A woman who claimed to be a friend of the Countess who was pretty troubled with whatever's going on.

[fleurescence]

...Troubled how, exactly?

[I know we're solving a murder mystery here but there seem to be other agendas in the works]

[bondsofsuffering]

...With the fact that as things are going now, a lot of people are going to die.

[fleurescence]

That is very troubling! Who's in danger right now, did she say?

[bondsofsuffering]

Apparently there's been a lot of refugees streaming out of the city recently, and their access to water from the canal has been blocked as a warning.

[fleurescence]

[...Good thing I traded in 'the canal's must flow']

That's awful! Then we should go see the canals.

[bondsofsuffering]

Do you know if there's a way to get to them from here? I haven't looked around too much yet.

[fleurescence]

[Shakes her head]

Did the Countess' friend not say?

[bondsofsuffering]

No. I was just trying to get her to talk to me, so she assumed I already knew everything and didn't elaborate.

[fleurescence]

I could try asking her. Or we could go looking? Someone else could point us in the right direction.

[bondsofsuffering]

It's her, if you're looking to ask.

[Nodding at the woman in particular.]

She thought she was close friends with the Countess until the Countess' recent activities, so there's probably all sorts of things she could know.
