Setting
However, outsiders often believe that this clan's deviations from their ancestral ways brought about their blight. Dubbed 'Cursed' by their compatriots, few other gypsy clans will mingle with the gypsies of Mistwood.
The Mistwood Gypsy Clan serves as a haven for other individuals of like mind. Outcasts of the gypsy people who have carved out a name for themselves despite their unorthodox ways.
βUh... how can I help you?β the woman inquired as she stepped out, carefully closing the door behind her. Having been all but outcast by her own people, she was substantially less hostile towards outsiders, but that didn't mean she trusted them.
She didn't seem dressed for the cold, but she didn't offer to go back inside either.
βI'm not sure I understand the question. You speak to me as one who keeps track of the movements and habits of these creatures. I couldn't tell you one from another. What exactly is it you want to know?β
βI'm afraid I don't know what Ciara spoke to you about. A lot of happenings occur around these parts, you really will need to be more specific. We keep to ourselves you see, and what goes on outside here, we rarely keep up with. As for this talk of a pact, I don't know where you heard that, but it was less of a pact and more of an unspoken truce. When our people first inhabited these lands, there were conflicts, but boundaries were established and that's a thing of the past.β
βYou are over stepping yourself. That is not a matter for a stranger to concern himself with.β
