End of the day – time to close up the shop and head over to the old folks for the weekly dinner.
Pearl locks up the Scarlett Letter and heads out into the streets in the early evening to have her weekly dinner with her parents in the southern part of Hluthvar.
She keeps looking over her shoulder to see if she is followed. Too many questions being asked and too many demands being made over the last days and weeks. Demands, and threats if she does not do as she is told. Threats to her and her family’s lives. She doesn’t want to end up like Randal – that dark creature of the night with his twisted ideas of love. The darkness has consumed him, and there is little left of the generous man she knew.
In the depths of a mind insane, fantasy and reality are the same.
Maybe the nosy adventurers who came to the shop today can help her find a way out of her predicament? She doesn’t dare talk to the clerics at the Helm temple – Randal seems to have his eyes and ears everywhere she goes. They seemed like good people at heart, even if their appearances were a little rough and they smelled of violence waiting to be unleashed, but if they help Cassra then maybe they can be trusted and she can let them in on her secrets, and then maybe she can be free again.
Pearl had good reason to look over her shoulder – she was most definitely being watched.
