[color=fff79a]"Mercenary, soldier of fortune, sellsword, and many other names. My mother and father were both mercenaries, my mother turned to the sword as oppose to whoring her body, while my father was simply a foolish youth who knew nothing but how to swing a club."[/color] Catarina said with a giggle. Despite how she described her parents, it seemed more like a modest jest then insults. [color=fff79a]"As for my armor and sword, well isn't that a story to tell. Ah, but walking through the streets is hardly the best place to do that. But perhaps if you and I can get some... Private time, we can talk more about my equipment."[/color] Laced with innuendo, Catarina wiggled her eyebrow at Vivian as she put her helmet on. Catarina felt that if she didn't, the elf might get distracted from the more important matters at hand.

Sighing Parum looked at the barbarian. She was fairly confident she could shank him dead before he could even lower his staff, but this was hardly the best place to do that. Thanks to this fool, people were watching. She needed to defuse this situation quickly. The masked man offered her a deal: work with him and she could come along, and even survive. He made it clear however that this wasn't a deal, but an extortion. But two could play at that game. [color=brown]"You make a compelling argument. However I doubt this city would take kindly to orcs within it's walls. Less so if they're treacherous and threaten it's good people. But I think we can both work together, as equals in this arrangement, less our strength fail us."[/color] Just by mentioning the word orc caught most of the stable hand's attention. There was only a few, but now all eyes were on the orc. Parum could tell this man was a half-orc from the way he smelled; that faint scent of brutality and scorn she's all too familiar with these people. [color=brown]"You and your people need me. Now whether or not I have some need of you depends on your cooperation. So how about it?"[/color] Parum raised her hand to seal the deal.
