Scene 69

Klein

Hey, you made it! Awesome!

Klein

Okay, let's head over to the meeting point. But first, let me fill you in.

Klein

See, this all started a few days ago. I rescued an NPC merchant who was being harassed by a couple of rude customers.

Klein

I chased them off, but the shop's stock was ruined...

Klein

Their business was in trouble, so I went ahead and lent them a little cash!

Klein

They're supposed to be paying me back today, but the place they want to meet me at is on the outskirts of town. Y'know, where all the monsters are.

Klein

Yeah, yeah... My party members all pulled the same face you're making right now. Saying I'm gonna get attacked, or the merchant's not gonna show.

Klein

Look, I admit, it's odd that they're asking to meet in a place like that...

Klein

But people have their reasons, y'know?

Klein

It's honestly kinda sad that we always have to assume the worst about everyone we meet...

Klein

So I decided I'm gonna go out on a limb and trust 'em! Anyway, let's get moving!
