"[color=00aeef]You honor me good cleric by suggesting I join you and the revered paladin. And while a dragon's hoard may be wonderful for looting so might an undead emperor. I also see a song of the vanquishing of a legion of undead quite possibly doing better.[/color]" James didn't fail to notice the glare nor the mistrust spoken by Kethan. "[Color=00aeef]I will also echo in agreement that we go to the library. Perhaps our scholar will be of great use here.[/color]" 

He couldn't say the cleric's mistrust was invalid, James is a thief in true. However as a rule he followed, James has never stolen anything from his friends or those he works with. Not that anyone here would care nor would it make them trust him anymore. Regardless of what they may think it was a way to do good. It was one of the only things James knew and he did give much to the orphanage in Valera. It gave some comfort to him knowing that others might not know the hardship he did in his youth.
