(IC) On the Road Again....
"Oh, I was hired by the king to go search for you guys and for Wintermist," he replied. "Actually, this hasn't come up so far, but the king did say all contact with you was lost, I wonder if we can send him a message somehow without abandoning our quest, it was a long way going from the city...". When Tyri asks him about his "people", he responds: "I come from a small village in the area of the great swamplands down south. We're mostly Tortles in that village. Simple people, fishers, farmers, growing vegetables... Most are really nice," he says, reminiscing, with a longing look. After a short while, he understands that he's a bit impolite by not asking back, so he also asks: "How about you? What's your story?". It does seem, though, that although the question didn't come to him immediately, it's not because he isn't interested in hearing the answer.
