[A man is running through the town, frantically searching for something. He seems completely unaware that he's been moved to a new location as he continues to search, pulling random people he encounters aside.]

Have you seen my family?

[lets him go, but he's not going anywhere]

I need your help.

[Asch brushed his tabard off, giving the frantic man a dull look.]

Fine. When did you see them last?

It was a few days ago, before I left Baticul. When I returned, they were gone.

Then you're out of luck here. This isn't Baticul.

It has to be!

Do you have eyes, old man? Does this look anything like Baticul to you?

But if this isn't Baticul...

I don't know what this city is called, just that there are a lot of people from Auldrant here.

Then it's possible they arrived as well.

...maybe. [Though he's totally not betting on some random man and his family showing up... dammit, why did this guy feel familiar?]

What are their names?

My wife is Sylvia, and my daughter is Meryl. She's only a baby.

...

[...Oh you had to be freaking kidding.]

...They're not here.

They have to be!

They're not. Sorry.

[He's not trying to sound too cold for once, but dammit, if Largo didn't stop yelling at him...]

Then... They're still in Baticul?

[Knowing otherwise and telling a lie wasn't exactly something that Asch excelled at (just ask Elder McGovern an his, "My hair grows fast," excuse). Still...]

Yeah... they're still in Baticul. They should be fine.

Will you show me the way back?

Sorry, I don't know if there is a way back, or if anyone's found one. All that's outside the city is forest.

...I'll look there first, then.

...good luck.

...Thank you.
