@BlackrockRocket [Star leans into the affection. Star? Maybe not Star, actually. She.. isnt sure right now. She feels so, so fuzzy.]

[Someone would need to fix that.]
[We told her to be careful.]
[All she had to do was stay with the Swan for the night.]
[The Swan would've kept her safe.]
[Now look what fate has befallen you.]
[Foolish Merchant. Don't you know what happens to Heros?]
