'Who are they?" Wit asked?

“I don’t know. Robert told me nothing about them.”

okay

here's a thought

do want to skip to them finding his house? Rping them searching village after village before finding it seems really tedious to me. Unless spark has plans?

If we explore the villages it'd be fun to do some like, some side quest stuff too.

Ten days had passed. They had checked three villages, but had found no sign of Jolane's family. It had begun to wear down on all of them.

The first night, she had snuggled up against July, explaining that she was scared of the dark. She continued sleeping next to him the next nine nights.

Now, it was the 11th morning since they'd left the tavern, and they were close to another village.

"Slept well?" August asked drearily, leading his horse along the road.

He was clearly on edge. Whatever relief he'd felt at their early rescue of Jolane was gone, replaced by dread for how long the search for her family was taking. He wanted to help her, and seeing how close she and July were becoming pulled at his heart.

But September was out there looking for them. A fate they had run from for years was looming on the horizon. August was anxious to get away, as far away as possible, and fast.

July walked with Jolane, humming as they went. 

"I'm sure he'll be in this one," He told her optimistically. "We've checked almost everywhere else."

She nodded. "Yeah... they've got to be..."

"They will," July  said reassuringly. He held his hand up against the rising sun to stare at the buildings on the horizon. "We're almost there."

Welp she is now lol

Niamh yawned as they approached the village. She pulled out some jerky and began eating it while she looked around.

"It's niiice and peaceful," she noted to no one in particular.

"It could be a calm before the storm," August remarked quietly, still struggling with his soured mood.

Jolane took a deep breath and started walking forward.

As they approached the village, there was a house on the outskirts. A man and woman stood outside the door.

The man turned. Seeing the group, he opened his mouth to answer.

Then he saw Jolane.

He sprinted across the field towards her, locking her in his arms. His hand rested on the back of her head, and he began to cry.

Ma'tani watched them for a moment, silently.

He kissed her head right above her ear. "Jolane..." He sighed and set his chin on her head.

He pulled back and set his hands on her cheeks. "You look just like your mother," he smiled.

Niamh teared up slightly.

Her eyes began to tear. "You're... you're my..."

"Yes," he whispered.

Her face crashed into his chest, and their arms folded around each other.

"I'm so sorry..." he said. "You never should have had to go through that, and it was my fault for taking that risk... Jolane, my daughter... I love you so much."

The woman - presumably the man's wife - finally made it over herself. She did look amazingly like Jolane. She put a hand on her husband's shoulder, and he opened up for her to hug her daughter as well.

"Oh, my girl..." she whispered. "You're so beautiful..."

July stood to the side and let them have their moment. He wasn't great with people, but he did know that this wasn't the sort of thing you interrupt.

August was staring off at the southern horizon, distracted.

"How are you here?" he asked quietly. "Wouldn't Robert have..."

"The tavern burnt down, and lots of people lost belongings in the fire. They were mad and wanted him to repay them for their lost possessions, but he couldn't. An angry mob killed him."

"Well, that does explain why the tavern was gone when I went there a few days ago, as well as why the ones I asked were hesitant to answer. So, these people helped you find us?" He looked at the group, and Jolane nodded.

He addressed the group: "Thank you. All of you."

Niamh tried to subtly cover her soaked face with her arms.
