Far enough that we don't have to worry about our daily life, but near enough that it can make it a pain for merchants to come, sometimes.
[At the second part, Kazuki is quiet for a moment.]
Thanks. At least all the way out here, politics don't affect us too much, even if that also means we don't always get help from the government when we need it.
Nothing specific. Just the usual—not always a ton of jobs or money coming through. At least, that's what the adults say.
[Kazuki is perhaps just young enough that he doesn't have to think about ECONOMICAL MATTERS.
The cleric has finished his stories, keeping Arthur in the corner of his eye as he wraps up. The woman watching him eyes him for another moment, before walking away.]
Thanks. At least our bandit problem stopped, thanks to the last travelers...
[And with that, Kazuki has to leave. See you later, Arthur.
From there, Arthur can inquiry the cleric!
Cleric, Temenos
A cleric who serves the Order, currently stationed in the village. He spreads the church's teachings and educates the villagers, while also keeping an ear out for any gossip. His skills have allowed him to obtain hidden nuggets of information, such as the news that the crown prince of Riven hasn't been seen in court for a long time now. Many people who aren't so fond of King Riven's recent policies bemoan this fact, feeling that the prince was one of the last things keeping him in check.
The woman has left so Arthur can no longer inquiry her, but the inquiry to Temenos will throw in a free benefit of learning that the woman's name is Elizabeth, and no one's quite sure what to make of her. Of course, not that a cleric should be gossiping more than that...
At this point, Opal exits the apothecaries' place.]
You willing to pay the apothecaries for me? [A pause, and then, regardless of Arthur's answer:] Just kidding. I'm not that stingy. I already paid.
[But the day is getting late, and, well. No reason not to be stuck together for now, as fellow defectors, who are staying at the same inn in this small village at any rate. Opal and Arthur can share a meal over at the tavern first, where they can chat for a bit—however awkwardly—before heading to the inn for the night. Today was certainly eventful, so who's to say what tomorrow will bring?

Well... Is that all you need help with? The monsters, I mean. Or is there something else you need that they haven't given you?

With that in mind, Arthur wakes up.]
