It wasn’t at all surprising to anger Tyrion. Preston did steal 200 gold from the man, and it also wasn’t a surprise that he would lash out at Preston for having done so.
It all started when Tyrion had found Preston outside the Slaughtered Lamb, leaning up against the building and gently petting his puppy. Initially, the guy was going to pay Preston to insult someone inside the Lamb, and would’ve paid Preston 20 gold each to chant the insult around in the Lamb ten times. His mistake is, however, that the man had given Preston all 200 gold before Preston actually committed to such action. With a snicker, Preston would pocket the coinpurse filled with the 200 gold and would move off the wall. “Pleasure doing business with ya.” Preston would say as he limped forward. Tyrion was taken aback by Preston’s sudden actions, and would be quick to follow behind.
“Hey!” he would shout behind the limping boy. “Get back here! I’ll kill ya, boy!” but Preston would not stop. He wouldn’t be getting anywhere quickly, but he would definitely be set on continuing on.
They all stopped outside the Stockades, where Preston’s trail was blocked by the raging man himself. People have taken note of the commotion, however, and would as usual come to Preston's aid; one of them being Preston’s ‘uncle’ himself. His uncle, Doyce, would actually try to pick up Preston and carry him out of the area, seeing as Preston’s limp was slowing him down. They would only be halted by the raging man, whom had used Void energies to hinder Doyce’s movement. The other passersby would make the attempt to prevent the man from committing to such foolish actions, and with the Stockades being mere feet away, there was the threat of guards involving themselves.
With that, Doyce would eventually commit to dropping Preston to the ground so he could raise his staff and cast lunar energy on the armored fellow. The man almost didn’t even stagger, but did grunt in response. In the meanwhile, Preston would try to get to his feet and make another escape as per usual.. only to be stopped by a sudden force to the back that had easily knocked him back on the ground. “Just leave me alone, will ya?!” Preston would call out, looking over his shoulder at the man.. whom would be glaring directly at the boy.
“I will leave you alone when you give my money back!” the man shouts, and would soon look in all directions at the crowd. “You all are going to let this child steal from me?!” he questions. “You want him to become a criminal one day?!” little does he know, Preston has always been a criminal. “Is that what you want?!” no one seemed to care about the man’s words, the one thing that had really set them off was that the man actually went ahead and attacked a child.
Preston would try to get back onto his feet, petting his dog whom would be standing right beside him.. glaring and growling at Tyrion. "You obviously don't care if I become a criminal!” Preston shouts back. “You’re paying me to -insult- people.. what does that make you?! Not a saint, that’s for sure!”
“...you know, for once.. I agree with Preston.” a gnome named Dangle would say to Preston as he stood in front of him. Tyrion, after a while would finally turn around and take his leave. When he comes back, it is to apologise to Preston and the others for lashing out in anger. He claimed to have anger issues, and even states that people call him ‘The Monster’.. and that he is practically controlled by something named ‘Dra’con’. He apparently doesn’t want to be corrupted, nor act as such.. but he claims to be out of control of his rage and such. When all was said and done, the crowd had finally dispersed.. moreso thanks to the sudden loud music that came from Doyce’s chopper. Soon enough.. Preston would've left as well, with his dog loyally behind him.. also driven away by the loud music.
