Torrad, Anna, and Nolegs all get back home, Anna getting the door for them as they all filed in. Torrad sets down the firewood with a loud clatter, the sound of wood hitting wood filling the bungalow. “That should be enough to last ye a long while, Anna.” He says, looking up at his sister.
Anna smiles and gathers up many leather sacks filled with meats, vegetables, and grain. “Now that you’re here, I’m going to head to the market,” She says to him, “We need to get a bit more coin in.”
Torrad gives a nod, petting Nolegs as Anna takes her leave. He goes outside and continues his work the crops, tending to them while Nolegs kept watch…
Anna got into the market district, finding a good spot to spread her many wares. “Raw meats, cooked meats, some fish, grain, potatoes, carrots…” She continues the list of things she found in the bags.

Faye feels her body slam into the wall, her eyes widening in pain and fear as it all went down. She heard Geralt’s message, but her datapad was flung to her chest as well, her pistol clinging to her hand. She felt all of the blood in her body rush to a concentrated point, her vision starting to fade, her sense of hearing going to silence, and her tongue only tasting iron…her eyes close as she passes out…

Torrad waves and takes his leave, heading back to his home, “Goodbye, friends. See you another day!” He walks off and Nolegs catches up to him, barking, “Ah, there you are girl.” He pets her briefly and walks with her.
Anna looks at the two, “Well, thank you again. I best be going.” She says, nodding, “It was nice meeting you two.” She starts for the door, opening it

Torrad smiles at the few, “I was simply guiding Swarine through the village. She’s not from here, so I aided her in her exploration.” Anna nods at Swarine and smirks, “You remind me of someone I knew once…what was her name…” She waves her hand, “Ah well, not that important I’m sure. Anna is my name.” She nods at the lady in front of her. Torrad looks back at the door, still carrying his wood, “I should head out. I need to put this at home some time…” Anna nods, “I’ll head back as well, unless you need me for something else?” She glances at Liv.

Torrad’s smile grows on his face as he extends his arms, “Anna! Dear sister, I didn’t expect to see you here!” He says, obviously surprised.” The green-eyed girl goes up to him and embraces him, “I had to get some supplies for the hunt.” Anna breaks the hug and looks at the girl who was with him, “Who are you?” She asks, looking the girl up and down.

Torrad walks along and lets out a loud, happy laugh, “Hahaha! I have not heard that joke yet friend. I am glad to have found someone with a sense of humor…” He walks over to a woodshop, opening the door. Inside, was Liv at the counter, and another woman who seemed a bit older than Liv, with long brown hair and green eyes.

Faye does everything she can to secure Jack’s body, strapping down the straps nice and tight, feeling a large shift in the ship’s motion. She secures him and sits back herself, putting on a seatbelt while hugging her bag, digging into it and grasping her pistol and datapad.

I nod and look at you closely, “Well, outsider or not, you are always welcome in my eyes, traveler.” He chuckles a bit to himself, “Besides, being a thief is more fun that being a princess. A thief knows good skills to survive, while a princess normally does not, and would die mere steps outside of the walls of her kingdom.” He looks over at her, still smiling, “If you require a guide, I could do what I can, but after the Thing. Nobody can miss the Thing.”

Torrad nods and smiles, leading his new friend over to the woodworker’s shop. He knew where it was, having followed Anna there so many times and acted as a pack mule. “So, Swarine. What village are you from? You seem to be new here from what I can tell?”
-
Torrad smiles and gives a hearty laugh, “Well, we could go to Liv’s woodworker’s place…or I could just let you speak to my sister.” He holds up a finger, having an idea, “Or I could find the main square. A lot of trading happens there.” He looks back at Swarine, “Your choice.”
-
Torrad smiled back at her and felt her grasp on his hand, “It would be my pleasure to guide you, lady Swarine,” He says, slightly bowing. “This is Nole…Nolegs?” He looks around, his dog nowhere in sight. “She may be guiding that child…” He turns back to his new comrade, “So, where in the village must you be first?” He asks, already walking in a direction.
-
Torrad smiles and looks at the woman, “My apologies for offending you, m’lady. But it’s not every day something climbs in those trees! You need to be really light, strong, and agile to do that…like my sister.” He holds out his hand, “Torrad Melkolfson, at your service, m’am, and I will gladly show you to the village if needed.”

Faye gets the communication uplink established and smiles into it, speaking in Kika’s voice, “I’m still here, Apollo! I was…well, you want to hear a long story?”
-
Torrad shakes her hand and smiles, the forest clearing into a view of the village. He look and sees a boy running around calling for Astrid, “Well, a pleasure to meet you Astrid, but it seems like you’re friend was looking for you, as well!” He lets out a hearty chuckle, still walking with her.

Nolegs begins to bark at the trees again, hopping slightly now, as if she wanted something. Torrad looks at her, “Nolegs! What are you doin’?” He looks up, “Gah! The monkey…” He sighs, “You know, for a monkey you aren’t throwing much crap!” He shouts, a bit disappointed in the monkey legend.
