Everyone oddly became more friendly when they met Melva in town as she went to the market to sell her game animals. She met some of the farmers and the merchants and they all greeted her good morning when they had never spared her a glance before she had left Ichorhold.
What made it different this time? Was it because of her expensive-looking hunting dress that she had brought from the Nightwind Manor? Or was it because she came with Vance this time and somehow the news had spread that he was the demon they had been afraid of so they were trying to be nice to her in fear of getting devoured?
She had no idea because she did not know these people well. They had avoided her with all their might before. There was no chance for her to get to know them. Now that she had come back, they were all mysteriously treating her like a noble from a rich country. It was weird no matter how she thought about it.
