The walk with Maylin is quiet and contemplative. She's right that they aren't far away though; after a few minutes of walking going on nearly and hour, the outline of a crowd and lights and tents begins to form over the edge of the horizon and I only have a few minutes left to think of something meaningful and convincing to say to these people.
I already know what I can't say though. I can't say I can offer them the same security Maylin does as an S-rank Mage, that's just not going to be possible.
But what I can offer is pretty much everything else. A place to settle where very little people will question you, actual homes not tents and food at any time they want not to mention jobs.
What I offer is society.
Realizing this I start to form my entire speech around the idea of giving a person the choice to be a part of society. It's a strange thing to think of given that most people are simply born into society and that's that.
