By the time the man, Marthysan was it? By the time he finished talking, the Magus determined that he wasn't trying to trick them into anything, but that did not mean that he trusted him indefinitely. No, he would be ready to fight the man if he had to, even if he had won the tournament the year before, Paladins didn't always have to be Good, there were oath breakers for a reason. [color=dda0dd]"I will accompany you Ming,"[/color] Hanani informed his companion, his arms crossed over his chest as he spoke, stepping up beside the woman, [color=dda0dd]"Can't have you going to a man's quarters alone now can we?"[/color] The last bit was meant as a joke, or as close to one as Hanani ever got considering he was rather bad at making them. So much so in fact that he had been known to start fights simply because someone could not tell that he wasn't serious about the words he had said and simply thought him to be rude and inconsiderate, sometimes just down right vulgar. Ok, maybe he was those three things at times, but even he knew there was a time and place for that and clearly right now just wasn't it. Who would pass up the potential opportunity to learn about the Tournament from someone who had already beaten it? If Marthysan wanted to offer up some information, he wasn't one to turn it down, Knowledge is Power they say, he would be stupid for turning his back on such a gold mine. Of course, Mercy wasn't too happy about this, but Hanani didn't much care at the moment. The Sword would have to deal with the fact that they were going to be spending some time with a former Champion, picking his brain for information that he seemed more than willing to give them at the moment. If he wanted to see them win, then that was just what they had to do considering it was clear that they may be the only ones who didn't know very much about this tournament. Even Hanani and all his reading hadn't come across it, which means he had to just take Marthysan at his word and believe that he was the last Champion, not that he wouldn't remain skeptical the whole time. It was just who he was and if anyone expected any less of him then he was sorely disappointed in them. [color=purple][i]'You're really going to agree to let Ming and everyone else go with this guy? Come on, let's just ignore him and go stab at a few people... I'm bored,'[/i][/color] Mercy whined, causing Hanani to roll his eyes. [color=dda0dd]"For a sword you are awefully whiny you know,"[/color] he muttered to his blade, if he hadn't looked crazy before he probably did now, problem with sentient weapons? No one else could understand them and you talking to them looked like you were a few marbles too short upstairs.
