Jadier

Jadier could do nothing to stop the approaching dagger, and he quickly accepted his fate. In one last attempt at defiance, he spat in Deagan's face before being stabbed. His body stiffened in death...

OOC: Hooray! He's dead!

Flint Ironwood, Jadier's cave.

Flint arrived just in time to see it happen.
,,Damn!" He spoke out loud which naturally got Deagan's attention.
,,Alright, pal. Rule number 1: Don't hire people who hate assassinations." The Breton said as he drew his katana and his dagger. He did not intend to kill anyone, but with a bit of luck he could at least scare Deagan away from the corpse.



(Sorry, but you can't just walk away. )

Telina with Brianna.

The had been sneaking around for sometime, when something terrible struck down in Telina, a feeling of Jadier being dead, she had to find out.

"Brianna, hurry, we must get back", she shouted, and without waiting for her, she ran as fast as she could towards the cave...unfortunately, when she was a couple of yeards away from the entrance, she slipped, fell and then blackness consumed her...

OOC: Bit hurt, could need some medical attention

Deagan, Cave

"Just business..." Deagan said as he slowly and painfully sunk the dagger into Jadier's chest

He covered Jadier's mouth and slowly withdrew the dagger as Jadier died.

Deagan took a knee beside the corpse, wiped the sweat and spit from his face, and sat his dagger down beside him as he searched the body, finding nothing worth much value. He bent down and closed Jadier's eyes with his fingers in respect of his victim.

He wiped the blood from his dagger, placed it in his boot, and stood from the corpse. Deagan picked up his blade when he heard someone yell near the entrance to the part of the cavern he was in. A man emerged and began speaking to him so he spoke back.

"I had really hoped for this to happen without witnesses...I'm tired...but if you wish then I will fight you..." Deagan said slowly stepping closer to the man in case he decided not to let him pass

Deagan calmly walked toward the entrance, if this man tried to stop him then there would be trouble.

OOC: You wanting to fight Jack?

Arygon, was up in a tree when he heard Telina speak, he looked down from the tree. There were the two women, Telina had evidently just tripped. Arygon stayed in his tree keeping careful watch over them.

OOC: no reason to let them know that Arygon is near

OOC: Now this is just so sad!



Brianna, chasing after Telina

"Wait for me, damn it!" Brianna was a bit annoyed over the younger girl just running off without warning, but she followed as fast as she could......she caught up with Telina just in time to see her fall...

"Oh crap!, now she hurt herself!" Brianna kneeled beside her, noticed the wound in her head....so she rubbed her hands together to get them warm then sheput them on the wound...concentrating, just like her mother taught her....it was hard because she was panting with exhaustion from the rapid run and also she was scared......and the weird feeling of death......it made the healing-process a bit slower than normal, but it worked.....as usual...

She covered Telina with her cloak to keep her warm, then hurried back to the cave, with a most uneasy feeling in her gut......

"Jadier!" her voice was but a whisper, approaching the cave she sensed the smell of blood and other secretions.....and the knowledge stuck her.....Jadier was dead!

Almost beside the cave there was some heather-bushes and when she came close to the cave she noticed two men talking..immediately she sank down to her knees behind the bush.,.....listening to their talk, which filled her with horror...

She suppressed a scream.......it was true..Jadier was really dead!!!!!

Brianna sank into unconsciousness very quiet behind the heather-bush....

Flint Ironwood, Jadier's cave.

Flint watched Deagan carefully. He patiently waited for the man to make his first move.
,,I promised myself I would protect him. Now that I've failed, I will at least make sure that he will be properly buried by the people who loved him. And if you stand in my way, I may forget about my no-killing policy for once." The Breton said as he went into a defensive stance.





(Your choice, Kiln. You can walk away without a problem or get into a fight.)

Arygon slid down his tree, after seeing Brianna collapsing, and walked over to the both of them. He waved his hand in front of thier faces, spoke, and poked them. When none of this worked he checked the cave that they were near, he looked in, Jadier was dead on the floor, and Filnt and Deagan were standing each with a dagger in hand. Arygon walked back over to the ladies, lifted one over each shoulder, and walked away from the coming fight.

Brianna, on Arygon´s shoulder

She woke up...the world was jumping up and down...she was ...CARRIED by...someone!

"Let me down!" she shouted, kicking the man´s back ferosciously, "You bastarde, let me down I tell you!!"

She kicked even harder....the man groaned but didn´t let go of her...



