Stranger: Howdy, Travelers might I trouble you a moment.
Caleb: Hello, what can we do for you?
Teddy: My name's Teddy, I lost my group a while back on the trail
and haven't been able to catch up. By chance, are you heading to Oregon
City?
Caleb: We are..
Teddy: Then would it be too much to ask if I might accompany you on
your travels? I'm a good fisherman and hunter, I'll be able to help with
that.

Caleb: Is this a private gathering, or may I sit with you? Caleb
said, noticing Harper lost in thought.
Harper: Oh, Caleb...Of course, let me move over.
Caleb: Are you feeling alright?
Harper: I suppose I'm just a little homesick.
Caleb: I can imagine..you don't speak of your home often.
Is there a reason.
There is a reason, but I don't think I should say Harper
didn't think it was best to tell the truth.
Harper: There is...but I'm not sure if I'm ready to talk.
Caleb: Understood...We're here if you are though...
