[color=firebrick]”Tch. Sounds like the current lord.”[/color] Donny was obviously disdainful. He hitched his horse up to the wagon as he went on his own rant. Donny seemed to grow even more furious than he had before, even more then when he was fighting for his life against the wolves. [color=firebrick]”Some young fool, only a year or so older then me. His father, the previous lord, died recently due to an illness plaguing the lands. It was sudden. His son inherited the position but he’s always been a spoiled brat even now. Spends all his time hunting and playing with his sword instead of learning how to take care of his lands or learning a lord’s duty. So of course when he came to power the first thing he did was start using it. Increased our taxes to purchase furvious luxuries for his home, and buy arms and armor for his soldiers. But not to protect his lands, certainly not. No barely a month into his lordship and he conscripts the men in our village to join in him some foreign war so that he could gain glory and prestige.”[/color] Then Donny looked to Lance with a look of hatred in his eyes. But not directed to him, but just spite in general. [color=firebrick]”And it’s your kind of thinking that allows something like that to happen. ‘Maybe he’ll do some good’ or ‘at least he’s on our side’. Cowards talk I say. Instead of protecting his lands or working in his people’s best interests, he intends to sacrifice us just so he could have some tall tale to boast about and flex that flaccid cock he calls an ego. If this Odum is that type of person, this journey isn’t going to end well for him. I don’t care what powers you strangers have here, I’ll tolerate tyrants no more.”[/color] And with that, he saw Odum, Tawny, and Reina return. He snorted at their arrival. He had figured Odum would’ve put up more of a fight, perhaps arrive by opening fire first. Though Odum hasn’t done anything to personally bother Donny yet (aside from shooting his house and scaring his horse), he was mainly projecting his hatred of the lord o to Odum. When they finally got into the wagon Donny said nothing as the wagon took off. [color=firebrick]”Well take the road about ten miles towards the main village. There I’ll gather some more supplies, get information about the roads ahead, and speak to some others. It won’t take long. Go ahead and scout ahead if you wish, wolves typically stay out of the open roads but the same won’t be said of any brigands if they had decided to set up shop around here. Just be careful. If you’re going to scout, come back and tell us before you get ahead of yourself and pick a fight.”[/color]
