Dio nods "that sounds very reasonable yes."
She lets the unasked but clearly mentioned question hang in the air for a moment.
Which house she is from.
They were going on a treacherous path which she had no clue how to navigate. But Despil did.
He seemed reasonable enough.
After a moment Dio speaks up.
"I have not told you because i do not know myself. I have lived a very sheltered life, untill i met my friends. And to say i am only here to seek my friends is not fully the truth, i wouldn't mind some answers. It seems alot of people know more about me then i do myself.
It is frustrating, i have had training with Lord Suhuy, there are bets made around me by a Jurt and Julia. I do seek answers. But for now finding my friends is more important. "
She looks cautiously at Despil. Hoping he won't toss her off the path now.

#s://i~ibb~co/2vbdy2j/ddespilsroom~png "It wouldn't be surprising to bump into Jurt and Julia in Sawall Ways. Jurt is my brother, and Julia is...complicated. Maybe she's my sister-in-law, though, through Jurt or Merlin, I can't say. The three of them enjoy living complicated lives.
"I've heard your name mentioned in overheard bits of conversation over the years. Mixed in with so much other gossip, I never paid it much attention. These are dangerous times where a thousand deaths lurk in every shadow. If Suhuy sent you away, it was probably for your own protection."The walk ends in a bright from with sunken couches. A large window overlooks a sea of icebergs crashing and pulverizing each other. "You can trust me - I have not placed any bets on your survival," he jokes.

"Already met Julia when i arrived at Lord Suhuy's place. As for Jurt haven't met him. Just heard from Jukia they had a bet on me.
As for Lord Suhuy sending me away, i am sure he did jt for protection. But protecting from what? I grew up in a convent. Was taken to Lord Suhuy for training and returned to said convent.
I was very protected there. And they did go through lengths to try ans get me back. But failed.
Maybe i should have returned. Would perhaps have gotten some answers. Although they never gave me answers."
Dio smiles amd shrugs.
"So adventures it is. And making friends! Good to hear you have not placed any bets on my survival. But it makes one wonder, why would they? What is it worth to make bets around me?"
She looks at Despil. "Even if you only overheard. What did you overhear? "

#s://i~ibb~co/HtyfnC2/despil~png "You're from The Convent? I've heard rumours of the place, a hidden scrap of shadow where those whose shapes are awry are taken. I've never heard of anyone escaping the clutches of the mad sisters who run the place.
"Bets are made to entertain, a perverse way of passing through eternity. Those of Amber play in shadow, and we in Choas play with people.
"Just your name. Other things were probably said, but I don't remember. Who was talking?... Lady Lorcas - she's dead. Jenda Chanicut - she's dead too. Preston Stearnwood - dead. I'm sensing a trend here."He thinks for a minute. "Bella Jesby? Yes, I think she mocked you long ago at a little function in Caryx Ways. I could never stand that girl. She might still live if the shadows haven't claimed her."

Dio nods understanding. She looks around.
"Where are we? Are we at your families House?"
Dio looks at Despil
"Well those names say nothing to me. My friend Maeve mentioned some people who might know. Lord Suhuy of course, perhaps her father. But i would need her to find her father. "
Dio smiles a soft smile
"As for the convent and the mad nuns. What i now understand it was not an upbringing a child would want but it is what i got. Been there as an infant. Odd if you ask me. I was not mad as an infant. And obviously not misshapen. I was kept there to work and learn untill my parental.figures would get me.
Even after being trained by Lord Suhuy i was returned to the convent and not picked up. "
Dio shrugs.
"And i think Julia and Jurt know more about me. Why else make a bet on my survival. I heard of other people in Chaos who know alot. Gatherers of information next to Lord Suhuy, a man named Mandor. I know some houses have active info gatherers and spies.
You know any of them?"

#s://i~ibb~co/HtyfnC2/despil~png "I know almost all of them," Despil says with a laugh. "Mandor is another of my brothers. Now you know of the whole set: Mandor, Merlin, Jurt, and me.
"Mandor is usually buried deep in his own Ways, but maybe he will talk with us this turning."He draws out his deck of cards, shuffles out one depicting a man with long white hair, and then concentrates on it.

Dio smiles
"Well, have never met Merlin. Doubt i ever will, with him being King and all. His sister or half sister wanted to set up introductions. But that was advised against. "
Dio curiously looks at the white haired man.
See if she recognizes him or it rings a bell somewhere. But other then that she is silent to let Despil reach out.

#s://i~ibb~co/HtyfnC2/despil~png Despil contacts the man, gives a slight wince, then reaches out his free arm and and wraps it around Dio's shoulders. With the touch, she sees the man from the card sitting in a similar way with Maeve, Mandor's arm also around her friend's shoulder.

Dio almost jumps up.
"Maeve! I've found you! Or you've found me. Eh semantics. How are you?"
Dio smiles big from ear to ear seeing her friend being okey.
"This is Despil. He found me! "

Hearing the word breakfast Dio her stomach begins to audibly growl. She realizes it has been quite a while since she ate.
She looks at Despil. Then at Maeve with Mandor.
"Hope i am not overstepping or being rude. But is it possible for us four to come together? Instead of this.
I was afraid i would never find Maeve or Dirk. And wouldn't that make for easier conversation? "
Dio looks woth hopeful eyes to Mandor and Despil.

OOC: This is a good time to start a new thread for Dio and Mae.
