Like fat Prophets, Profits? Profits.

Mariam sucked on her teeth a moment before she nodded, that was settled then, someone was purposely targeting them. Once they figured it out if it was them directly, or some retribution for something the Five had done in the past, well, the could solve that then. It was coming up on the time of year for them to gather, they'd need to examine what the others had been up against lately, see if.. see if any of it matched up. But, what it did let her know was that she had a decision to do something that she should have done, such a long time ago.

Leaning over, she pressed her lips to his, lingering just a moment, there in the ruin -- the world could have come down around them in that moment, but she had too. They had lived through too much in just a brief few hours to let the moment pass her by again, When we get outta here, safe, and in one piece, we're going to finally figure out what this is, got it?

And with that, she leaned over into him, and closed her eyes with an exhausted sigh. I bet it's someone Celine crossed, maybe Eithne, oh.. Eithne. It had to be her, she and Marcellus had been heading down into the south the last time Mariam had gotten a letter from the mage, something about the Blight down there and getting some samples for one thing or another, but the woman had a trail of bodies behind her well before they had ever met. Someone from her past? Knows the connection the five of you have. Mariam had come into the group after, but she never worried about not being part of the group, she had been welcomed in after all, and thinking about all of it helped her not shiver out of her skin at the fact she had just kissed him. Each of these was designed to be a foil to our skill sets. Thankfully, we're just that good.
