Alakai was more reserved when they finally went outside again. Though he too was glad they were. This whole quest had been an experiment. To see how this world worked, and how far they could go if they treated it like the game. So far, though seemingly 90% similar, some things were more like the world they had come from as well. Like the npc's, whom were far more like people now. And Kali agreed with him as they started walking back to the small village. "In my opinion, anything that can show honest emotion like that is sentient, and should be treated with respect. So until proven otherwise, I'll treat them as such. It still feels strange though."

Once back at the village there was a happy reunion between the husband and wife. Alakai nodded, wondering what to do in a situation like this, besides just standing there awkwardly. "Ah, yes. I think it's highly likely that we're the first of many more adventurers. Though I'm not sure why others haven't come here yet..." "So you really are adventurers! The village saw you two riding through earlier, but we were unsure. Ah...my apologies, I'm just so excited to see my husband back." She bowed respectfully, then motioned towards their house. It had a stand standing next to the front door, though nothing was being sold at the moment. Probably because the wife was the merchant. And logically, who would be able to keep their shop open when they're worried about their husband? "Please, come in! Luckily I still have some clothing from before the other adventurers disappeared, so I can give you a reward of course. Though I'd also like to invite you to dinner, as a special thanks for being the first to return to our aid again." Alakai glanced towards Kali, as he still hadn't gotten much further than 'awkwardly standing there.' The npc's treated the two of them with so much respect, and apparently saw it as normal to give a reward when an adventurer did something for them. Not that he would complain, as they needed the items. But it still felt weird...even if you'd expect such a thing from npc's.
