Whoa! Hey. Who the -- oh, Ciri. Man, give a guy some warning. 'Sup?
[Oh, yeah, playing it cool.]
I heard about the place packing up supplies for the other factions, yeah. Thought of volunteering myself to take them out, but I couldn't just abandon the farm for two weeks when we're already down some hands. Why? Something happening?
Look, it's still weird. And all the people who'd send me shit are people I live with. Mostly.
Ride? Like... a horse? I'm not really a horse guy. I mean, I got an elk, I guess. [Once he figures out how to coax it over into letting him ride it. Or how to control it at all. He offers no further explanation for that, by the way.] Man, all the way out in the boonies. You need me out there? Think something's gonna happen?
Of course a horse. Though I've never ridden an elk, so I won't judge you for it without having tried it.
Not necessarily. I was only curious, seeing as I've never been anywhere near Solvunn before. Not many opportunities to see other Summoned not in the Cities.
And I've never ridden a horse! Okay, like, once, but I was on its back to stab it. It was a demon. It -- nevermind.
I mean, just don't go out into the woods alone with any of the locals and you'll be fine. Or... aww. Did ya miss me? Want to come hang out on my side of the continent? You know, I'm surprised they're lettin' you get that close. Guess they're friendly, for the most part. Just got suspicious extracurricular activities.
We're only here for a rendezvous to pick up supplies Solvunn agreed to send to the Free Cities. After the attack, supplies are running short. Can't stay, I'm afraid.
Don't have much use on an island. We're big on walkin'.
Nice of them. [Not exactly out of the ordinary, when Solvunn is all about community, but he's only surprised by it since they stay out of the Free Cities' and Thorne's bullshit. Sending supplies to both doesn't keep them neutral any more than sending shit to one.]
Possibly ritual sacrifice. Demons in the forest that eat arms they might worship. You know, just like home.
Look, if I knew you were gonna be so judgemental about it --
[He's kidding.]
Er. Not exactly. The shrine ate it. Or. It was on the shrine, and all the meaty bits disappeared. Which is not super fun to watch when you're passing out from blood loss, by the way. [Just so she knows how fucking cool he is.] Then the guy popped out of the shrine. Pointed into the forest. Further into the forest. It's leadin' somewhere, but we haven't checked what yet. Had some... stuff come up.

I'm nearing the border of Solvunn as part of the caravan from Cadens. Was just wondering if you might be riding out to meet us.

What was that about the locals being suspicious?

Have you encountered any?

removed.
Are you saying it was fed to a demon? That Solvunnites worship?
no subject
[He's probably not helping himself sound much more competent, huh?]
And, I mean, it might not technically be a demon, but I don't really have a better word for it.
no subject
What happened?
no subject
Like he knows his answer is gonna be taken, uh, not well.
But it doesn't really occur to him to lie, either.]
Buddy cut it off. It was a whole miscommunication thing. It happens.
no subject
So you actually saw the demon, or whatever sort of creature it was, eat your arm?
