Fair enough. Point is, as soon as it is possible for him (Probably in my next post), he'll either run off or still be face-first in the mud. 

That's my prediction for Malkus. He hasn't exactly made a great first impression, and honestly I'm not certain how everyone would react to him. I'm kinda assuming everyone just wants him dead, and I've yet to find evidence that says otherwise. Maybe not any reason to think everyone wants him dead either, but between the tossup of the two I'm placing bets in the "Is likely dead" side. After all no one wanting him dead is a good thing, which isn't something I'm too worried about. People wanting him dead is something I kinda have to do something about, or at least mention that he would want to try to do something about it.
