Hugh nodded at Sana, and smiled. "Sorry to put you on the spot like that." He said, standing next to her. He didn't want to make Ellyn feel stupid, he just felt paternal instincts kick in. "I know she's worried." He said quietly to Sana. "But an orc? I've seen what they do. I've seen their culture." He sighed. If this orc was somehow different from the ones Hugh had met, he would have some atonement to perform, even though he still had many things to atone for. 

Hugh glared at Artos, "Paladins don't exist in the wastelands, past civilization, and there are no paladin mercenaries." He said. "There is no survival for those who wish to do good for everyone they come across. There is no civilization out here and there is no justice and order." He had dropped his paladin ways to survive away from the purge. They had looked for paladins and the only way to lose their tail was to not be a paladin. 

Just then, the orc woke to Hugh's great surprise and even greater was his surprise at how polite the orc was. He had never seen such a polite orc. The orc spoke with great honesty, telling of how he had encountered skeletons and was out seeking revenge. Hugh knew revenge all too well and would warn this orc against it, but he just stayed silent, figuring it best to head back to the wagon and ready himself to roll out again. 

He was feeling a little pissed off with Artos and he disliked the hushed words he spoke into the orc's ears. It appeared to be distrust. Hugh figured at the moment that he had no reason to fight this orc as it appeared to be strangely polite. "I've never seen anything like this." He muttered as he walked along next to Sana. It was quite apparent that she was feeling very similar to Hugh, at the time being.
