Re: Chapter 1: The Road Not Taken
Jocelyn's gaze centered on Jourdain as he spoke to her, looking at him like she was trying to figure him out for a moment. She didn't seem to like what she found there, and looked down and away after a short moment.
"I'm... I was just walking around, when I heard the howls. I just found them when I was looking for a safe place, told them about the runes on the guardhouse. After... I just went along, didn't want to be caught out alone again..."
Why are you lying to him?
You saw his eyes too, we can't trust him. It's obvious she's hiding amongst them, if we're going to help her, they can't know that's what we're doing.
He's not like the others, he's staying back like the creepy one. Maybe he's not that bad, either.
But we're not helping her, either. Should we be trying to fit in more too?
Jocelyn frowned and grumbled a bit, scratching at her shoulder for a moment like she was angry at it.
