I recently spoke to the eminently beautiful Miang-Si. Quite the interesting young lady, it seems she is intent on staying young and beautiful forever. More than that, she claims she has been promised a way to do this. That she has a gift she believes can be trained to help reach immortality. An unfortunately familiar goal. As for her potential tutors, she spoke of those who can part waters and speak to ghosts. Perhaps the ladies of the lake? It would fit her sneaking out, I believe. She certainly has some magical potential, although to what end she can be taught I couldn't comment.

Our young mistress also mentioned an old friend of ours. Anui, The Huntress, who as recently mentioned was seen in was these woods. It seems in a fit of vanity Miang-Si sought her out and met her. She was... compelled by her. I'd imagine that speaks to some skill or touch of death on her part.

Interestingly, whoever her potential tutors are want something from her. They did not meet the Huntress as she did, before the local villagers drove her away. I do wonder what they think she knows, or has?

On a more entertaining note, she also appears to be convincing her father to fake his death so she can be more appealing to marry. Apparently, tragically dead parents are fashionable.

My role grants easy access to Miang-Si should anyone further need it.

Perhaps discourage patricide.

Woah, sorry, when did losing a parent become attractive to suitors?

Is it like more attractive to have both parents go, or is it only a one parent type of deal? Curious minds here gotta know.

I suppose it would play nicely for sympathy. Maybe he isn't convinced and she takes a more...direct route. They will keep her in chains a few years from now.

I spoke with her as well, posing as a suitor. The tutors she told you about are almost certainly the ladies of the lake, and I she certainly knows more about them than she told me.

They live in the lake or village, but they don't like it in the forest, according to her. She said that they help the ill and infirm. She also claimed that, despite what everyone says, they aren't working against the village.

[ A lot of this is 'off', but too much is also disturbingly familiar. That's a trend around these parts. ]

How much access, if I may ask?
