The mood change in the caravan was almost comical as the men sitting on the back of the transports shook their heads as if they were disappointed at the Katorians actions. Even Thaddeus smacked his hand to his face as Thomas's face became so red, its like he wasn't even taking a breath. [color=gray][b]"Take cover boys hes gonna explode any minute!"[/b][/color] Malvo yelled it as he pulled a pair of small corks and pressed them firmly into his ears. Seconds later there was a loud scream echoing so loudly through the surrounding lands that you would think that someone was being murdered. It was cut off abruptly though as Thaddeus was behind Thomas now with a hand over the boys mouth quieting his excited scream. Picking him up off the ground so they didnt have to stop the convoy he would continue to walk, seemlessly like the boy weight nothing, he would start to kick as Thaddeus spoke: [b]"Jack would you be a lad and go check on the cargo? I would like you to do a full inventory before we reach Lorenstad."[/b] Even against the hand over his mouth there was a loud 'AWWWWWWW' as Thomas stopped struggling. He would be set down with a pout as he looked over at D'artagnan dejectedly. [b]"Now son, you know the rules, work before play. I am sure our friend here will be around Lorenstad so you all can talk later. Now hop to it boy."[/b] Thomas pouted again as he mustered a low 'okay' and trudged back hopping into one of the moving carts. Malvo would remove the earplugs with a relived sigh: [color=gray][b]"That boy is going to drive some young woman crazy someday."[/b][/color] Malvo spoke with a small smirk on his face as Thaddeus nodded in agreement: [b]Or man, you never know Hammerhead."[/b] There was a hearty laugh as Malvo shook his head making a snort with his nose, [color=gray][b]"who is gonna wear the dress though at the nuptials."[/b][/color] There was a chorus of laughter before they heard Thomas yell over them from the back: [color=tan][b]"At least I can get someone Hammerhead, its pretty sad when you couldn't even get a dog to like you."[/b][/color] Now the men were bawling as Malvo starting waving his fist as he let himself fall back to the wagon and started to threaten Thomas. [b]"Again, forgive them, especially Thomas, they are a rowdy bunch and very loud as you just discovered but they are family. Now to answer your question, we got a shipment of exotic spices that grow only in the Isles, they only grow there due to the climate surrounding the area. There are a couple codgers in Lorenstad who pay me a fine price when I head out to sea. They are fairly eccentric, sort of like me but they often times will go off on hour long tangents about the old days. Ironic really given I am older than both of them combined."[/b]Thaddeus spoke matter-of-factly as he thought about the fact that he would be turning three hundred in Fallsa, to him he supposed it wasn't that old but too many races are shocked telling them you have been alive going on three centuries. The years do tend to blend together and some go by rather quick and others are slow and painful. [b]"Interesting place the Grand Isles, did you know that there is a native species there that are as big as house nestled deep within its jungle interior? Most don't explore the island due to its dangerous reputation but some of the spices I collect are centered in the isles. I remember seeing one for the first time years and years ago, I could feel its footfalls with every step it took. Thankfully its not too interested in meat but they are agressive, one tried to crush me with its foot. Was quite the interesting experience I must admit."[/b] Unknown to D'artagnan at that exact second but Thaddeus was balancing the ancient orchish dagger on his finger tip as he walked. He was admiring the craftmanship of the blade, it was made with a rare metal that only the orchish were strong enough to mend into their blades. They were among the one race in all the world that really made their weapons to last, even against the elements. Suppose to be ancient yet it looked as if time had stood still. [b]"This is a very nice piece my new friend, the balance is exceptional and the blade is still razor sharp even after all these years I am sure the mueseum will be thrilled with piece I know I would love to have one, I do admire blades after all."[/b] Thaddeus tossed the blade up in the air letting it do a full 360 before recatching it in his hand by the hilt: [b]"Definitely a good balanced blade."[/b] He spoke casually, so much in fact you would think he didnt know it was wrong wrong to pickpocket a ancient artifact from a complete stranger.[/color]
