I listened only partially as the conversation after Nayash had awoken drug on, focusing more on making sure he didn't split the stomach or liver open when gutting the animals than actually talking. So when the mercenary asked why any of them should trust an accused murderer's word, he fell over off his stool in surprise, the loud thud, bringing everyone's attention back to me. "Ow..." Rubbing my head and sitting back up, I look at everyone. "So I zone out to clean meat and suddenly someone in here is accused of murder?" A couple fingers point towards Lord Armond and I blink twice before fixing my stool and sitting back down. "Right then, carry on."

Resuming work, I listen a little closer, noting that Caelyn asked Veragwen and Mara to speak private, causing me to frown. I also thanked my lucky stars that they couldn't see it. [i]Do they really want us to trust them when they're still keeping secrets and whispering behind our backs? I mean, I can understand it to a degree, but you...no, nevermind, I'm just with them to the city of Bale after all. At least, that's how they want it and that's how they'll get it.[/i] I wasn't embittered towards them, being as I had shown up late to the party and all, but they could be just a little more open with the guy who joined the group first.
