Ntaaj was rather glad things turned out well, though he was starting to get annoyed with the boy. He needed to both speak up more and stop acting so passive. If he couldn’t get an ounce of assertiveness into the boy, he was going to get run through. If not by Ntaaj, than by bandits. Ntaaj turned towards the boy and cuffed him lightly in the face to get him to quieten. [B]”Shaddup! You're suppose to save your village. How do you intend to do that if all you do is grovel like a coward?”[/b]

Ntaaj turned to the woman who helped him out. He never trusted someone who was a smooth talker, but at least she was on his side… Hopefully.  He walked up to the woman and spoke quietly so no one overheard. [B]”Thanks. The name is Ntaaj. Your guardian, huh? We'll need to discuss my contract… Later. For now, let's try to sell some of these goods.”[/b]
