Private Sad days ahead

[Ulrica Adolfina]

Ulrica Adolfina waited at the small homestead within the Rimward Trade League. She was excited to tell her adoptive father Frank when he returned home that she got exepted into the rangers. hearing a ship outside their residents she broke into a light jog twords the door only to open it up to see someone Frank would discribe as Tovald. "oh you must be Tovald the legendary swordsman who cleared a deck of hundreds of spider things before rescuing frank from a ship exploding.....speaking of which what brings you here, is dad on his way too?"

Frank's wishes were to return to the Homestead and give his tags to his daughter. Tovald had made sure to keep Frank's body-safe and cool. He was a close friend and this was the best way to go about this. He spent the better part of an hour trying to rehearse what he would tell Frank's daughter, Ulrica. Each time felt hollow and empty and he had been keeping his face neutral throughout, how can he deliver the news if he was upset also?

He did not need to dwell long before the alert pinged down the ship. They arrived at Frank's homestead, and Tovald had to prep the body to be carried out once they got here. The RTL know his ship well enough to let him in without hassle so that saved tempers from fraying. Tovald wouldn't want to lose his temper, not right now.

Soon when he had landed he was greeted by Ulrica, he felt empathy towards the woman and a prang of pride that he was thought of as a great swordsman. But that's not why he was here. He took a deep breath and gave her a searching look, dreading the news he was about to give her.

<"Hello, you must be Ulrica and Frank is why I am here, he didn't make it, he was killed in action."> A pause and then, <"he wished for you to have his dog tags.">

Ulrica faltered in step breifly before giving a nervous chuckle. "your kidding right Dad cant die hell he was practically a zombie from those holo vds." Searching Tovalds face for any sign that this was a joke. unable to find any. tears began to trickle down her face. "b-but he said hed be back....he promised...." she felt her knees become weak as she tied to steady herself. "how did he die?" she asked as she was trying to keep her self from just breaking down."

the man who took her in after busting a slaver camp raised her like his daughter only to now be pronoced dead. her eyes sprung open realising Tovald is bringing her this news. "wait, he had a bounty on him you, you didnt kill him did you?" she asked with a shaky voice and pleading eyes for it not to be true.
