▒█▐ ❝ I did not take you for a COWARD, after seeing the things
you are capable of, my Lady. I do not claim that it will be an
easy quest to fulfill, but we have BRAVERY and the good will
of Helm on our side! I have faith that we can win this fight and
free the lands of this pest! Trust in your strength, my Lady, and
in that of your companions. ❞ Dyna wasn’t the only one getting
increasingly frustrated with the course of their conversation.
Why could she not see that he was right about this? Anomen
did not urge her to consider Nalia’s offer for the money ( and it
almost offended him that she seemed to think so ) - he had only
mentioned it to disprove her argument of being forced to take on
pathetic quests for the sake of earning badly needed g o l d.
It was GLORY and fame he sought, heroic deeds that would find
their ways into bard’s songs and carry his name across the lands,
perhaps to the ears of the Order, to prove his noble heart and his
value to them.❝ But of what help can they be? You are aligning
yourself with a guild of criminals and low-lives who - without doubt
- will use your gold for more crime and injustice, and might not
even be able - or WILLING - to be of help to us. ❞ The bard’s words
left him taken aback for a moment, the harshness of the unspoken
implied in them coming rather unexpected. He let out a small huff
and raised his chin lightly. ❝ I can see you are not all too PASSIO-
NATE about our travels together. Have I not proven myself worthy
of being your companion? But perhaps you prefer the likes of ill-
mannered sorcerers and simple-minded mercenaries. Be that as
it may, it is your decision, I can tell when my counsel is unwelcome. ❞
