It did seem a lot of people were keen to curry favour with this Witch of the Wilds, but she doubted any of them had a kingdom at stake. The spirit within her seemed to agree, but reminded her that they had a duty to focus on. Not that a spirit of Duty would suggest much else, but there seemed to be some overlap with spirits, as it had also been keen to share its knowledge and experience. Perhaps spirits were more like people than many realised, but she would be very surprised if the southern Chantry had any notion of entertaining the idea!
Hermione made her way into town, taking note of where the others had gone before coming to the door of the local mage's home. At least, the home in which many people said a mage of sorts had taken up residence, but she doubted that they would be so brazen as to risk outing themselves. Still, if these rumours were true, then they were a likely candidate for someone with knowledge about something as elusive and supposedly magical as Frost Flowers.
Unfortunately, when she arrived it seemed that the home was deserted. No matter how much she called out into the darkness, no one answered but a rat, which proceeded to run over her foot! Thankfully, she wasn't afraid of mere rodents, but the creatures sudden appearance still made her jump! It then dawned on her that the mage in question could possibly be a shapeshifter, like the girl who rode in her brothers bag earlier.
By now though, she once again alone in a seemingly abandoned home. Upon asking around outside, it seemed as though the alleged apostate had skipped town to avoid further suspicion. That was disappointing, to say the least, but it couldn't hurt to ask around elsewhere, she supposed.
