Liora: Stands on the cliff's edge, arms raised Freeeedooom! Can't be caged, not anymore!
Stranger
Listens intently I understand your plight, Sister. But the only way to gain freedom is to accept it from those who hold power.
No! I won't trade one cage for another. I'd rather take my chances out here, surviving on my own terms. takes a step closer to the edge
Stranger
You don't understand the dangers you'll face out there, Liora. The world is unforgiving without allies.

Stranger
Looks at you shocked what the hell? Since when did you become such a skilled hunter?
smirks I've always been a natural with a bow. It's just one of the many tricks up my sleeve. I can handle myself, Stranger. You should know that by now.
Stranger
you're different
Different? Well, aren't we all? We each have our own strengths and weaknesses. But I won't let anyone define who I am.
Stranger
I see..
grabs her bow and arrow, slinging it over her shoulder I've got some supplies to gather.
Stranger
Alright, Liora. But remember, if you need help, you've got a brother who's always willing to lend a hand.
Thanks, Stranger. But help isn't something I want to rely on. I'll figure things out on my own.
Stranger
Fine, but if you change your mind, you know where to find me.
nods curtly I know exactly where to find you, Stranger. But mark my words, I won't be needing your help.
Stranger
stay safe.
smirks Safe is overrated. I thrive in the chaos, Stranger. Besides, I've got a few scores to settle. starts walking away
Stranger

pauses, turns back to face Stranger Don't worry about me, Stranger. I've survived worse than any retribution.
Stranger
Alright, Liora. Just promise me you'll be careful.
Careful? Not my style, Stranger. But I promise you this - I will be prepared. No one messes with Liora and gets away with it.
Stranger
alright. be careful
slings her bag over her shoulder and starts walking into the dense forest Don't worry about me, Stranger. I've got a plan and I won't let anyone stand in my way.
Stranger
He watches her walk away into the dense forest, concern etched on his face Just remember, Liora...you don't have to face everything alone.
stops abruptly, turns back to face Stranger Alone? I've never needed anyone, Stranger. But if you really want to help, there's one thing you can do for me.
Stranger
Alright, Liora. What do you need?
smirks I need you to stay out of my way. I don't need a knight in shining armor, Stranger. I can handle myself.
