Chapter 55 - Shopping trip
"There are so many people," Fynn said as he looked out the carriage window and at the masses that crowded the streets. The young man's eyes seemed to be plastered on a small stall that was selling what Scarlett could only liken to some sort of candied apples to a group of kids.
"Is this your first time in the capital for the Light Fest?" Allyssa asked him from beside Scarlett.
"Yes. Where I'm from we don't have it," he said.
"Where's that?"
Fynn stilled, and Scarlett could practically see the cogs moving in his head as he tried to answer. She knew he was terrible with lies, so she decided to help him out this once.
"If I recall correctly, you were from Dimfrost, were you not?" she said casually.
He looked towards her with slight surprise, then slowly nodded his head. "...That's right."
From what Scarlett remembered, that was a village that was closely connected to his tribe. In the game it was where he said he was from up until he started trusting you more.
"Dimfrost? That's somwhere to the west, isn't it?" Allyssa asked.
"It's situated between the eastern edge of the Whitdown Mountains and the Three Streams. Just south of the Blasted Lands," Shin said, not looking up from the thick book he was reading.
"Oh." Allyssa's eyes widened. "Then during the Dragon Rampage you..."
Fynn's expression darkened somewhat, and Allyssa went quiet.
