At once, Isabelle stiffened, and although she kept herself together well enough, her voice cracked. "Well...we recently lost out mayor, and none of the other residents wanted to step up. A number of them moved away, and as you can see...." She looked away, ashamed at how poorly her town represented itself to a visitor. "Well...It's not been very good. I've been trying to advertise to try and bring new residents and pique interest in the village, but without any major attractions, a lot of the tourists get bored, and prospective residents don't stay long...."<br/><br/>She stifled a sob. "But I'm sorry...I shouldn't trouble you. You came all this way..... Is there something I can help you with, Nate?"<br/><br/>((Gotta head out for the night!))
