Paying A Visit
The Black Ranger made port at the Stormwind harbor with the early afternoon sun shining down upon the captain as he stepped out of his quarters. Henreth took in a deep breath of the harbor air. A scent that may reek to some, but to those that love the ocean, the salty air is a fragrance of home. Securing his rapier in his holster, he made it across the ramp that led to the docks, “Scrub her down good, men!” He paused and smiled to the young woman that had just joined the crew. Wriggling his fingers he spoke with a soft gentleman tone, “And lady.” Henreth reached to remove his hat and give a polite bow of his head, but was quickly reminded of its absence. He brought his hand down to grip the hilt of his rapier and gave an awkward sort of nod of his head, instead. The woman whom is feared by nearly the entirety of the crew rolled her eyes and went back to work. He mumbled something about the hat he so dearly loved and paid no mind to the woman’s behavior, “Probably still laying at the bottom the ocean between here and Kalimdor.” The captain cleared his throat and shouted once more as he stepped from the ramp onto the docks. “And load her down before sundown!” he reminds the crew as he hastily heads toward the city.
Footsteps close in on the front door of the Lord and Lady Holt, but suddenly stop. Henreth halts dead in his tracks, gasping out at the horrendous sight before him. The captain brought his hand to cover his mouth and spoke behind his fingertips, “I am surrounded by death.” He walked over to one of the fallen and caressed it gently with the cup of his hand, “Such delicate and beautiful innocence gone from this world far too soon.” His bottom lip quivered as a dried petal fell loose and drifted to the ground. Wasting no more time he rapped his knuckles upon the Holt Townhouse door quite vigorously, “I know you’re in there you murderous scoundrel! You can’t hide from Captain Henreth Malone! Henreth continued to knock, despite his knuckles quickly growing sore, “Out with you!”