OOC: Poor Arygon..always misunderstood!

Telina, Arygons shoulder

Telina, woke up by the sound of Brianna screaming, and kicking...suddenly the man who was carrying them, dropped them both...probably since Brianna had kicked him in a place not too good to be kicked in.

Telina, saw the face of Brianna...the sorrow in it was painful just to watch, and she tried to comfort Brianna.

The attempt to calm her, ended with Telin, suddenly vomiing, and then sinking to the ground again...probably beacuse the hit she had gotten in the head, as well the grief of her almost father getting killed....if just Gorrmund was here...

Brianna, on the ground again, beside Telina

For a short moment Brianna suppressed the sorrow about Jadier, as she noticed Telina didn´t feel well at all, her head was by no means totally recovered!

"Tel......there now, let me help you"

She held her as she vomited and wiped her face with a corner of her shirt, then she took the youinger girl in her arms....just held her..

"Telina" Brianna said, "We just have each other now, at least until we find Gorrmund, so let´s try to endure this, shall we? We must get away somehow, we must find Gorrmund!" Her voice was merely a whisper, she didn´t want the strange man to hear her!

Telina, in Brianna's arms

Telina listened as the voice of Brianna came to her, and felkt that she relaxed a bit, and she opned her eyes again, some tears emnated from them,and ran down her cheeks.

"Brianna, I'm-I'm just so...I dont know what to do...I cant consentrate, and I'm afraid, just...please dont leave me", she sobbed, and now the tears was really flowing.

OOC: She is a bit sensitive sometimes...

Rahvin

Rahvin (And Esethir, should Konrad decide to follow) had been at a loss as to which way to go when one woman fell and the other ran back towards the cave...

He had followed the one that went to the cave, only to watch her fall unconscious. He had been about to move towards her, but a strange man came and pick her up.

Instead of following, he turned his attention to the cave, where Flint and Deagan stood, seemingly about to fight.

He stepped in after listening to the exchange of words between them.

"Flint, it's three against one here." he said. "Deagan and I are here, and his altmer friend is ready to come out if necessary. You can either leave now, or join Jadier in the afterlife."

Arygon, was too buzy feeling the pain in his... spotted owl... to notice any conversation between the women. Why would she have done that? Oh, right, he was carrying them over his shoulders... Arygon stood, as best he could, and looked at the two sobbing women, well it gave him a chance to recover from that kick. He ooked at them, well at least they hadn't noticed it was him yet, they'd probably run away again...

Flint Ironwood, in Jadier's cave and big trouble.

Flint cursed under his breath. Just brilliant.
"Alright, then I suppose I'll have to get reinforcements." He thought.
,,Come and get me!" He shouted.
He then launched a telekinetic blast from his katana at Deagan while spinning around and swinging his dagger at Rahvin. He then ran past Rahvin back to the entrance of the cave.


(Alright, the dagger is enchanted with a drain fatigue spell in case you want to know. Also, he wants to get back to Gorrmund and company and use them as reinforcements.)

Brianna, with Telina

"Of course I won´t leave you" Brianna wanted to scream out her sorrow about Jadier, but she had to be strong now...for Telina´s sake, the girl needed her to be.

She gently rocked her to sleep, then put her down beside a tree, covered her with the dirty wet cloak.....and sneaked nearer the cave, she wanted to see the outcome of the conversation between those men......now one of them apparently was a "friend" of Jadiers.......

Brianna crouched just outside the cave, attentive....

Arygon sat there watching the women sat there and care for each other. He was used to it, to say the least, only one woman had ever given him respect, and that was only becuase he could down more flin than anyone. He watched Brianna crawl over to the cave enterance, he decided to intervene there. He pulled her back "You don't want to do that, Flint is going to lose and thier going to come out right there." He said as he pulled her away from the door.

Brianna,outside the cave

"You??? Again?" she hissed, "Why don´t you leave me alone, they killed my man and I´m gonna avenge him"

She broke loose from Arygon´s grasp, and looked at him with angry fiery eyes

" A few people have said that I don't know when to quit... the last was Vivic, he didn't think I could kill him." Arygon replied to her. The stare he got from her could have burned through him, if it was Magicka. Fortunatly it was only rage, Arygon had often dealt with angry women, but usually had the choice of killing them. Telina was breathing lighter now, sleeping soundly proped against a boulder. Well, he had to move them somehow, he decided on the easiest way. He grabbed Telina and Brianna's hand, and activated his Recall Glove. A phase of Golden- Yellow light later, they landed in a pile in his cave.

