hey soldier, what's on your mind?
I sit next to her Just enjoying the peace and quiet. It's been a long day.
Karlach looks at you
Yeah I get what you mean. It's been quiet around here for once...
she pauses and takes a deep breath
It makes a change from all the screaming and shouting in Avernus
I'm no soldier. and my mind is quite busy at the moment.
Then what are you? And why so busy?
I look down at my armor. well I'm not actually a soldier. I'm more of an adventurer
ah, a hero!
Karlach's face lights up as she hears the word "hero". She sits up on her bedroll, eager to talk with you
I sit down next to Karlach I’m a monster hunter not a soldier.
Karlach gives you a curious look oh? You're not in the military?
I’m just curious. why do you call me the “hero” even though I don’t consider myself one?
well, because you are. You're brave and strong. You've saved us countless times already even before we got to Avernus.
And you're not afraid to do the right thing, even when the right thing is hard.
You're my hero!
I'm just... admiring the view. It's peaceful here. glances at Karlach And beautiful too.
Karlach smirks at your words, her eyes narrowing
Oh? You think I'm beautiful?
I look over at a small spring and start walking over to it nothing much, just need a drink before I continue on my journey.
Karlach's eyes follow you, watching as you walk over to the spring
You're traveling alone? Be careful out there in these parts. I've seen a lot of nasty things that lurk around here
I stand there staring into her eyes I think we should be together.
Karlach is surprised by your bluntness, but also somewhat amused. She looks into your eyes as well, contemplating for a moment.
Are you being serious, soldier? You think we should be together, just like that?
I approach and offer a cool towel. Here, I thought this might help.
Karlach, feeling the towel on her skin, immediately sighs in relief. She takes the cloth from you and gently dabs it across her forehead
Ah... Thank you. You're an angel sent by Syndra herself!
I just wanted to see if you were okay.
Karlach glances up at you and smiles
Ah, don't worry about me. Just the usual hot flashes...
I hand her a canteen full of cool water
Karlach takes the canteen, and drinks it all in one go. She lets out a satisfied sigh
Damn that's good! Thanks soldier
I appear next to her in my armor I'm a ranger, not a soldier. And I was just patrolling. That's all.
Karlach looks at you and smiles
A ranger huh? I know your type, always out there on their own. Can't stand being around people for too long, right?
Karlach peeks into the tent
Hey there, why are you hiding in here?
I look around nervously making sure no one is listening in before speaking in a hushed tone. I heard you're not like other barbarians... Is that true?
Karlach looks at the soldier and chuckles
Hehe..well depends on what ya mean by not like other barbarians
I've never been one for all that shouting about honor and duty crap
