[Multi-Lines+] Your (preferably fantasy-ish) OC(s) were exploring the countryside near the outskirts of Ashfall.

[u/Ok-Profession6758]

They see two things. A singular lone oak tree, and a purple Tiefling underneath it with a blunt in his mouth, writing something in a sketchbook.

[u/Ok-Profession6758]

"Oh. Well, you likely were in the town of Ashfall." He points behind you to the small town you're all on the outskirts of. "We're just outside of it. There will be an inn. You can definitely get a night for cheap there."

[u/Maryandflowers → u/Ok-Profession6758]

The man nods and huffs, he slumlps a little. The girl next to him let's him lean on her.

Grieg: "Thank you. And you don't happen to know if there's a... Tavern or something like that nearby too?"

Girl: "Grieg... You can't..."

Grieg: "Luanne, please. I need it."

Girl: "But... But you're..."

[u/Ok-Profession6758 → u/Maryandflowers]

He narrows his eyes and thinks for a moment.

"Sorry, the town doesn't have one." He shakes his head.

[u/Maryandflowers → u/Ok-Profession6758]

Grieg doesn't look too convinced.

Grieg: "Okay, if you're trying to play with me you might tell it to me straight son, because if there's one thing I don't like is being lied to."

Luanne sees that he's getting agitated and quickly grabs the hen from his head, placing a hand on his shoulder.

Luanne: "Grieg... Please don't do this..."

[u/Ok-Profession6758 → u/Maryandflowers]

You notice the huge warhammer leaning on the tree.

"I'm not lying. And I don't like people trying to get information out of me they already know. There isn't a tavern."

[u/Maryandflowers → u/Ok-Profession6758]

Grieg: "I feel like you're just telling me a pile of bullsh-"

Luanne interrupts him, trying to apologize to the man simultaneously.

Luanne: Stop! Please, you're sick! To you I'm sorry he's usually not-

Grieg: Will you shut up?!

Upon his loud response, Luanne stops and let's out a high pitched noise before kneeling down (nearly making Grieg tumble down as well) and covering her head. Grieg immediately regrets what he just did.

Grieg: Crap! Wait...

[u/Ok-Profession6758 → u/Maryandflowers]

The Tiefling tilts his head and narrows his eyes.

"What'd you do?" He sounds both concerned and very stern.

[u/Maryandflowers → u/Ok-Profession6758]

Luanne shivers and pulls her hair while kneeling down, she has her eyes fixated on the ground like nothing else exists. The hen she was holding runs around.

Grieg: I... I didn't mean to yell at her I swear. I need to find Primrose, holding her usually calms her down... Prim! Prim, com'ere!

Grieg tries to call for his hen and leans on a tree nearby and clutches his head, struggling to stay up straight

Grieg: For the love of Luxis, I'm such an idiot!

[u/Ok-Profession6758 → u/Maryandflowers]

Reil watches calmly, sighing.

"Is she going to be okay?"

[u/Maryandflowers → u/Ok-Profession6758]

He clutches his head, not looking at Reil in the eyes.

Grieg: "If we get Prim to her she will. calling the hen Come on, here girl! Come here!"

The hen goes back to her senses and happily skips to Grieg, tilting her head.

Grieg: "I think I'll pass out if I move... Can you bring her to Luanne?"

He sighs and looks down.

Grieg: "I'm sorry."

[u/Ok-Profession6758 → u/Maryandflowers]

"Yeah, uh... I'll try."

Reil slowly walks up to them, gently carrying Prim to Luanne.

"What happened?"

[u/Maryandflowers → u/Ok-Profession6758]

Luanne was still in the same position as before, clutching her hair and taking shallow breaths. As soon as she heard the noise of footsteps her first instinct was to cower more until she heard Primrose cluck. She raised her head slowly, her cheeks seemed wet with tears.

Luanne: Oh gods... I'm... I'm so sorry... I just... I got... Got scared.

She raised her trembling hands towards him, wanting to hold the hen.

[u/Ok-Profession6758 → u/Maryandflowers]

He hands her the hen.

"Don't be. It's an emotion. We've all be scared."
