[His father-in-law's shop...?]

You married into a carpentry family? How nice! What was your family like?

[ruffboi]

Yeah. I went to Raven's Roost when I was a kid so I could learn carpentry. I apprenticed with Steven, and then I met his daughter.

[Smiling to himself.]

They were, uh, really good people. Steven always treated me like I was his own kid. And Julia was just about the best person you could ever meet. She was smart, and tough, and she didn't stand for any bullshit.

[fishingforcompliments]

They sound wonderful!

[Good people, definitely. It's easy to imagine Magnus among people like that - since he, too, has been warm and kind and didn't stand for any of the murdergame's bullshit.

(Nonsense, on the other hand...)]

What was it like, working as a carpenter?

[ruffboi]

They were. It was the best time of my life, y'know? I've always been a guy who goes out and looks for adventure, but just living in a peaceful town, making things with my hands that I'm proud of for people who are gonna love them, surrounded by the best people you could ever meet -

That's what life's supposed to be about. You have to hold onto things like that.

[fishingforcompliments]

Yes.

[That sort of life sounds ideal, honestly.]

I hope that you are able to return to that sort of life, soon.

[ruffboi]

Thanks.

[Smiling a little sadly.]

I think that part of my life is probably over. But I have other things to get back to.

[fishingforcompliments]

Oh... I am sorry. But I hope that the other things you are returning to are equally fulfilling.

[ruffboi]

[Uh. Mmm.]

Yeah, I like my life now. Lots of adventure, danger, good friends. Worth getting back to it.

[fishingforcompliments]

[hmmm indeed.]

Then we shall do our utmost to get you back home!
