None... There are a lot of tracks here... They're all over the place.
But none of them trail off of the forest path.
Evan should be going along this path.
Let's hurry up. The guard said this area isn't safe.
You have already been going along the trail for some time. You can even see the Forest Guard tents.
But there are no signs of Evan, still.
Think the Forest Guards found him first?
If Evan really can run that fast... It's possible...
Evan? No, I haven't seen him. Why would he be here? Or rather, why did you guys run all the way here?
Rosetta answers while ordering the Forest Guards to repair the tents.
Shouldn't you guys... be at the banquet?
...You relay Staessen's message to Rosetta and Diana.
...I see. We appreciate the thought.
Rosetta turns and continues commanding the tent repairs.
...Why?
...The Forest Guards were the ones in the wrong at first, for that we are branded sinners.
Even if Staessen did make such a decision, the people of the ARU will not change their attitude towards us.
What about Diana? The others? Won't you consider how much it would benefit the Forest Guards?
...
We feel the same as Rosetta. Now, let me escort you out.
On your way out, Diana remains silent until she escorts you out of the settlement. Hesitantly, she finally speaks.
...The Forest Guards will not accept gratuities without reason, nor do we like to owe others favors.
An outsider might find us archaic and obstinate, but I hope you can understand.
I don't know why, but it feels a little like the "chivalry" thing mentioned in Golden Age literature.
...I guess you could call it that.
Suddenly, you hear the cry of a boy coming from the snowy forest.
...It's Evan!!!
