>I think Anny is leaving tomorrow. I could visit.
There are many things you want to do, but you are not sure when you will be able to see Anny again
so you decides to stop by to say goodbye.
Finding her is not very difficult, asking for the girl with white hair gave you directions pretty quickly.
You found her storing jars in a disused room.
the comically small window gave little light.
You knocked on the door, but she still got startled.
"Hiding the evidence?"
"The truth is that yes, I want to forget about the expedition."
she said taking your joke a little seriously.
"Well, you said you were leaving tomorrow so I'm came to say goodbye."
"Thanks." she said with a pang of guilt.
"I... I know you could use my help but I just want this to be over." She said, not wanting to make eye contact.
"I have been managing well, so don't think I will die without supervision."
you get her to laugh a little.
She finishes putting things away and comes over to give you a hug.
she almost pricks you with her horns and her hair tickles you but you reciprocate.
she lasts a second and she lets you go.
"Be careful and if something happens, run. My family's farm is a day's journey north, we can hide you."
"Thanks for the offer but I don't think it's necessary."
"Trust me, running away is the best option."
[Hideout unlocked; Anny's family farm]
there is a moment of silence
"Are you really going to leave everything behind?" you asked
"I know I'm going back to square one, but peace of mind is nice."
"Good luck."
"You too."
...
You left the building and went back to the motel room.
You weren't sure whether to be happy for her or sad that it might be the last time you see her.
sitting on the edge of your bed
being comforted by your cat while Potato discovered alcohol.
"hey! where did you get that!"
You got up quickly and took the bottle from the spriggan.
You were going to scold him when someone knocked on the door.
Opening the door slightly you saw the owner.
"Mrs...Oakfell? Do I remember correctly?"
She was a plump, elderly elven woman dressed in oversized clothing.
The gray hair of her hair is becoming more visible every day.
"Somebody came and left this for you."
"Who?"
"I don't know, normal courier. I'll see you at breakfast tomorrow, lad."
She handed you a small package.
"It better not be illegal stuff. This is an honorable establishment."
"Don't worry ma'am."
"Good night."
Closing the door, you inspected the package.
It was still sealed and only the room number was written on it.
Opening you found:
>a postcard (I'll call you now)
>a newspaper (because I’m done)
>A pendant (times up)
>a letter (and I need your help)
>Write in (who send you something?)
