Then in his confidence and pride, the aura of the dragon's heart emanated from his soul, so he followed the man into the back room. When he entered the man introduced himself as Carlo Brizzi and presented the other members of the team which he will be joining. The Heretic gazed at each of them intently, almost as if he was peering into their souls, appraising their worth. His focus was so great that he didn't even notice the bag of money being thrown at him, until he heard its metallic contents rustle, which is when his eyes locked with the bag and with seemingly inhuman speed his arm snapped into form, clamping down on the bag full of precious coin. He then heard the fat man speak "so, are you in or out?". [color=maroon][i][center]The Heretic's Plight[/center][/i][/color] The boy retorted [color=darkorange]"Of course I'm in.. How could I pass such an... interesting opportunity."[/color] chuckling a bit near the end. Still standing he thought for a moment and then began to speak [color=darkorange]"Sorry to ask.. but I do need a favor after this deed is finished..."[/color] he raised his left hand, and fingers agape, he pointed to a ring on his index finger. [color=darkorange]"This is a ring of perfected electrum, which was formerly enchanted. Now it is cracked and unusable... Worse yet due to my standing as "heretic" I can not go to the normal places of business to have my ring refurbished. For they will either turn me down or attempt to swindle me. So at my humble request..."[/color] he paused for a second, bowing, arcing his left arm to the side and putting his right hand on his chest, pausing for a second [color=darkorange]"please guide me to an individual who can help me with my... inconvenient... situation, and I of course apologize for my earlier... outburst... "[/color] as he spoke he slowly raised his head, eventually making eye contact with the crime boss. With that he sat down, taking up cutlery and voraciously sinking his fangs into some of the accommodations that were prepared. Before his new boss could respond, however, he said, in a lighthearted tone, slightly muffled from the food he was devouring, [color=darkorange]"What's the plan then?"[/color].