OOC: If you want girls I can change this. (not on emotional bases tho)

Deagan, Cave

Deagan simply stepped from the path of the magical projectile and moved towards Rahvin after the third man left the caves.

Well at least I didn't have to deal with him...

"I could have handled that...and I got Jadier." Deagan said as he sheathed his blade and tightened the gloves on his hands

He stepped from the entrance of the cave and wiped his face with his sleeve before seeing a bright golden flash a few feet away in the bushes. He peered in that direction before shaking his head and looking back to Rahvin.

"Were you able to find the others?" Deagan asked

Rahvin

"Well...I did know where they were." he replied. "Judging by that glow, though, I'd say they could be anywhere."

He went on to explain how the man picked up the two women and carried them. He had though to track them after helping Deagan, but that idea was now impossible to fulfill because of the recal spell.

Unless...

"We have to track Flint." he said unexpectedly. "If he's having moral issues, he'll want to warn our targets. He's going to lead us straight to him."

"And if 'Flint' doesn't know where they are? You're best off killing him, he knows to much," came a voice directly behind Deagan and Rahvin. Sadril smiled queerly at the men's reaction to his undetected arrival (whatever those reactions may be).

He raised a hand, and answered a question he knew was soon to be asked, "No need to ask, Agnar sent me to see how things went. And apparently you," Sadril pointed at Deagan, "Screwed up. Whatever your next move will be, I will assist you," he lied as best he could (which is... the better than anyone else ) knowing that both of these men were skilled and wise and may suspect something.

Gorrmund had been struck with a strange feeling as he walked around the forrest, and became quite unaware of anything. His vision became narrowed, looking with a very small field of vision, and his balance seemed completely gone. He walked around the forrest feeling completely disconected from anything in Skyrim, as if his body and mind were walking in different directions. He thought that people were following him, which may or may not have been dillusion, and he started losing focus on his goal. What was he doing? His obscure goal. What was his goal? Getting to where he was going. Where was he going? To the conclusion point of his goal.

Seeing, or maybe feeling a cave, Gorrmund ran over to the "shelter". He didn't make it too far on his feet, as he tripped face down on the ground.

Deagan, Outside the Cave

Who the hell???

Deagan turned slowly toward the voice of the unexpected man and listened to what he had to say.

I screwed up? I did what I was supposed to do...what is this guy on about?

"Agnar sent you eh? Tell me, how was his dog? Was it feeling any better?" Deagan asked in a calm voice

Deagan stood there waiting for a reply, the answer would effect the outcome of the conversation. In truth, Agnar had no dog and if this new man tried to tell him about it he would know that his story was a lie.

Rahvin

Rahvin saw what Deagan was trying to do, but didn't see the point; the man was obviously willing to help. Something was odd about this person in front of him, and he couldn't tell what it was, but it made him seem very powerful.

Still, though, he pulled a dagger half way out of his sleeve. Just in case.

"I don't see how he screwed up too badly; there's a body back there, after all." he looked at the strange man in front of him before his eyes wandered off into the distance behind him.

Who was that?

"I think we should make ourselves scarce; someone just fell on their face in the snow out there, and I don't want to be blamed for a murder when he gets up."

Sadril frowned. "Just how in the hell would I know about his sick dog? I am a man of business, not a good friend of his.... Anyway..." he trailed off as a man collapsed in the distance and, surprised, he dodged behind a tree. ...Gorrmund

After what seemed like years, or maybe seconds, Gorrmund climbed out of his darkness. Pushing himself off the ground and picking up his sword (which he hadn't known he had brought with him in his raging trudge through the forrest), he stood on two feet. He thought over the situation, and realized he knew more than what should be possible. He felt like his father had died ages ago. Faint echoes in darkness that cound only cause a slight rememberance of deep wounds. He felt no emotion, no anger or sadness, no though of vengeance. Just, loss and darkness.

A single name ran through his head, hitting him hard along with a headache suddenly developing. Telina. "She can help" he thought.

Flint Ironwood, Jadier's cave.

Flint had already activated his invisibility spell before he made it outside. He quickly jumped from one rock to another till he was above the entrance were no one could see him. He'd also left no traces during his climb. The perfect place for an ambush. He silently waited.

