"Wait for me in the village." you whisper to Flax.
"What?" replied Flax. "B... But..."
"Or at least get some distance, I don't want the guy scared! Please..."
Flax was thinking for a brief moment, looking at the ground. Then he looked at you, nodded, and turned back.
"C'mon, Sas!"
The person did pick up some speed, trying to get away from you. You followed it, and prepared a spell.
Calling forth a helpful spirit being, you began healing the shrouded one.
They slowed down, then stopped, exhaling slowly.
It turned towards you. You didn't come closer, waiting what they'll do first.
"You're a sorcerer?" the person asked with a different tone in their voice, keenly observing you.
You didn't respond immediately, as you was unsure whether it is necessary. Then person didn't saw you cast the spell, but it clearly got the idea, right? But before you could say anything, the masked one barked at you again:
"Get lost!"
You were unsure what to think, but you didn't back down a bit, still willing to help. You tried to negotiate, unfortunately in vain.
"I..."
"Keep your disgusting magic away from me!" the person cried, raising their voice. Until now they sounded annoyed, but now they're getting angry.
The tension is rising, yet you still feel urge to help.
"I seek no harm. I can help you, and I want to..."
"You can't help me! I don't want your sympathy! Back off, or you're going to rue this day forever, if it won't be your last one, that is!"The masked one stroke a vicious pose. It definitely means business...
What do you want to do?
