Protect the Girl

Are you sure you can't stay?

I wish I could. But fear not! I shall be watching over you. And I will visit you again soon.

You'd better! It's too empty here without you to keep me company.

I'll return as soon as I know how to keep you safe. I'll be as quick as I can! (Vieren might have some ideas.)

I'm okay, really. But if you insist...

Did you change your mind? It's safe after all, right?

Well? Was she happy to see you?

I believe so... I hope. More importantly, I encountered the Black Mage's minions in the forest near her home.

Drats! If they're up and about already, the big guy himself won't be far behind.

I must track down the Black Mage, but first we have to see to Lania's safety. If the Black Mage realizes that I care for her...

Right, right. Well, I've got a few ideas...
