Smashed World, Part II

"It isn't right to cage a bird, but we are under an agreement. Isn't there a way to get both ends of this and tie them together?"

Speeking to the daughter
"Who is this boy that you have to marry, and what is his social status. If you want to travel, it may still be a possibility, but if you want to adventure, that is a different matter."

"I believe our agreement was to protect Miss Chendra until the wedding. Not letting her get married just greatly extends our contract."

 

[Howling Coyote]

"There is that too. I don't want be her babysitter forever. So if we want to get back on the road again without her accompanying us we better side with her father."

 

[Zhure]

Durban

"As I see it, we're off on a quest and we protect each other, so if Chendra accompanies us, we'll be protecting her. If she decides to get married, she won't have to go with us anymore.

"It's just a suggestion."

 

[Zack2216]

"I agree, her traveling with us will endanger her life. We need to do something to lighten her burden though, but what?"

 

[Zhure]

Durban

"Well, she certainly has the wits to be an adventurer, and she fooled us for a brief time...."

 

[Zack2216]

"Ok, so what if we do take her with us, assuming she wants to go with us specifically, what will we tell her father, to just "Get a new daughter?" We know that she is right here, and we were supposed to protect, and now find her. You know, we need to make a decision, but first," directing my attention and speech to the mayor's daughter, "Do you want to come with us should we leave and decide to not turn you in?"

 

[Howling Coyote]

"I can't believe you are considering this. The roads are a dangerous place and we can't always watch her back.
“What if there's a battle, there always is. Can she defend herself? If we have to protect her at the same time someone’s going to get killed, and it isn't necessarily her.
“You can go far with wits alone in a city, but the wilderness is far different matter. Heck if we are lucky she knows how to ride a horse, but that doesn't make her an experienced rider, and before the week is at its end she’s going to be complaining how her body aches.
“And just imagine what will happen when the first storm breaks and we are miles away from civilization. When you are cold, wet and dirty, and have been living by eating rations for several days if not for weeks.
“That's the moment that she's finally going to break, if not sooner. We've all gone through it, and it sure as hell saps the morale of the strongest and most experienced veteran."

Chendra seems genuinely surprised by Haplo's guestion (remember, you are discussing the matter outside the cell). But right behind the surprise comes exitement.
"I... yes... yes, I do want to!"

"I think the mayor will be delighted," Durban says sarcastically. "You'll be telling him of your plans, of course? It's the only honorable course of action, Miss Chendra."
