Dialogue with Subira

Subira: Ulfe, you've stopped. Is something amiss?

Subira: ...

Subira: (Ulfe stands in front of a small worn doll abandoned in the street. He bends down to pick it up, gripping the doll so tightly its form distorts slightly under the pressure.)

Subira: Ah. Was that yours? I apologize, I was under the impression everything here was from the War.

Subira: (Ulfe shakes his head, still holding the doll.)

Subira: Do not... know.

Subira: This... all this. I stay away a long time. Before the forest is sick, I stay away.

Subira: And before the forest was sick... you were here?

Subira: (He nods and shrinks back into himself, still clinging to the doll.)

Subira: Ulfe... this may be a difficult question to answer, but I must ask nonetheless.

Subira: Where are your parents?

Subira: ...

Subira: Gone.

Subira: Where did they go?

Subira: (He points at the ground.)

Subira: I see. Thank you for answering. {playername}, can I speak to you for a moment? Alone.
