[b]"Do as you will sir. You're the employer now I only do as ordered. Just don't expect me to share your philosophical side. I don't intend in charging into a situation against people who will die even if I can get to them.

And...in the end no one was hurt and as soon as the cling of his blade reattached with his sheath the desk spilt in near perfect half right next to Xavier. [B]"That's strange...I thought I[/b] he started before the chair did something similar. Overall nothing was harmed besides the furniture. [B]"I'm out of shape normally they fell in four halves...whatever. I'm sorry for taking you by surprise sir. I just like to show I'm not all talk. Well I'll be leaving now...I'll go set myself up in the barracks...[/b] Carn said in his usual monotone plain voice as he walked away and tossed the lord a bag of coins he took from the bandits behind his back. [B]"That should pay for the damages."[/b] Carn wondered if his little display fooled them or not. Be it he did or he did not fool them hardly mattered though his speed spoke for itself. While he never was a monster of death on the field of war he was quick enough to close gaps and kill whenever he needed to. He didn't need to slice something in four halves. Only two. One good sword swing solved many problems.
