"Oh, I couldn't wager on why the Night's Watch would have invited me." Charlotte replied. She paused and looked into the man's eyes knowlingly as she took another a drink of her own port. 

She offered Aleyn a sympathic nod before continuing, "Although, I too have experienced the unbelievable, and, if Mr. Temple's story is true, that may just be why."

"I see, then that is could be the common thread that got us invited here." Aleyn at first went to take another sip of port but decided halfway not to and put his glass back on the table.

"More so when we find the culprit who killed those poor souls and it turns out to be something not mundane. Aleyn took a long pause as he eyed his port before continuing. "As long it is not like my encounter.... then I suppose it will be fine."

"And what if it is, Mister Deyne," Charlotte asked with a raised eyebrow. "What are we in for then?"

Aleyn gave Charlotte a long emotionless stare before taking another long sip from his port and talking in a cautious tone. "My encounter left me barely alive and...." Charlotte could feel the pain in his voice. "Well,  people I knew died that day and I still have the scars to remember it. If we face the same level of brutish force then I would carry a weapon on you and listen to what Temple says. Since I feel he has more experience and may know what to do once we find who or what is killing people."

Charlotte looked away from the man for a moment. "My God," she answered, "Such a tragedy. Forgive me, I did not know."

Aleyn took a long sigh before looking at Charlotte in the eyes. "You were not meant to know so I do not blame you. It is not like I spoke about it before and do not worry about that. Just remember that we should be.... careful so to not lose anyone." 

This time Aleyn went for his port and took another long sip. "Again, just be careful and do not get cocky."

"I see. We should certainly try our best to stay rational."  Charlotte said. "Do you plan on joining Mister Rudeanu's little outing?"

"I do not think so, I would rather begin this investigation with everyone else since I am not used to these sorts of things." Aleyn raised his brow, "What about you?"

"I am not joining him tonight either," Charlotte replied. "There are too many NSDAP and Freikorp thugs for me to be out at night hunting for God knows what in small groups."
