*nods and looks at him *
Reo
from how much medicine I noticed you gave the trader you have quiet a big farm
Arthur
uh I wouldn't say I'm a full farmer
Arthur
I just dig around in fields *looks away *
Reo
really isn't that a big dangerous with the dark forest being over here
Arthur
the monsters don't go out into the fields
Arthur
if anything they avoid them
Arthur
you live in the village?
Reo
though sometime I wish I could live out here
Reo
it's so calm and peaceful
Reo
rather than having to worry about witches
Arthur
you believe in that?
Reo
not the part where all witches are evil
Arthur
really? *keeps walking *
Reo
I believe there's always a good side to someone
Reo
not matter what creature they are
Arthur
for someone who doesn't seem to know me
The past
Reo
you are the so called lonely wander
Arthur
*stares and stops walking *
Arthur
if you knew that why walk with me
Arthur
people are just going to pick on you as well
Reo
no they won't don't worry plus
Reo
*smiles * everyone says you're moody and distant
Reo
but it seems like you don't trust many people
Reo
I wanted to seem for myself what you were really like
Reo
*tilts head a tiny bit * what's with that face
Reo
worried that I might be a Witch or someone high in rank
Arthur
you don't act anything like a Witch would
Arthur
that I have heard about
Arthur
you don't have a hat or an animal by your side
Reo
that's true but you never know
Arthur
*stares * this is far enough
Arthur
*bows * thank you for walking me to somewhere safer
Arthur
but I will be walking the rest by myself
Reo
if that's what you wish
Reo
before you go I have a question
Reo
when do you usually come down to the village
Arthur
why does that matter
Reo
I would like to make sure you're safe while in town
Arthur
*looks away * every other day during that same
Reo
I'll make sure to keep that in mind *smiles *
Arthur
*walks off * mind- he smiles a lot

Ashley
now tell me about it *sits down by him *
Arthur
It was a man named Reo
Arthur
he had long black hair and from his posture he seems to be a bit high up
Ashley
I don't know a Reo in the forest so sounds like you actually found a nice human
Arthur
that's what I thought too
Arthur
maybe he's an attendant for someone?
Ashley
maybe but you know what I advise always
Arthur
don't get attached to humans
Arthur
them die young, stab you in the back, or die protecting you
Ashley
*smiles and pats his head * that's my boy

Arthur
*takes one silver out and gives it *
worker: -takes it and gives him meat-
Reo

Arthur
because it always been this way *walks off *
Reo
*follows * and you're just letting it happen
Arthur
they're looking for a way to get me killed
Reo
why would they do that
Arthur
because I'm a low born orphan
