A Dangerous Prescription

You decide to show her one thing you got from Margie.

(The woman remains silent. She looks at you warily and shakes her head. Perhaps what you showed her isn't something she lost.)

(You present the prescription in your hand and show Luna the dangerous lines.)

(Luna starts to stammer and gesture wildly with her hands. Her handwriting and reactions prove that you have found the right person.)

(Your words seem to calm Luna down a little.)

(Your actions seem to make her more anxious.)

(Luna points at her throat, then grabs a blank sheet and scribbles at speed.)

(Luna lowers her head and keeps on writing.)

(The woman thinks for a while and then nods.)

(The lady gives a faint smile and nods. You can see tears welling in her eyes.)

(The lady gives a raspy wail and buries her sad face in her hands. After a long time, she finally opens her purse and gives you some money while quaking in fear.)

(You give a satisfied nod, if the poetry falls into the wrong hands, she would lose more than just a wad of cash. You saved her from that fate and deserve the payment.)

(Luna still mumbles unintelligibly. Her eyes dart about to avoid your gaze.)

(The woman scrambles to scoop up her scattered notes. Her lips press tight, her face ghost-pale. Fear blazes in her eyes as the thugs close in. You're not sure what they're after, but one thing's clear: she's in danger.)

(Luna gives you a quick bow, perhaps a gesture of thanks, then hastily drops down to gather the remaining papers.)

(Your eyes flick over one of the sheets, you spot the word "prescription." Could this woman be linked to one of the items Margie gave you?)

(She lowers her head. She knows her voice may be gone for good, but when she looks up again, there's a flicker of hope in her eyes, as if to say: "But what if...?")

(Doubt lingers in her eyes. She doesn't really trust you at the moment.)

(On a bookshelf)

(Icelake knows all too well the strange seasonal colds that sweep in like winter winds, striking fast, and vanishing just as quickly. Even so, they're always hard on the little ones. Rapid Relief: Cold Remedy)

(On a bookshelf)

(A curious formula, originally a failed anti-Deterioration treatment. Later trials revealed unexpected effects on certain chronic conditions.)

(On the floor)

(Some, driven by hunger, have mistaken Eclipta Grass for food.) (If the poison hasn't set in too deep, this compound can help neutralise the toxins.)

(You've obtained a remedy that might help with Luna's throat)

(It dawns on you: if this remedy really works, it could bring back a bard's voice, and with it, the very danger that stole it away.)

Option 1

Her hands tremble slightly as she accepts the crumpled sheet, like she can't quite believe it's real. Her eyes glisten. She bows again and again, thanking you in silence.

(Remedy removed from inventory)

(You're not sure if giving her the remedy was the right thing. There's no telling if it'll work, or what might happen if it does.)

(But in the end... it was her choice. That's what you tell yourself.)

Quest complete. Remedy removed from inventory. Rewards granted. (Luna's bio unlocked)

Option 2

(Luna offers you a small smile, then gently pats your shoulder, as if to say: "That's alright. Thank you for trying.")

(She doesn't know the conflict churning inside you. Doesn't know you held something back, not out of cruelty, but to shield her from a danger she may never face.)

(She'll keep writing. That much is certain. And you've done what little you could to hold the worst at bay. At least... that's what you tell yourself.)
