A steady income, knowledge of what this land finds valuable, and the potential to have his own business in exchange for his loyalty. Of course, one would assume Malphas, the man who had almost considered slaying his fellow cohorts just earlier, would be appalled at such an oath. While there is evidence that a man such as himself would not be afraid to fill a back with knives should it be revealed to him, the contrary is certain. Malphas is happy to bend the knee for others, especially if there is something in it for him, something that would particularly catch his eye... In this case, it was dollar signs. "[color=lightblue]But of course! You humble me with such an offer, Lady Mie. What a perfect way to utilize my talents, as well... Ah, but there is one more thing that I may ask of you. My identity has been... tarnished, as you know. If I am to successfully work with you, I would need a new identity, a new name, a new face. Perhaps before we shake on this agreement, we should take heed to what name is signed along the dotted line, hmm?[/color]" Malphas stroked his chin exaggeratively, pondering on a new identity for himself. It was then that his wings came to mind. "[color=lightblue]You wouldn't happen to have an avian mask, would you? Perhaps that of a wise owl, or a grand eagle? Ah, no... the royal and regal raven is likely the best for my sort, isn't it? Black [i]is[/i] the new black, after all...[/color]" Malphas stroked his hair. "[color=lightblue]Ah, perhaps I should find a way to change my hair up a bit, as well.[/color]"
