A Little Bridge/Rising

Transcript

Wolf arrives at the bonfire and talks with Attal and Gwynn. The Eliksni children are nearby.

Gwynn: Ahh… We've reached my favorite part of the story.

Gwynn: That's why you only see the hatchlings here.

Attal: Gwynn!

Gwynn: How many human lives did he take? And how many of his kind were killed by ours?

Attal: He wasn't hostile!

Gwynn: Then how did he die?

Gwynn: Don't be foolish, Attal. It was inevitable.

Attal: N-no. If the Servitor hadn't gone haywire, then he wouldn't…

Wolf (option): Ask what happened next

Attal: After that, I returned to his camp and brought the kids to Haven.

Attal: He couldn't accept living in a human city, but the kids can.

Attal: Luckily, Lord Radegast didn't object.

Gwynn: He didn't approve it either. Hmph, a typical lord.

Attal: Kevarrh helped a lot, too.

Attal: I don't regret trying to save them, even if things didn't turn out as I'd hoped.

Attal: My only regret is…

Attal: I never asked his name.

Attal starts to cry. The Eliksni children go over and comfort her.

Eliksni Child: No, cry…

Eliksni Child: …Tears, bad!

Attal: …I-I'm okay. Thanks…

Attal: Sorry, Wolf. You shouldn't see me like this.

Wolf (option): Ask if the kids know the truth

Attal: I…I don't know how to tell them about it yet. I don't even know if I should.

Attal: Will they understand me? Will they hate me?

Attal: I don't know.

Attal: I think I still need some time to think about it, and…prepare.

Gwynn: Oh? I look forward to that day.

Attal: Regardless… I want to thank you, Wolf.

Attal: Thank you for listening to such a long story.

Attal: I'm so happy to have a friend like you—we are friends, right…?

Wolf (option): Nod

Attal: Phew… I was afraid you'd deny it! I'm glad we're on the same page then.

Attal: Thank you. I'll see you around.
