You’ve just arrived in a swampy, dim town. As you look around, your gaze is met with shacks and cabins. It smells of rotted wood and wet moss. You duck and step into a tattered tent, illuminated by a series of candles suspended in the air. At the back of the tent, an old hag raises her head, “What brings you to this dingy town? she begins, then pauses to study your face—”Ah, it’s you. I’ve been expecting you. Sit,” she gestures at a cushion, “Tell me your story.”
((How do you respond?))
"oh.. me?" Kailu looks around surprised he is being spoken to before returning his gaze to hers "you have any interest in my story?" his face brightens with joy as he begins to pace around the old hags tent chattering so very fast away to himself "Oh my! well to start off I was born to my haelun and maln and I was they're first child!" he stopped for a moment scratching his head "I was quite a fat baby apparently..." there was a quick moment of silence "well it seems I grew into it! as I am quite the skinny tall elf now!" he smiled widely at the hag before starting to pace around again "I was very clumsy growing up I would always have a broken bone, I enjoyed climbing the trees in the forest close to my village! but I don't think it liked me.." he frowned momentarily "anyway! now that I am grown I have decided to travel! and this is my first destination." Kailu looked around once again "this place has lots of um!" he swiped his finger onto one of the hags tables closest to him lifting said finger to his eyes seeing the built up dust on it ".....personality?" he looked back over to the hag smiling once again "oh gosh how selfish of me! what about you what's your stor-" his smile faded quickly as he had a moment of realization "wait... you said you have been expecting me?! how do you know who I am! who are you!!??
