Why not? Are you expecting things to just work themselves out?


Of course not! It's just that I don't know enough to form a real plan. I don't want to act brashly. I get the feeling there's a lot more going on that I don't know about. Carmosa is acting strangely. If I could figure out what she's up to, maybe I could use that to my advantage. I'm also wondering if I could find a way to reclaim the estate from her somehow. I'm my father's only daughter after all.


There's almost always a way to bend the law to your will. It might not be very kind, though. Anyway, it doesn't seem you have a very clear idea of what you want yet. I promised your mother that I'd help you, and I will. But you yourself need to know what you want, first. Come see me once you're ready to move forward and we'll talk about your options.


Did you really promise my mother you'd help me?


Of course I did, girl. I have no reason to lie about that. You must get going now, though.


Wait. I still have so many questions.


I have a lot of work to do, I'm afraid. I can't afford any disturbances. I'm sure we'll have another chance to talk. I'll do my best to answer your questions then. You remind me so much of your mother, and I'm sure that you'll be just fine.


Thank you. Goodbye.


Take care, girl.




I can't tell when she is being serious or sarcastic. If she's giving me advice or just mocking me. Or both. And maybe I'm just not used to acts of selflessness, but I get suspicious when someone outright offers to help me with all my problems. Makes me wonder if they don't have some hidden agenda. Especially if it's the town witch. Looks like my mother was quite special to make such an interesting acquaintance. A witch! Hah! Still, she seems genuinely interested in helping me, and can I really be picky here?




Hmm... where should I go now? It's still fairly early. I can probably take my time today. I could go have a little talk with Tobias in his store. I wouldn't mind heading to the inn, either. I'm sure it would be fun.
