Quests

Talk

  1. “Thirty years I kept that house. Swept it, dusted it, wound the clocks. Then something moved in and I moved out. Fair trade, I figured. It didn't figure.”
  2. “People ask why I stand here looking at the sea. It's not the sea. It's that it's the other way from the manor.”
  3. “You hear things in a house that old. Floors settle. Pipes knock. Then one day the knocking walks down the stairs.”
  4. “I sleep fine now. Mostly because I don't. You can't have a nightmare if you never close your eyes. That's science.”

When you walk off mid-sentence

  • “Off you go, then. Thirty years in that house... I'm used to talking to empty rooms.”
  • “Rude. The old master used to leave like that. Then he stopped coming back.”
  • “Well. I'll go back to standing here. I've had the practice.”
