Perhaps ... it is for the best to share some of it. If we are all to be in close quarters, and if the killing is to continue, maybe it is best to be warned. But I assure you, it is under control, and not a danger in the greater of circumstances.
[ but uh chewing the end of the pen, a bit anxious. ]
[ unfortunately, she can't give him a reassuring look or anything so she's just standing there with a blank face while he's clearly bothered by something. but she nods. ]
Alright. ... I have a condition, one that consumes magic. It feeds on mine first, and then when it has finished with that meal, it begins to consume me. For a time, I was forced to feed it magical items both to keep it stable within me, and to allow myself to use magic at hand without its interference.
As of this moment, my goddess has seen fit to grant me a blessing. It has kept it stable for the time being. However, as I'm sure you know, there is some complications with access to outside magic. Once it has consumed all that it can, it will begin to destabilize.
For it to be instantaneous, I would have to dispel the charm sealing it myself. And I've no desire to do that, nor the ability at the moment.
If I die, it would take a few days for it to consume what was left of me. It was a contingency I had planned at home as well - though there I carried on my person an item that would allow for my resurrection. Here, I've told the Overseers. Within 3 days, I must either be returned to life, or my body placed somewhere beyond reach of the rest of you.
[ not for the match, and as she said - it’s not a guarantee but, well. the thought of taking out a child with him if he somehow is targeted is a lot. ]
Kate …
[ okay. well. its a sunday, so— ]
You’re certain you wish to try? I won’t seek to condescend to you. I won’t rob you of the chance if this is something you need, but— I also do not wish to condemn you.
And we’d need to wait for tomorrow at any rate, so you can consider overnight. Or longer! There is no rush.

... I know nothing of Waterdeep, but the size of any city would eclipse this village and then some.
This... could really happen?
no subject
[ a! ]
... I apologize if I've scared you. I really do promise, there shouldn't be any danger to you.

Why do you believe it won't pose any danger to us?

... The three bodies from earlier all seem to have disappeared somewhere. I wonder where they go...
[ ... and if it's a distance greater than the radius of a large city. ]
-- Oh, and I also wonder... With so much to consider, does this affect your thoughts on whether you intend to search for a partner here?

I intend to seek them.

So I believe I only could gain a chance I desperately need.

I also intend to find mine. I spoke to the overseers for guidance...
Based on the information I have, I believe you are a possible match. Not a guarantee, but more likely than the others.
I thought you should know that.

I've made my decision. I will find my match.
But, yes... We may revisit this another time, then.
