Adam’s General Thoughts

Why are we wasting time here? We should be finding Gwen. I am sick of these lovebirds always boasting their intimate connection, meanwhile I am stuck with an old man who… no. I shall not go there.

A silence almost deafening drags out in Tarvo’s mind.

Meathead focus! Focus, you fool. Please… do not forget why we are here Tarvo. Mother.

“Tarvo here is with friends. Sariel… Rona… they need me. Kerrick help us find Gwen. Mother. It ok. Do not worry.”

Did he? No. He didn’t. Did he? Tarvo…

Silence

“I didn’t think so.”

Adam’s Thoughts on the group

Arispira

“This meathead needed you here. You loud-mouthed rogue. He is in a place where you would have thrived, he needed you and deep down you knew that. Why did you have to abandon us again.”

“Tarvo does feel abandoned. Again. It ok. Tarvo is ok with it. Tarvo. Ok.”

“You are not. Ok. Tarvo.”

“Tarvo. Ok.”

“Can you hear me? Tarvo…”

“Tarvo. Ok.”

“What am I thinking? You have never heard me. Not once, my simple fool.”

“Tarvo. Ok. Tarvo. Ok. Tarvo. Ok. Tar..”

Kerrick

*“Kerrick keeping me well fed. Great hunter. Teach me many things. Peaceful. That what Gwen smile look like. Th-ank you. Kerrick.”

“What is your true goal here Kerrick? Why are you leading this buffoon around in circles? Are we not here for Gwen! Each second is wasted among these peasants. Your duty is not Rona or Sariel. Not even us. It’s her… it’s always been her, hasn’t it Kerrick? Gwen, the one that got away. However, don’t forget your place. You, Kerrick, are the Dragon Slayer of the West. Use that power. You soft old fool.”

“…

“I thought so.”

Rona

“Tarvo is going to get his hair braided. This makes Tarvo very happy.”

She used to do that. They both did. Happier times for us both, wasn’t it, my simple fool.

“Your kindness, Rona, why do you share it with him? Of all people, you—someone fit to be a true noble—should not be wasting time with a beast, a wild beast at that. He is not a child, he is a killer. If it meant you or us… Tarvo would… Tarvo has… please. Be careful. You remind us of her. Zeds… please, just be careful.”

A moment of pondering between these two minds happens.

“Tarvo will NOT hurt Rona. No more pain for people Tarvo cares about. NO MORE.”

Florien

“Tarvo wish he could be there more. My pirate friend said, ‘ARGH, don’t change for I am a pirate and you are my compass at sea.‘”

“Tarvo, he did not say… you know what, never mind.”

“Tarvo will be a way for you, Sariel. Tarvo knows how to feel lost. He found himself and only himself. Tarvo will help.”

“Moving onto you, Sariel. You look pale. However, today you have peeked my interest, pirate boy, or rather Faust. Who is this fellow people mistake you for? Why does that name ‘Faust’ and your face bring more gravity to the air than gravity itself? The mask you wear, is it slipping with each step you take? You think have concern? No. I am just worried you and your problems will get in my way towards Gwen. Whoever you are. Sariel. I am watching.”

Adam’s Thoughts on specific NPCs

“Still wasting time not talking to anyone who would know anything about Gwen. Useless group.”

“Tarvo know bread lady name. Billie. Heh.”
