[b]”Yeah ya lil pipsqueak. I heard the rumors too. I’ve seen the guards draggin’ people off.”[/b] Derian pulled away from the iron door before continuing, [b]“Foolhardy cowards, the whole lot of ‘em. Couldn’t even take me one on one.”[/b]

Derian began to walk towards the rest of them. He found it prudent to ignore the pipsqueak meditating. Gods forbid his interrupt the little runt while he was wasting his time contemplating escape when he wouldn’t even be able to survive the first few guards they came across. Or so Derian had believed given the overall appearance of the young scamp. What help would that little kid be anyway - built like a wet paper bag and all. 

[b]”Sayin’ we volunteered is like thinking that little runt over there is going to get through the guards.”[/b] Derian scoffed with chuckle and a grin, [b]”I’ve missed out on this nonsense for decades… I guess they finally wised up and sent a whole lot of ‘em to drag me in.”[/b] Derian scuffled across the ground and took up a sit against the wall near the other two who had opted to sit on the cold stone floor. [b]”Wait until Stromm hears about this, he’ll have all of Oakport on bent -”[/b]

Derian was interrupted before he could finish his hyperbole. The metal door ricocheted off the wall, rattling its hinges and showering the ground with dust. Two girls of no particular note other than they were twins had entered. He did not find them particularly attractive but hey, with the slim pickings they’d be all the excitement Derian needed on the journey back from this hell hole. 

[b]”Side from beatin’ the hell outta some guards, I don’t got much else to offa.[/b] Derian looked towards the door as it slammed shut leaving the two girls locked inside with the rest of them. [b]”Sounds like ya got some insider info, wanna let us in on the secret?”[/b] He quipped turning his attention towards Daha.
