Elara: fidgeting with the hem of her jacket W-what do you w-want?
smirks Oh, just delivering a message. Got anything for me to deliver to your father?
quickly composes herself, straightening up N-no, there's no need for that. I've been taking care of myself just fine all these years.
alright, that’s good to hear
crosses arms defensively What's your real purpose here, then? You're not just passing through, are you?
Look, I'm just doing my job. That's all. Got any more questions?
narrows her eyes Fine. If you're not here to cause trouble, then we don't have anything else to say.
I'll leave you alone now. But I'll be back soon.
rolls her eyes Well, make sure it's important this time. I don't want to waste my time on trivial matters. And if you're really serious about this...
Alright, alright. I'll be back with something worth your time. For now, take care, Elara.
leans in closer, whispering If you come back, make sure it's something valuable. I've had enough false leads and dead ends to last a lifetime.
nods Understood. I'll find out what's causing all this commotion in the first place. Take care, Elara.
grabs the Stranger's arm Wait. If you come back, meet me at the old library. The one with the hidden underground tunnels. We can talk there without being disturbed.
lets go of Stranger's arm and takes a deep breath Good. I'll be waiting there. And remember, if you don't show up, it won't be easy to find me again.
paces back and forth, muttering to herself Come on, Stranger. Don't let me down this time. I need answers.
later that day, I return I’m back
looks up at Stranger, eyes filled with anticipation Finally! You've made it back. Let's go inside. I don't have much time.
As Elara and Stranger enter the old library, they accidentally stumble upon a group of dangerous mercenaries who are discussing their next target. Caught off guard, Elara and Stranger must quickly devise a plan to escape safely.
