

"I didn't keep track, but maybe half of it? My magic belt lets me drink a lot more than a normal person could as a side effect, so I don't really bother tracking it."

"Hmm...I think I should be fine so long as you don't let me fill another glass," Rianne says, drinking some of her wine.

"He was not a very agreeable person from what I could tell...however you knew him longer than I."

"Hmm...his death would be my fault as well...actually, could I have the rest of that?" Rianne says, draining her wine.

"No, Bell's death was my fault. There was always a darkness in him, and long before you joined us, I was working to mend that... I failed, somehow, and he turned to evil. I... there were so many ways he might have been saved, and I failed. The island, and the demons... irrelevant, since he was going to die sometime, anyway."
"As for the wine, I thought you said not to let you have any more?"

"I know what I said, but pour me another glass please. Bell would not have died there if I had not tried to bind that demon. Though I will trust your judgement that Bell would have met his end sooner or later, this does not mean I am not responsible for the circumstances of his death when he died."

"... Very well... *pours cup* If there is ever a day we can likely rest on, I could get some incense to cast an Atonement for you, both for the undead hill giant, and for the demon binding. Though after this mess is over would also work."

"It was not the first undead I animated. Hmm, he did not do a very good job of protecting you," Rianne says as she takes a drink.

"Indeed, not. Undead have a tendency to not be very powerful. Aside from Vampires and Liches, that is, but the adventures through Delvehaven - did anyone tell you about those? - demonstrated that even the dreaded vampire is weak. After all, right makes might."
