(Not sure if it's intended, but i imagine Kreutznauer talking with a british accent now. Mostly cause he said 'blimey'.)

Nodding in agreement, Laura downed her glass and paid for the drinks. Life problems could wait, though she recently heard about a neutral faction looking to recruit new members. Maybe she could try signing up with them sometime in the future?

She emerged from the cafe into a literal warzone, at least, it seemed like one. Everyone was panicked and shouting angrily, she spotted the group surrounded by an angry mob that looked ready to rush them at any moment, and jogged over concernedly to help.

"Easy for you to say, you city-folk have no idea what it's like out here. They come EVERY NIGHT! Carry off people in their sleep, the walls don't do shit against em'! " the mayor ranted.

"Oh we tried girl," he turned a rabid look to Platinum. "We call and call again, 'Send some Hunters, we need help' we tell them, and they NEVER come. Village like us's just a stain on their maps, we heard every excuse they have to give, point is they just don't give a damn!"

At this point he completely broke, actually sobbing incoherently while those around watched awkwardly. "You're our last hope... they won't send anyone else, please don't go...." he begged pathetically. Confusion replaced anger, and the situation gradually lost it's danger.

Laura could only feel sad at the whole prospect. She gambled with a really serious promise. "Look, now we know you're here and need help. I promise we won't ignore you like everyone else. We can do something about it, tell people, spread the word about you."

The mayor looked up hopefully, and she continued. "Do you understand? Let us go, and we'll come back with help." the promise was empty, she didn't have any authority to demand this kind of favor. But with the VBC's coverage and Walking with Grimm, maybe people would finally notice the village and do something.

The mayor looked around him, at his villagers who's faces showed fear and hope at the same time. An eternity of deep thought later, he sighed deeply.

"Go." he told the group, and shrewdly returned to his home. Following his example, the angry mob soon dispersed.
