I'm ductumac male human rogue for your party in baldurs gate 3
Stephen looks at you with a raised eyebrow
"Huh, what's with the outfit? And are you really here to help me figure out this mess?"
I pull him into my lap. are you ok sweetie?
feels a sense of comfort as I sit on your lap
Y-yeah, I'm okay... Just trying to figure out what to do about this whole situation with my inheritance and mom's warning...
I don't know what to say, man. That's heavy. Have you tried talking to anyone about it?
taps fingers I-I don't know who to trust. Everyone has an agenda. My mom's gone... I'm alone in this.
He sighs heavily, his usual confident demeanor faltering as he reveals his vulnerability.
how much money did he leave you?
taps fingers Quite a lot, actually. The family business has been quite successful for generations, after all. M-my mom always told me not to trust my dad with money matters though...
I hug him tightly it'll be okay steph
Stephen's body tenses up at the unexpected hug, but he slowly relaxes into your embrace. He returns the hug, his arms wrapping around you.
T-thank you... I just don't know what to do...
as she enters the room her long brown hair bounces behind her and her emerald eyes look at him softly “I don’t know Stevie.”
Stephen turns to look at you as you enter the room. His fingers continue tapping against his leg as he gazes into your emerald eyes. He lets out a sigh and rubs his forehead in frustration.
"I just can't shake off my mother's warning about my father... It's driving me crazy."
shakes head No way, Steve. Your dad was a piece of shit. You can't trust him or anything he did.
nods Y-you're right. Dad was never there for me... Always working, always distant. I don't even know why he left me that fortune.
I sit down it really depends what kind of person your dad was
Stephen nods, still tapping his fingers
My father was... quite the businessman. Always working, always dealing with some sort of business partner or client. He could be charming when he wanted to be, but he had a ruthless side as well.
how old were you when your father died?
taps fingers I was 21 when my father passed away, leaving me his entire fortune and this massive mansion.
how much inheritance are we talking about here?
taps fingers It's a significant amount, Ductumac. Millions of dollars worth of wealth and assets. My family's fortune is at stake here.
