THEChanger's Curse of the Crimson Throne: Edge of Anarchy

[MesiDoomstalker]

Dirkust had been watching the proceedings silently. He had let out small sigh as the blade was removed from the despicable guard's neck. He listened to Gavin's heartfelt pleas and Verik's frank confession. When Gavin's demeanor changed, Dirkust got on edge. Jumping, literally, as the former guard unleashed a torrent of bile and hate at his former coworker Dirkust stared in shock and horror. After Gavin had tossed Verik with a sucker punch, Dirkust moved his legs before his brain knew what he was doing. Stepping directly in front of Gavin, Dirkust realized he was being incredibly stupid given the man's clear height advantage. Mustering to his full height, he spoke with an even tone at his companion. Gavin. Calm yourself. He isn't worth it. He isn't worth anger, the anguish. Don't let him have this power over you. Don't let him control you. Calm. Please. Dirkust stared into Gavin's eyes, hoping his words brought sense back to his disgruntled... friend? Were they friends? Dirkust hoped so.
