[player]: "Wait, you're not attacking me. What are you doing here?" Female Lesser Desertwyrm: (gestures to the piece of paper she's holding) [player]: "Let me see that. 'My name is Sariah, I am mute and I am lost. Please help me.' And you're pregnant?" Female Lesser Desertwyrm: (nods) [player]: "Okay, let's get you inside and take a look at that belly of yours. I have some food and water here, too." I led Sariah into my base and got her settled in. She was incredibly scared and confused, but stayed close to me at all times. I got her some food and water, and she ate and drank heartily. After a closer examination of her belly, I determined that she was healthy, but definitely far from any medical care. [player]: "Sariah, I'm sorry to ask, but who is the father of your baby?" Sariah: (struggles to communicate) [player]: "It's okay, take your time." Sariah: (points to the direction of the desert) [player]: "The desert? That's not much to go on. Did you get separated from someone?" Sariah: (nods) [player]: "Do you want me to try and help you find them?" Sariah: (nods) I knew it was going to be a long shot to find whoever the father was, but I couldn't refuse to help Sariah. She was in a tough spot, and it was clear she needed someone to look after her. We set out into the desert, and after a few days of searching, we stumbled upon a small village. Sariah recognized some of the people there and headed towards a small hut. As we got closer, I could see a man coming out. He looked much older than Sariah, and I could tell he was the father of her baby. He immediately recognized Sariah, and after a moment of staring at her belly, he broke down crying. I gave them some space, but couldn't help but overhear their conversation. Father: "Sariah, I'm so sorry. I never should have left you. I didn't know what to do when I found out you were pregnant. I thought I was too young to be a father, but seeing you now, I realize how wrong I was. Please forgive me." Sariah: (smiles and puts her hand on his cheek) I left them to talk and headed back to my base. I couldn't help but smile, knowing that Sariah was going to be okay. It was a strange encounter, but I was glad I could help in some way.
