(Just so you know I haven't encountered H'aanit in the game yet so sorry if I get anything wrong. I forgot to say, feel free to leave your opinion in the comments. It helps me improve my writing thanks! Now on with the oneshot!)

Everyone has always wondered why H'aanit was always alone. Everyone was always dramatic saying she 'had a tragic past'. But the reality was, she didn't really like being around people. True she had friends in the party, but she  preferred to be alone. When people asked why she would just shake her head and carry on what she was doing. She would never tell anyone the reason why. So she kept it deep down, burying it in piles and plies of things that she needed to do. 

No one really mind that H'aanit wouldn't tell them. They would say in their minds If she wants to keep it a secret, then let secrets be secrets.

Then someone overheard her, speaking to herself.

Ophillia POV

I was in the inn with the rest of the group when Alfyn asked me "Hey Ophillia, could you get me some towels from the bathroom, please?" I nodded and walked to the bathroom which was on the second floor.

I was walking down the hallway and was about to open the door until I heard a voice. 'Oh.' I thought 'I'll just wait here until the person bathroom.' So the waiting started.

It was strange, that there was a long time to wait. But then the voice stopped, and started again. I leaned in so I could hear what the person was talking about. I don't mean to be rude or anything, I just wanted to see if they were done. It sounded like a girl's voice.

"Why do people think the reason why I like being alone is because of a tragic past? It's not the reason for goodness sake!"

I heard a smash and rushed inside. It turned out that H'aanit had broken the sink with her bare fists.

H'aanit POV

Fudge.

 Why did I break the sink? The owner will probably kick us out for breaking property. But then I heard "H'aanit?" I turned around in shock to find Ophillia standing not to far from the entrance of the bathroom. I was about to say something in old English until she said," Please don't get angry at me. I overheard you by accident, I'm sorry."

I asked her not to leave just yet.

 I needed someone to talk to. Immediately, I started telling her that I the reason I don't like being near people because I just didn't like being around people. She understood and nodded at everything I said.

I hope she really believed what I said.

After that, we both went down stairs. Alfyn said "Ophillia! What took you so long?" "Alfyn, H'aanit has something to say," Ophillia replied. What?! I never said that I would say it to the others. "If you're to scared to say it that's fine, i'll say it."

So she talked with Alfyn and he nodded his head sadly. "People won't believe it, but I understand not ever secret has to be dramatic."

3rd POV

So Alfyn told all the other travellers about the reason why H'aanit didn't like to be around others. They all understood and gathered at the main area of the inn. Tressa broke into tears and hugged H'annit like mad. 

Everyone couldn't believe such a simple reason could be the answer to such a dramatic choice.
