[color=ed1c24]"Listen, ya' miserable excuse for a colleague in the arcane arts. First off mate, ya' gave us the offer to come inside, and since ya' were waitin' for the orc to arrive here, I went ahead and came up. Secondly, I didn't pick up and move everythin' around, I picked up one staff and immediately put it down, but thank ya' for the compliment that I have balls. Lastly, this is a blank tome, and I was goin' ta ask ya' what kinda spell should be put in it."[/color] The half elf was visibly annoyed. He left his home and family behind, and was offering a bit of help with this job, but even so he wished the wizard was a bit more kind to his coworkers. [color=ed1c24]"All of that piss out of the way, I'm Westley Stride. I was raised in a region where humans and elves both coexisted, but if they were to mate together, the child would be shunned for the rest of their life, and beaten up on a regular basis by older kids, younger kids, even the elderly. I left the region where I grew up to go pursue a career in magical aptitude, when I noticed that the head city of the humans and such was so shitty that not even the dirtiest arse in history could amount to it. After gainin' wind of a supposed war, I came here in hopes of a new life where I could maybe be seen as an equal. I'm not takin piss from nobody, I've already dealt with that, and I have a code that forbids me from killing kids or gnomes."[/color] A lot of the anger in Westley's voice was gone by now, and replaced with a calmer tone that could be seen appealing to the diplomatic and scholarly. He patted the UFO beside him on the top, keeping it from becoming hostile towards Yashar. [color=ed1c24]"I came to help you, maybe make a few connections, and possibly start anew here as a teacher of the arcane after I get some gold to start off with, probably gained from this task of retrieving this artifact that you desperately desire so much."[/color] Westley finished talking and went back to writing in his tome, trying to further it's arcane capabilities. [color=ed1c24]"Also, hit me and my buddy right here will shoot you through the skull. He won't because I'm keepin' him calm, but if you touch him, he will go mental."[/color]
