[What a boring NPC. To think, she thought she was done with this shit... Damn it, Charles. What did you do now?]

Yuh-huh, escort quest start, or whatever.

[She doesn’t bother looking behind to see if he’s keeping up, because even if their walking speed was excruciating slow sometimes, NPCs in this kind of quest would always lag behind the protagonist. If they got lost, they’d call for help! And more tempting, she could drop the quest off her list and forget all about it.]

What’s the reward, anyway? There’s always something, or it’d be a total waste of time.
