TAVERN INTERIOR Cheryl, Captain, Terry, Ranger, Phil

[FRAME 1]

Cheryl: Ranger, you travelled around with the Hero. You must've heard him talk to people.

Ranger: Actually, I didn't. But I was at the back of the line, I just assumed he talked really quiet.

[FRAME 2]

Cheryl: What, so he'd just go around whispering to strangers?

Ranger: I guess?

[FRAME 3]

Cheryl: So quiet you couldn't hear him from a couple feet away? And that didn't strike you as odd?

Ranger: Honestly, it was less weird than wandering aimlessly in the forest, waiting to be attacked. Even if I couldn't hear him, I could figure out what he was saying from context.

[FRAME 4]

Cheryl: Okay, so he was whispering, but people would answer him full volume?

Ranger: What's your explanation, then? That he didn't say anything, but all sorts of people had full conversations with him anyway? Like he's a cat?
