(Hound, Isaac)

Lance catches the water canteen from Marcus: "Thanks, man. I'll be right back". He then goes back to Lina, only to find Ophelia sleeping in her arms. In his surprise, he tries to whisper to her: "What ? She fell asleep ?". She also whispers back to him, as to not disturb Ophelia.

Lina: "Shhhh. Yes, she did. Is that water ?"

Lance: "Yeah, here you go", he says while handing her the canteen.

Lina: "Thank you."

Lance: "So what happened to her ?"

Lina: "She said she was tired. And in pain. Poor girl..."

Lance: "Tired and in pain ? From what ?"

Lina: "She has mentioned a couple clues. I will explain later."

Lance: "...Okay then. Now what ? How is she supposed to talk to Cyndwella like this ? We can't even bring her in after all the weird stuff she pulled off."

Lina: "I am aware, Lance. And honestly, I have no idea were we can bring her now or what do to next."

Lance: "Can't we bring her back to the tavern ?"

Lina: "I'm... not certain. I believe it is past closing hour now."

Lance: "Damnit. Then who can we ask ? We don't even know if there are abandoned houses or at least empty caves in this town."

Lina: "I do not know either. Besides, she have said that those will not suffice either."

Lance: "So... are you just gonna sit here like this with her ?"

Lina: "If I must..." She pauses to smile, then continues: "You know, this takes me back..."

Lance: "Back where ? Uh I mean, when ?"

Lina: "To the time when I watched over Meri. Sometimes she would be frightened or sad. And every time I would hold her close. Just like this... Speaking of Meri, you may go and join her now. She must be waiting. I will handle this."

Lance: "...Are-Are you sure ?"

Lina: "Have I stuttered, young man ? Please, do not worry for me, just go. If someone is concerned about me, simply tell them that I must tend to something important. And that I apologise profoundly for my absence."

Lance: "...Al-alright then. We'll be checking you, though. Sit tight."

With that, Lance leaves the two girls and aproaches Marcus once more before entering the mansion. "Welp, Lina's kinda busy at the moment so she'll be back... uh, shortly, I think".
