When the boy said the guards would 'arrest' people at night for their own protection Darius nearly burst out laughing and managed to keep himself down to a, rather loud, snort. He thought how funny it would be for a guard to try and arrest himself and the golem, mostly because of the stunned expression on the guards at the gate when they observed his golem much less if they tried to arrest it. Part of him wondered how long it would take for a few guards to find him and work up the courage to try... He decided that it would take too long and his old dwarf bones where too tired to wait for a good chuckle. 

The robed human asked for Darius to escort these two back to somewhere safe. [b]"You wot boy?"[/b] he said, while certainly sounding grumpy at the request there was no malice behind his words. [b]"You want me tah [i]escort[/i] this..."[/b] Darius said 'escort' sarcastically but trailed off when he glanced at the knight before grunting. [b]"hrmpf, Creepy bastard and this ah, wee lass eh? Oi reckon the creepy bastard can handle a quarrel wit one o' the shadow beasties, maybe two."[/b] He says with a laugh knowing full well that the knight would probably put up a good fight for his Defender or scores of the shadow monsters. [b]"As for askin questions.. if oi don' have anything else to do when you find me lad ill answer what you wish, but you will owe me an ale for each question alright boy?"[/b] and strategically not awaiting a reply to make a negative answer impossible [b]"Thats a good lad"[/b]

Darius pondered a moment before actually answering the question [b]"Oi suppose if you younglings care to follow oi won't try to stop ye, but oi want one of these shadow beasties if we can catch one of em."[/b] He smirked [b]"Might get some shadow essence, or skewer one up some cooking"[/b] He laughed again finding himself hilarious, and knowing full well that probably none of the others would agree. [b]"Oi will need tah know where a good tavern is, has tah be one with good ale"[/b] he said with a wink towards the group in general.
