Ironwood Village may be small, but it's my home. We're safe inside these walls, but I'm worried that the Ward Stone won't hold forever.
Weren't the monsters just after Rose? (+?.?? Aversion)
This isn't Rose's fault! She's the victim here!
Doesn't seem safe here to me. (+?.?? Aversion)
No, I don't suppose it is. (Steve shakes his head sadly.)
Ward who? (+?.?? Fondness)
The Ward Stone. The ancients left it to us long ago. It creates a barrier that monsters can't enter. It's inside these barriers that we've created our cities and towns.
What is there but leading my men against the monsters? I don't have time for anything else.
Let me know if I can help. (+2.00 Fondness)
Thank you, but please focus on finding Rose, {user_nick}.
Leading from inside the city walls? (+?.?? Fondness)
The militia would be lost without their beloved captain! It may look like cowardice to you, {user_nick}, but I've only got the town's best interests at heart.
Surely there's something you do for fun! (+?.?? Aversion)
It brings me joy. Not as long as there are monsters out there, preying on the innocent.
You're so boring. (+?.?? Aversion)
If by boring you mean a dutiful captain, then yes, I'm boring. (Steve looks upset.)
Beautiful ones? I don't know, it's not something I think about. Why do you want to know, anyway?
I could introduce you to a nice girl. (+?.?? Fondness)
You know someone? I'm pretty busy, but sure, if you know a nice human girl, I'd like to meet her.
You don't like any of the girls in Ironwood? (+?.?? Fondness)
Well, there was one...but she's not here anymore. And anyway, my friend liked her before I did.
No reason. (+?.?? Aversion)
Don't be such a bore, {user_nick}.
I doubt any beautiful girls would go out with you. (+?.?? Aversion)
Don't you go telling me who would and wouldn't go out with me! But... Fine, maybe I'm not a big hit with the ladies. That's all right by me. The Militia keeps me busy.
