Graicus then thought of a possible lead they could investigate.

"Did Helian have any friends around town?"

Mirella nodded but was quick to add she had already asked them and they did not know anything.

"He didn't have many friends. When we moved back to Bruma it was difficult for him to make new friends. The Nords would rather bully him then get to know him." She added sadly. She wished she could've done something to make him feel more at ease, perhaps if he hadn't been picked on he would never have ran off.

"And these Nords? They're kids?"

Mirella nodded.

"Ylrund's boys mainly. He's the butcher down on the Countess' road, in the eastern part of town. They would constantly tease him. More than that actually." Her voice, now laced with anger, but directed more at herself than at the children of others.

"Did you ask them?" Graicus wondered, with raised eyebrows.

"No. Helian did not like them, I doubt he would've had much to say to them."

"Maybe he did." Graicus proposed.

Mirella didn't exactly follow.

"Maybe he would brag to them about how he was leaving, become a big man."

"In any case, I think we ought to pay a visit..."

"Aspurn and Blint." Mirella told them. "Their names... Usually they have the other Nord kids following them around."

Graicus' eyebrows raised even further up his forehead when he heard those names.

''No wonder they bullied. I would've hated the world too.''
