"I've been everywhere," Fionn replied with a harsh tone.
"I know, but what have you done during that time?" the old hag asked.
*Fionn would note the old hag's appearance quickly, before continuing to answer the question. For a second, he swore he recognized her from somewhere, but dropped the thought.*
"Killed. It went from one to two, and then two to four. After the fifth, I became a pariah, so I went rogue and forgot everyone I knew. Sometimes, I don't even know who I am anymore," Fionn stated, almost nearly monotone, but with a slight bit of anger and sadness that he was unsure about. "I do have a question about you, though. Why are we here?"
*This was, of course, for her to know, and for him to find out at a future time. Not wanting to give any hints, the old hag got straight to the point, "You've become something of a master assassin and thief nowadays, and I think I have a job for you."
"What do you want me to do? And, as I'm sure your aware, it will cost you," Fionn exclaimed, ready to do the task.
"You need to eliminate Richard," the old hag said with zero hesitation.
*Richard, Fionn knew, was his former best friend before he disappeared. I guess that meant that Richard was alive.*
"Do you know where he is?" Fionn inquired, looking into his next target."
All the old hag said was, "You know."
