Raen, having heard some commotion from the house but just witnessing a weird humanoid-like Jurgen rushed outside comes in the house, concerned. After things settled he turned to the others and asked: "What happened to Juergin? Is he cursed? The little ones seemed fine to me... peculiar, but fine. Yet, I see madam Charlotte has had some grievances with them in the past."
To Thom he says "Goodevening, I'm Raen. I wished I've met you under better circumstances". To Charlotte he says. "If I may ask, when and how did you meet Juergin?"
''I met Juergin on the isle of Gauntcliff, where my old boss, Master Sancerre, had moved after his daughter Evangeline was murdered."
She sniffles, cuddling her baby closer still.
"He seemed like a normal boy, but sad. Something about Gauntcliff changed him. It looked safe, pretty. But it isn't safe, or wasn't. Something evil slept there, and my husband and his friends woke that thing up when they went exploring. Or maybe Denys Sancerre got its attention when he built his new house? I'm not sure. But this thing, it was like a shadow-ghost. The little clowns served this night-thing. They called it Dodds. It took children. It sent them to steal my Jonas. Benn and his friends stopped it, but..."
She wipes her eyes with her left hand, still cradling Tilda.
"My husband nearly died. Our friend Everline went crazy after Dodds' geist attacked her in her dreams. She's still locked up in Saulbridge Aslyum, the Lady help her. She won't take visitors and she never writes back. And Juergin, well, something strange happened to him after the shipwreck that brought Lorna. The Mists came down and no one could escape Gauntcliff. I think the Mists touched him, cursed him. I think he did something horrible and he was marked for it, but..."
She glances at Thom,
'Thom, you can tell some more, yes? I mean, the parts you were there for. When Benn and Dorgio come home, I'm sure they will explain the stuff I don't understand."
