But, to explain her actions and words that you have seen as best I can, someone did something to her that she found very unpleasant and offensive, so she got mad and wanted to beat that person up."

>There's a fair amount of activity at the tavern, but otherwise the streets are fairly quiet and empty, save for for a dog sniffing around near the smithy. Up above, you can see that Orchard Island is still there. It seems a little further away, but you're not sure, it might just be a trick of your eyes.
