I can relate a bit.
This talk made me realize that I was lost too.
Suddenly being reincarnated here with only the memory of my knowledge and skill with my instinct to survive I just carry on with my life.
"Dylan… life is important to everyone. Like you said, everyone seems to be finding their way to survive. Just like being thrown into a darkwood that has never been explored. You can slowly carve your own path little by little so the people behind you can follow the right path that you started."
He tilt his head and look at me with complicated eyes. His elbows rest to his knee. His palm was at his cheek.
It was a rare sight for me to have this manly sigh in front of my eyes. I felt slightly hot at my cheek.
"Why stop? Go on"
"Life is unexplored darkwood. We don't know what is ahead of us but we still need to move forward. But sometimes, we need to stop for a while, look around and make a decision. Either go right or left. Or maybe just go straight, clear the path and make a turn to make another path. Just make sure the path was clear so we can always make a turn to see what left behind and make sure there was no one lost"
"Hmmm… interesting please go on"
"I have said enough. I am already late to make your dinner. Besides , you are wise person I am sure you understand what I said perfectly"
His lips curve a smile. He slowly put his hair back on his head. Then he got up from the bench.
He looked at me who was sitting at the bench. And he let out a laugh like my face was some hilarious joke.
"Don't make that old face to your cute face My Lady, not suit with such young small girl"
"Thank you will be enough.and how old are you to look down on my age so much?"
He raised his eyebrow and chuckle.
"Well… I will be turn 18 in just few months"
I got up from my seat, felt a bit annoyed by his laugh and I was ready to walk away.
"You are not that old either. Stop looking down on me."
My soul was 25 years old and resides in this 15 years old body. Sure it was weird to other people. But he was younger than my soul.
"How about I lend a hand to you making dinner as an apology?"
"There was no need. I can manage"
He still follows me to the kitchen. There I saw Sir Boru and Darryl. Seems Darryl brings his family to the Inn.
Their house was flooded. The river suddenly rose to the shore and it reached their house.
Darryl says a few houses are affected too, and they probably will arrive soon. Boru let them stay at the dorm for free. Like I said, Boru was such an amazing human being.
Anne was coming to the kitchen and asking me if I could manage to prepare more food. She looks calm but I can sense her anxiety about this unexpected flood.
"I could help if you don't mind"
"Thank you, please lend a hand to V. Boru shows Darryl and his family to the dorm. And I need a help after that��
