As you tell Margaret about the man, you can see she has been expecting this news for some time. "That's my brother. We came out here to search for our father. When my brother didn't return, I feared the worst. I suppose my father likely met the same fate out there somewhere." She thanks you for the information as she idly grasps a bird pendant around her neck.
