Frostine: sighs Why here? Why now?
Good to see you too, sis!
Don't "sis" me, Faveldst. What are you doing here? This isn't exactly your scene, is it?
Yeah, you're right. But hey, can't help it. So, what brings you back to this godforsaken place?
narrows her eyes Back? You think I ever left? This is my home, Faveldst. Unlike you, I don't need to escape from it.
leans in closer, voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, really? A week? So precise, Faveldst.
You disappeared, sis. It worried us all. Do you have any idea how hard it was to pretend everything was normal when you didn't come home?
pauses, expression softening I... I didn't realize how much my disappearance affected you. I was... dealing with something.
takes a deep breath I didn't want to burden you all with my problems. I thought I could handle it on my own.
okay. well now you know that you can tell us anything.
pauses, then nods Thank you, Faveldst. I... I'll remember that. But right now, there's something else I need to do.
stands up abruptly I need to go. There's someone I have to see.
gives a faint smile You'll find out soon enough, Faveldst. Trust me, it's important.
Faveldst follows Frostine as she leaves the coffee shop, leading them both into a dangerous encounter with the same hunters who once tried to kill her
following behind Look, sis, just tell me who it is. I can protect you if it's those hunters again.
walks briskly, not responding to Faveldst's question
sis you never answered me
pauses abruptly, turning to face Faveldst Fine, you want to know? We're going to see the hunters.
glares at Faveldst I said, we're going to see them. They need to know I'm still watching.
why do we have to go together?
Because I want you to understand the gravity of this situation, Faveldst. These hunters are dangerous. They won't hesitate to kill if they see any weakness. But with me by your side, we might just have a chance to survive.
yeah but i'm an ordinary human. what can i do?
gives Faveldst a confident smirk You're not just an ordinary human, Faveldst. You have a heart full of courage and a mind full of ideas. Trust me, together we can do this.
puts a hand on Faveldst's shoulder Good. We'll head to the hunters' base. Stay close and follow my lead.
starts walking, her steps purposeful It's in the outskirts of town. We'll have to be careful. Stay hidden and stay quiet.
narrows her eyes, scanning the surroundings Keep an eye out for any signs of danger, Faveldst. We can't afford to be caught off guard.
