"What's stopping you from changing it?"*The Elf would question.*"You sound like someone who's already given up on the idea."*He didn't look to her as he spoke, mostly glancing up at the sky, while trying to make a mental image of what information would be enough to rebuild this family thing she mentioned. Every sentence seemed so cryptic, it was a wonder of whether she'd rather not speak on it at all. Actually, there was a high chance of it being that, but the effort in dodging around what she meant by that didn't seem worth the effort to an Elf that could have been left at there being a place for him to go for information. Maybe one day it would come down to needing it, but if that was the one way she could pay him back, he didn't see himself getting repaid for years from now.*

"Well, directly, money. I just need to get a little more so I can buy the property from the current owner. In addition to needing enough for renovations." She settled back a little more, looking up at the stars in the night sky, counting each one. "What plans do you have? Or intend to travel and earn money."

"I earn money as I go. It never hurts to see what jobs are available in the next town over. Might even get lucky with a high-paying one, who knows?"*He'd say before turning his head to glance over at her.*"I guess you already got everything figured out though, huh?"*The Elf would say it with a light laugh, whether that was because of what her potential job suggested or merely her absolute attitude towards working to the goal she set out, who knew really with this Elf. He found amusement in most things, but he wouldn't chide someone who knows what they're doing, so long as it made sense anyways.*