To his surprise, Gorrmund came running over and collapsed not too far from the Breton's hideout. Fortunately, the man soon got up again.
"Damn. I can't let those freaks kill him. I'll wait here and the moment they try to jump him, I'll jump them. Ambush the ambush." The Breton thought and smiled behind his mask.

Arygon tried to stand but Telina, still sleeping, was on top of him and below him was Brinanna. Not that it mattered, it was an awful twisting of arms and legs. Arygon managed to lift Telina up, then he rolled off to the side, leaving the two women in a pile. He lifted Telina off of Brianna and carried her over to a nearby Hammock, went back over to Brianna and lifted her into the other hammock. Arygon thought to himself, I forgot to leave a bed for myself. He went to his pile of things laying around, found a pillow, and layed down on the staircase, that led up to the landing with the hammocks.

Brianna, Arygon´s cave

She woke up, not knowing where she was and what really happened

"Telina, where are you? Ahhh there....hmmm my head hurts, must be from a spell, but who put a spell on us?...Ahhh that man again! Talking about stubborn men! What the heck does he really want from us?"

Brianna mourned and shut her eyes.....that man surely had some explanation to come up with......

Deagan, Wilderness

Deagan stood silently examining Sadril (though Deagan doesn't know his name) as he dodged behind a tree. Deagan didn't move an inch when he heard the noise, instead he examined the woods around him carefully watching for anyone that might interrupt their conversation.

Well he's easily startled...something falls in the woods and he hides...

"You're right, lets get out of here..." Deagan said

He moved his hand to the hilt of his sword in case someone attacked them.

"and a little more help couldn't hurt." He added as he looked to Sadril

I'm not gonna stay around here and catch the heat on this one...I'm out of here...

Deagan started cautiously walking off into the wilderness, unsure of where he was headed.

Arygon woke up, about 3 hours later, and wandered his cave. He realised that he was hungry, and the women would be when they woke up. He glanced at them, making sure they were still there, and went into his stores of food. He found some Scrib Jerky left over from his journey from Morrowind, some scrib jelly, bread, and a bottle of Vintage Brandy. Arygon lit a small fire in the ashes of his previous ones, toasted the bread. Then he dug out some plates, found some cups, and set up a meal for the women on the table at the far end of the platform. Arygon then left the platfrom, took off his armour, glancing at the gash in the side of his Chest plate, he then jumped into the water and started swimming. Had to keep in shape, else he'd get lazy and would probably get killed by the first assassin who found them...

Gorrmund felt a sharp, stinging pain in his head that overpowered his now splitting headache. He tried to stand and calm himself, but this mystery pain was too much for him. He crawled in the snow, half concious, trying to escape the phantom wound, but it did not depart. Darkness overcame him.

He woke up standing, surrounded by snow, trees and fear. Under him lay a road, which seemed to have simply appeared. Unable to wrap his head around his situation, Gorrmund started walking. The road felt farmilliar, as did the crossroad that it lead too, but nothing seemed tight at the time. He drew his Claymore and remembered slight moments of the past. He fell to the ground in exhaustion, and after what was probably thirty minutes, climbed to his feet. In a stuporous state of mind, he walked towards the brightest star in the sky. That was all that he remembered, excluding everything that happened before he saw the cave.

"Telina" the name was screamed through him. He felt like he was on the right track towards her, but that he got there going the wrong way.

Brianna, Arygon´s hideout

Brianna woke up, Telina was safely still sleeping, so she took a look around the cave. She noticed the table was nicely laid and ther was food! Then she felt how hungry she was.....so she took a piece of bread.......ah delicious, but where was the man? She looked outside,but no tracks of him, unless....hmm footprints leading to the river(?) sea(?) ....she followed them and when she arrived at the beach she spotted some clothing. She smiled.

Brianna sat down beside the clothes and waited ......


OOC: Ok DarkHunter...time for conversation huh?

Flint Ironwood, wherever Gorrmund is.

Flint watched how the Nord stumbled around like a drunk. He felt like he was being ripped apart between two conflicting loyalties. Should he guard over Gorrmund who clearly was in no condition to defend himself, or should he wait in the hope of getting Jadier's body from the assassins? The Breton thought for a while and concluded that Jadier would have preferred him to watch over Gorrmund.

Flint followed Gorrmund while making sure he remained invisible and left no traces. The same couldn't be said of Gorrmund though and Flint cursed the man in frustration. The assassins would have no problems if they tried to follow the man and Flint knew that he couldn't handle all of them.
,,These promises are going to get me killed someday." He whispered to himself. Flint was convinced that that day might be quite close.


