Roll says... 5: What else.
"What else can I do?" You try to stay patient. "I have nothing here. No one knows where my home is. This caravan's the closest I got to a lead, so I have to follow it."
Charlie doesn't answer this at first. Her one ear is pinned against her head, and her eye is narrowed. She doesn't look at you when she does finally respond. "It's a dangerous world out there, kiddo."
"This city is full of circumstantial cannibals," you say caustically. "How can the outside possibly be more dangerous than that?"
"I'm just saying-" She shuffles again. "We hear stories, here. Some good, lots bad. Other cities, much bigger and worse than ours. Savages. Things like that. Nomads didn't think like the rest of-"
"Should I stay here, then?" you demand. "Forget my home, my old life? I'm not like you, Charlie - I live with my friends and family until I die. That Clan is everything I've ever known. How can I possibly just...leave them behind like this?"
"No, I know." Charlie sighs. "I won't argue you there."
"So what's the issue?" You watch her searchingly.
"It's just a bad feeling, is all." She looks down at you tiredly. "I can't explain it. Something makes me think those nomads are leading you to trouble."
I can handle trouble.
Feeling or not, I'm going.
I appreciate the concern, but...
Say nothing.
