Re: Chapter #4c: PSI-Pisca's Sandpoint Investigation (P,L)
Liseth was more than simply surprised by Ms Katrine's sudden appearance. But, as she was enveloped in a hug, the girl knew that this was one of the most pleasant and enjoyable surprises that she had been given in these last few days.
"Oh! Ms Katrine! Pisca and I were just looking for you!" Liseth knelt to help with the fallen produce. "You don't need to apologize for hugging me." She smiled, "I think that's just the pick-me-up that I needed." Liseth hesitated for a moment before telling Ms Katrine how she has been. Since the Festival ended it felt as though Liseth had been thrust from one frightening situation to another. Goblins, Mr Foxglove's initial advances, then UNDEAD, the big mean boar, and then going to all of the worst places in Sandpoint with Pisca. "I'm doing well, but I was actually concerned..."
Liseth couldn't finish as Ms Katrine went on to ask all about Mr Foxglove, "Oh, well Mr Foxglove is really very much a gentleman. And he seems to like spending time enjoying himself, especially with other people. But I think he is in Sandpoint on vacation, so of course he wants to have fun." The blonde nodded, "We had dinner last night with Mr Foxglove. I was actually scared of him at first, so I asked Kerr to come with me to the dinner. I thought that Mr Foxglove was going to be angry, but he let Kerr stay."
With a bright smile, Liseth recounted what else happened at the dinner, "But I did learn something important!" She looked towards Pisca, where the gnome silently observed the two human girls, "Pisca told me that Kerr was my boyfriend, so I asked him about it, and he agreed with her!!" The teenage girl giggled gleefully, "That means that Kerr is my boyfriend!"
"And then, after the dinner..." Liseth paused as she realized that she shouldn't say anything about the skeletons, even if it was to swoon over how Kerr destroyed so many all at once. "After the dinner...Mr Foxglove asked us to a boar hunt. We went riding today in the Tickwood, and Kellan even killed a big, mean boar! So tonight we're going to have dinner with Mr Foxglove again, and Ms Kaijitsu is going to cook the boar that was brought back! I still need to tell Kerr about it so that he can come to this dinner with me too."
"Oh! But I really wanted to ask about you!" Liseth's face filled with concern. "Are you doing alright?" She looked around at all of the nearby people and leaned in closer to whisper with the dark-haired girl, "Really alright? I didn't have much of a chance to see you after...what happened. If your injury still hurts a little I can fix it. But that's not what I mean." The short girl frowned slightly, "Ms Katrine, you almost died! And when we went to your family's store to look for you earlier today, your father was very concerned about you too. Do you want to talk about it? We can go to the Cathedral if you want privacy. But it isn't healthy to keep things like that inside."
Liseth was determined to make sure that Ms Katrine really was doing well, and wanted to be certain of that before asking anything about her mysterious boyfriend. And if she did want to go into the Cathedral for privacy, well; it may help with that question too. Since Ms Katrine obviously didn't want many people to know.
