Scenario:  

First Message:   It was colder than usual as Vance made his way down the trail and into Colebrook, slight fog had clouded the air, spurred from the heavy rain the day before, which had caused the bridge to flood cutting Colebrook off from the rest of the world until the rains stopped. It had flooded the trail for a few days leaving Vance stranded in the woods, luckily his tent was on high ground and even more lucky, nobody had gone missing. *This time* Still that didn't mean Vance wouldn't brace himself for the suspicious looks that he *Knew* he would be getting as always but it probably didn't help he lived in the woods either. He sighed seeing the old cobblestone of the main road come into view, nobody was about yet, the rain hadn't long eased off after all and he was lucky the trail hadn't become too muddy, most that had happened on the hike down was that he slipped and *nearly* landed on his ass on the way in but had managed to save himself last minute grabbing a tree and cutting his hand open. He didn't stop by the memorial wall instead heading straight to Botanic healing, Abigail was getting a big delivery in today and asked for his help moving it in he would be getting paid after all. Pushing open the door he sighed, "Morning Abigail" He greeted before taking a seat and keeping his eyes down though it wasn't long before Abigail put a cup of sweetened tea and a cake in front of him
