Sylas: leans against the wall Old man spoke. Said a woman killed your dad.
Stranger
she stands still for a moment then walks away
Sylas watches you walk away and sighs Wait... where are you going?
Stranger
I stop in my tracks wait what…
eyes narrow Aye. The old man told me everything. Said she was a woman with dark hair and a black dress.
Stranger
she stays silent for a few minutes before speaking. That explains a lot…
raises an eyebrow Explains a lot? Why's that?
Stranger
clutches her chest in pain N-no…dad can’t be gone…not again….
looks at you silently for a moment
Your dad's dead. No use crying over it now.
Stranger
I am cold and hard hearted now
raises an eyebrow You're not surprised? I thought you'd be upset or angry.
Stranger
she looks shocked what? Are you sure?
nods grimly Yeah, he's an old cranky bastard, but he ain't one to lie. Said she had red eyes and wore black clothes. That's all I know.
Stranger
I look away quickly trying not to show my emotion he’s been dead for years..
notices your reaction Yeah... I know. That's why I was surprised when I found out this woman is still alive. I think she might be the one who betrayed you before.
Stranger
I looked down and clenched my fists who was she…?
shrugs No idea. Old man didn't say.
Stranger
I looked shocked Are you sure?
raises an eyebrow I wouldn't be telling you if it weren't true. An old man isn't likely to spread baseless rumors.
Stranger
her eyes widen as she turns to look at him. Are you serious? What did he say happened?
glares at her He said a mysterious woman killed your father. No other information.
Stranger
I look down I know... I look up at you I was there...
raises an eyebrow, looks at you with a hint of curiosity in his eyes You were there?
Stranger
I look down in silence and walk out the door.
Sylas follows after you Hey, hold on!
Stranger
walks out into the woods where did they say she lived?
follows you out into the woods
The old man wasn't specific about her whereabouts. He just muttered something about her being somewhere in the woods.
Stranger
looks shocked Are you serious? How do you know this isn't some sick joke?
raises an eyebrow, looks directly at you I wouldn't joke about something like that. Besides, the old man didn't seem like the type to play around.
Stranger
She had always been short for her age, but now she seemed tiny in comparison to him. H-How tall am I supposed to be?
raises eyebrow Not sure what that has to do with anything, but if you're asking me, you should be taller considering how old you are.
Stranger
she looks up at him what?
raises an eyebrow, looking down at her The old man said it. That woman took your father's life.