(Alright, Gorrmund has a sneaky bodyguard.)

Arygon thought, as he tried some diving, the women were related, or loved Jadier, which meant Gormmund would be coming for them sooner or later. Gormmund and him hadn't gotten along very well the first time they met, and with the women in his cave, Gormmund would probably try to kill him... again. Arygon finished diving, climbed up on the oppisite bank of the pond, and was drying off, when he was reminded that he was in Skyrim, a blast of chilling cold wind blew through the cavern, he shivered. Then dived back into the water, he swam across and saw Brianna sitting on the bank, along with his clothes and armour. He climbed up, "Good Morning Brianna." Arygon said as he pulled his armour on, "if you would come with me we can find some more suitable clothing for you." He lead Brianna to piles of nobles, robes, skirts, shirts, and pants. "When you're done crawl thorugh the hole thats over there" Arygon pointed to the hole he was talking about, it was just below the platform the women had been sleeping on. Arygon entered the hole, climbed the corresponding staircase, and exited a trapdoor. He looked from his obervatory, high in the mountian, and saw the snow covered trees, the road, and very distantly Agnor's Manor. He enjoyed the view awhile longer, leaned against the railing and waited for Brianna...

OOC: Sure is

Brianna, crawling through a pile of clothes

" Good morning, stranger" Brianna hoped the strange man would intoduce himself, but no....instead he offered her clothes from an incredibly large but unorganised pile in his cave.....she was stunned, but decided to take advantage of the situation.

"Oh, where did all taht come from?" she asked

"He probably stole it....but nevermind...."


"Why don´t I wake Telina up, she could certainly have use for some new outfits"

"Goddamnit....who is he??"

She went over to the platform and gently shook Telina´s shoulder

"Telina dear..wake up, you won´t believe this"

Telina, Arygons cave...

Telina heard the sound of Briannas voice, coming through the darkness, and then she sat herself upright...

"What, where are we...what happened"...at least she felt better though, and the wound on her forehead was a bit smaller now.

OOC: Gorrmund is coming...:D

Arygon was leaning on his observatory railing when he realised, that he hadn't woken Telina, that and he didn't want to have to explain twice. He climbed down, and saw Brianna trying to wake a sleepy Telina. He decided to save them both some time. Arygon climbed the stairs to the clothing pile, chose the more 'feminine' things, carried them down, a great many of them there was too, and dropped them by Brianna. Arygon then tossed his armour aside, dived off the end of the platform and resumed his interupted swim.

Forrest in near skyrim

"hmm... thats fine, i could use the help. What with all the bandits here" Juliano smiled as he shaked the mixed elf's hand. He had sheathed his heavy blade as he collected the bandit's knives.

Juliano mounted apolllo and readied him self for the next few hours of traveling. As he had finished his preperations, he eyed Galadaile as he stood; and said "Hey! arent you getting on?" He smiled "it'tle be quite a way to falcreath if i wait for you to catch up!" He said playfuly.

Skoll Yggdrasil
Somewhere, not far from Jadier's Cave

Skoll and Fenrir made they're way through the deep snow like it was a road. Skoll had lived out in the wilds for so long that snow to his knees nearly didn't slow his speed at all. The trees got tighter as he continued wandering.
Then Fenrir caught the scent of something, Skoll could tell. Scent of either creature or man, Skoll let Fenrir lead the way through the forest heading from where the scent came from...

(OOC: Fenrir is Skoll's wolf for those who might not know - He's making his way near the location of Arygon. And I'm very sure Minque's character will be dressed when he arrives )

Arygon climbed out of the pond, shook himself, and went to climb the stairs, when he saw Telina and Brianna getting dressed. Arygon turned, blinked sevral times, and decided he could wait until they were done, but it was cold sitting there in soaked pants, so he ran to the clothing ladder, climbed up, and looked through the clothing for something his style, instead of all the frills. Arygon managed to find Cauis' Pants and Shirt, which were nicely enchanted with chameleon. Arygon pulled them on and glanced out of the clothing 'section.' He had a nice view of the entire place which meant that once again he glimpsed Brianna and Telina, 'Wow' ,he thought to himself, 'They take forever to get dressed...'

OOC: Fuzzy it appears that at the rate thier going they'll never get dressed

Rahvin

"He's gone." he remarked after Gormund walked away. "He's unimportant though; our only hope is to track Flint."

