Amat Victoria Curam

Actually... he's pretty sure none of the crazy murder-ladies at the castle would. They don't seem like the tropical fruit types.

"Just the low, low price of the four lords?" Ethan doesn't consider himself the murderous type. He did what he needed to for the Bakers, but that was supposed to be once in a lifetime nightmare. Now? He sighs and nods his head. "They've got my daughter and I doubt I'll be able to just ask nicely to get her back. I don't wanna keep the remains anyways; of course I'll bring them to you.

"I'll accept anything you're willing to give," he says. "Though I do have faith that you'll fulfill the quest soon enough. I see great acts of heroism in your future, Mr. Winters."

The Duke puts the crystal down and finally starts the long task of putting all of his rings back on.

He puts them aside for now.

After a second, he cracks a smile.

"Yeah, that would be great." Inside sounds much warmer than their snowy surroundings. Probably more-so for the Duke if he only just finished his shower.

He slides the sniper rifle from his shoulder, smiling slightly. It's probably seen better days, but considering he found it in the attic of a castle, he's lucky it's modern and as good as it is. "I was wondering if there was anything you could do for this. I keep having to adjust to the left when I use it." He's been able to deal with it so far, but he's not exactly an expert marksman. "I have, hold on-"

"It will more than cover it, I think." The Duke braces himself against the side of the caravan and stands, adjusting the robe again once he's up- not that there's any real danger of flashing Ethan.
