Tarkleigh "Still alive are we?" Does he know anything else?

Glad to see you around.
Welcome, brave friend.
Buy or sell, I can help you.
You came to barter, eh?
Got some wares to trade (with you).
Right.
What now?
How goes your journey?

It's too late, it's a thing now.

Every greeting should involve him surprised you are alive. I like it that way.

"You actually survived that?"
"Didn't expect to see you back"
"Graves been dug.....I see you won't need it quite yet"
"I expected to see you.....elsewhere"
"You avoid death again?"
"The longer time passes, the more I expect you dead"
"You keep returning, how?"
"Death stalks you, yet you live on"
"Are we playing Scrubcore? there's no way you've made it this far without a death"
"Never expected you to get past Hillock, yet here you are."

"YOLO"