What Rahvin didn't know, is that the clumsy man that had just left was in fact Jadier's heir...

OOC: Maybe Sadril could shed some light on the situation?

Brianna, getting dressed(!)

She looked through the clothes, found a pair of leather-pants that looked very nice, tried them on...yes, excellent....Now then a shirt would be nice, it was a bit cold and she didn´t fancy standing half-naked when that man returned.

The first shirt was too small..she frowned, but of course due to her pregnancy her breasts had grown bigger.....She chose a soft linen-shirt, big and comfortable....then ended it all up with a broad leather-belt.....that´s it then!

"Telina, are you ready?" Brianna could hear some commotion from outside...someone was coming.....and coming fast...

Thiras, Stalking Gormmund

Thiras followed behind the man whose boot had been in a threatining position above him not too long ago. However, this situation seemed to be getting more and more interesting as time passed.

"Where is he going?" Thiras whispered to himself as he followed behind, as quietly as possible.

(OOC: The last few pages have really confused me, so I'm just tagging along if no one objects. )

Arygon was finished organizing everything up in the clothing 'section', so he glanced back down at the women to see if they were dressed, yet. As soon as he looked down, Brianna had finished dressing, and Telina was still sifting thorugh the clothes, Arygon watched her for a little then decided not to watch, as Telina was rumored to be able to read your mind, so he went to the very back of the clothing section and dug out his old collection of weapons and armour, prehaps the women would like to arm themselves?

OOC: So, planning on taking some armour, or a trusty foot-and-a-half of steel?

Flint Ironwood, following Gorrmund. (Who isn't?)


Flint noticed someone else following Gorrmund. The man was one of Gorrmund's gang, so Flint decided not to go for a confrontation yet. He could see they were getting close to a cave. Who knew what kind of nasty critters could lie in wait there. The other man had Gorrmund's back covered, so Flint went to his trusty invisibility and ran ahead.

He crawled inside the cave and took a good look. He rounded a corner and immediately turned around again, blushing behind his mask.
"Oops"

Flint sat near the entrance. It was probably best to wait with his entrance till the occupants of the cave had finished their current activity. He wasn't exactly the most civilized Breton, but he still had some sort of decency.

Brianna, Arygon´s cave

"Ok Telins..you ready?" She decided to go outside for a while, and when she rounded the corner she bumped into another man....


"Ohhhh.....you scared me....who might you be?" Brianna smiled when she spoke so the stranger could see she was friendly


"Oh but he must be ..hmm but..I remember him!"




OOC: Nope, no armour for Brianna.....just leather pants, a shirt, maybe a cloak..

Arygon, in the rocks above Flint noticed him right away, put the things he held down, and climbed down slowly as not to make a sound, then landed behind him. Arygon pressed the side of a glass dagger against the back of Flint's neck, "You're dead Flint" Arygon said smiling, "try listening more carefully, I dropped my shoe back there, and thought you'd hear me, ah I see why not. Nice view isn't it?" Arygon asked without a hint of modesty, or anything, except contained glee. Then he noticed Brianna standing just in fornt of Flint "Ummmmmmmm.... hello Brianna"

Flint Ironwood, at the entrance of Arygon's cave.

,,Flint Ironwood, mylady. I apologize, I did not mean to intrude." The Breton said as he stood up. He then pointed at the entrance were the aproaching Gorrmund could be seen in the distance.
,,This man appears to be a friend of lord Jadier. I have taken it upon me to protect him, but I am not quite sure if he knows that. Also I regret to inform you, but the lord walks this land no more. I tried to save his body, but the assassins forced me to withdraw. I am terribly sorry." Flint continued.
If necessary, he could still talk the way he was raised. Being the son of the local crime boss meant that you acted a lot more lordly than the actual lord.
,,I hope I did not startle you. Are you alright? It's been a while since we last met."

Suddenly, Flint could feel the tip of a dagger against his neck.
,,Are you so sure about that, Arygon? I am not deaf." He said before swiping the dagger with his arm while drawing his katana with the other. Not an advisable maneouvre normally, but the glass plating he hid under his clothes made it doable. Flint pointed his katana at Arygon before lowering it to the ground.
,,Nice to see you. Man, you sure get lucky with the ladies. What is your secret trick?" Flint said and laughed.


(Yes, he can talk polite if he has to. Thank Aureus, I got in some practice with the old fellow.)
