"Hello, I was wondering which way the nearest town is?"
Monty glanced at her. "You're leaving?"
Faye Yardley nodded. "Yes. If you have any letters you need delivered, I can take them with me since I'm heading that way."
Hearing her offer to carry a letter, Monty fell silent for a moment. "Come have some breakfast before you go. It takes a full day's walk to get to the nearest town from here."
If the system hadn't explicitly stated that helping Monty find her son was one of the ways to clear the Dungeon, she would have thought Monty was just a lonely old woman living by herself.
There were no signs of a second person living in the house, nor were there any things set aside for a son.
But that moment of hesitation let Faye Yardley know that Monty did have someone she cared for; she just didn't seem willing to talk about it.
Breakfast was mashed potatoes. Faye appreciated the kind gesture but firmly refused.
When she refused, Monty didn't say anything.
