There's certainly all number of beasties out there. But normally you... I don't know. Hire someone? Put up some defenses?

[ looks around at all these cabins like and just look and all the walls and barricades I don't see! ]

It is a remote sort of place then?

[flameguard]

I guess so.

[ rondo comes from a line of fight nuts and has a battle butler.

but besides that... ] Mm. It's all cliffs and bluffs, and there's not a lot of tree coverage, either. Our family manor was at the very top of one of the tallest bluffs in Bolderfall, so sometimes my sister and I would sneak out of the window and lay on the roof to look up at the stars.

[haematocritical]

That is the usual way of things. In case that needed saying.

[ hmm. ]

They do say the further you are from larger cities, the clearer the sky is. Baldur's Gate has always been a busy place, so I hadn't really thought about whether I was seeing the sky clearly or not.

[flameguard]

Bolderfall's pretty little, too. Especially compared to the capitol.

[ ah, but, that's a familiar name. ]

Baldur's Gate... is that where you met Karlach, Mr. Astarion?

[haematocritical]

I imagine in your capital you wouldn’t see them anywhere near as quickly.

[ hmmm. ]

No. Although I believe we’re both from there? It doesn’t surprise me our paths didn’t cross though. [ what with him skulking around at night most of the time and her only being born about 201 years after him. ]

Our meeting circumstances were different. Quite a way from Baldur’s Gate as well.

[flameguard]

[ curiously: ]

How did you two meet, then?

[haematocritical]

Well, first of all we all got kidnapped... and then I happened across a nice, young Blade of Frontiers, hellbent on taking down a vicious demon who was terrorising the Sword Coast (Karlach).

He recruited our aid, especially after discovering a certain shared issue we had. But of course, meeting Karlach was a very different matter. The two of them seemed to work things out rather well, despite everything though.
