[i]Althalus[/i] [color=0072bc]"You don't trust me Darius? I'm wounded. To think that I would ever keep some of the winnings for myself. For shame, good sir. For shame!"[/color] Althalus pocketed the coins despite his drama, eyes turning to watch as Leith now made his way over from Henri. [color=00aeef][i]We're just becoming oh so popular aren't we? It'll be a wonder if we ever leave this area. Aramir and Danica had the right idea, bailing immediately.[/i][/color] He thought idly, waiting for the albino to get closer. [color=00aeef]"Okay? What does that have to do with anyt-"[/color] Althalus stopped as he felt something soaking his sleeve. Looking down at the message he felt a brief flash of panic at the mention of the Eternal Hunger, the bitch that had eaten his hand then left him for dead. He still got nightmares from that mission. As the message disappeared, not even leaving a trace behind, he looked back at Leith. [color=00aeef]"Ha. Ha. I thought we were past the hand jokes? Regardless, message received. As I was saying, what does me being Lyn's father have anything at all to do with the current situation?" [/color]His face fell as he connected the dots and he sighed rubbing a hand across it. [color=00aeef]"Is that what he told you the reason for Alaira and I being so 'rude',"[/color] he gave air quotes to emphasize how wrong he thought Henri was, [color=00aeef]"to him? He's either even more of an idiot than I thought he was or he's a liar, and I genuinely hope its the latter, because liars are at least smart enough to know what's going on. I don't care that he's hanging around Lyn. I haven't cared for the months he's been around her before now. I [i]do[/i] care that he doesn't seem to understand that his actions affect all of us, and that he thinks he can just treat nobles as he likes. That will get him, and us by association, in jail or worse. And if goon is the best insult he can come up with, he needs work on that. A lot of work."[/color]
