[For anyone else, maybe it would've been a little less of that -- unnerving. For Noel, though? The life he's been living has been anything but good, prosperous, or successful. It's been more like some kind of half-existence, stuck somewhere between life and death. Other people get by. That's their right. Him? He can't move past the fact that it's all his doing.]

My-- [...friend, he stops himself from saying.] Someone I know -- he saw a sister, too.

[His eyes are on the lake, arms folded over his chest.] It wasn't the first time they did something like that, either. Showing us visions of things from home. Seems like they're trying to get a rise out of us, sometimes.

[Wouldn't surprise him at all if that does turn out to be the case.]

[If there's anything she can relate with him, it's also his loneliness. It's definitely something she can see weighing on him, adding to the fact that he blames himself when everything was put onto his shoulders.]

Saw a sister too, hmm. [Family and loved ones indeed. She heard of a few who did cave.]

Yes, so it has happened very often. I wonder why. The Fog God, understandable, why he would do this. Yet why would the other? If he is truly on our side, he would know not to threaten us.

[He's silent for a moment, mulling over the options. Mulling over the particular way she's phrased that. Gods warring with each other, and humanity caught in the middle of it. It's not unfamiliar.]

Honestly? I doubt that either of them is on our side.

[Both of them have threatened harm and promised power. That's not something you do when you have someone else's interests at heart.]

They've both got their own agendas, and we're either assets or collateral damage.
