One of my first assignments doing mercenary work was guarding a child. You start to see those kids as your own after a while. You tend to get that way with some people you guard.

Marty nods slowly. Oh...I see. You know, I'm glad you're working here...I've been with this inn for two years...we've had dragons attack...some weirdo living underneath the place, and even an attack on me...This guy came in here and attacked me...Vierzt, you know...except a while back...He broke my wrist...
Thanks. I'll do my best to make sure the place doesn't get torn up any worse. By way, with regards to Vizert, since he's Trissy's brother, I'd be willing to deal with him in a less than lethal fashion if he comes in again, if he's that much of a bother.
Er...please. I could care less for that psycho, but I"m not sure Trissy would appreciate me hurting her brother any more than necessary.
Evan gives a conspiratorial wink and grins.
Or you could just say, "Oh gee Trissy, Evan went a little bit overboard. I didn't mean for him to do THAT much."
Marty grins back softly. Well...I guess..I could do that. Haha. :smalltongue: Marty has seen much pain, but he can still smile. Even after the snows...
Evan's grin widens.
Fair warning, I might charge an extra one time fee for taking a beating from your wife.
Marty smiles. Ah, well....Of course. It would be worth it.
Especially for me.
Evan says in a tone of voice that suggest he wouldn't mind being beat up by Trissy.
It might freak Marty out for a second before he realizes that Evan is kidding. :smalltongue:
Marty is rather freaked out, but then realizes Evan's joking. "Oh, bahaha" he chuckles.
Seriously, you need to learn to relax. That's why Vizert messes with you. You seem like a stiff breeze might blow you over.
Marty frowns. What does that mean?
You're a timid guy. People like Vizert pray on people who don't stand up for themselves.
Marty just looks down solemnly.
Evan stands up.
Y' know what? I'm gonna help you.
Marty backs up a little. Er...how so?
Teach you how to handle yourself.
He frowns. ..How...would you do that?
I could teach you a bit of self defense.
Er...why? I know a...little bit...
The old drow watches in silence, laughing at Evan's flirty joke, but frowns at the mentioning of Vierzt. Vierzt is here too?
Marty growls. He had to be removed..
Evan nods.
Like I said. I'll deal with him when he returns. By the way, Trissy has been up there for quite some time.
He snorts. Was a feisty little baby.
Marty groans. She always takes long showers...
Evan raises his eyebrows.
That long?
The old man grins. Prettying herself up for you, I bet...
By the may, my name's Chesslyn.
My name is Evan. Nice to meet you.
Marty nods. Well...I suppose.
I'd go check on her. Plus she'd want to come down to see her dad.
