Part 19: Goon Playthrough - Part 19




Ah, but that didn't really answer the question.


Well, it hardly matters whether magic is real or not. Some people think that their life is ruled by fate. In reality, it's just easier for them to blame everything on fairies instead of their own mistakes. I prefer to take my fate into my own hands, so it doesn't matter if magic exists. I'll still aim for what I want.


What a rare and refreshing outlook on life, especially for a young girl. Most women in this weird country seem content to accept whatever is handed to them. Perhaps you would like to come visit my shop the next time you're in town. Tomorrow, maybe?


Maybe. Is there any reason you're inviting me?




Wait! You knew my mother?


Of course I did. Who do you think has been tending to her grave all this time? It surely wasn't you.


So you were friends with my mother?


There, there. Your questions can wait for tomorrow. I'm tired, and I need to return home. Shouldn't you hurry home as well? You'll be in deep trouble if Carmosa discovers you're gone.


How did you know that I snuck out?




Or maybe it's just that I know Carmosa wouldn't let you wander around the woods on your own.


I really want to see you tomorrow, but it won't be easy. Carmosa usually keeps a watchful eye on me.


Well then, you'll just have to think of something, won't you? You won't get anything out of life if you don't take a few risks.


I guess so. I'll try to come tomorrow.


Excellent. I'll see you then. Take care of yourself.




For now, I'd better just concentrate on getting home. Magic or not, the witch was right about one thing. If Carmosa finds out I snuck out, I'll be in deep trouble.




Looks like I made it back in time!




Hey, I know you! You're that man who was with Tobias last night.


Keep your voice low, Miss'um! I'm trying to remain incognito here!


What are you even doing here?


Oh, nothing important enough to bother you. 'Tis merely boring business stuff.
