[quote=@Lewascan2] *Working my jaw, I couldn't help my brows furrowing, as I hummed thoughtfully. Glancing around at the room's occupants, I decided to be forthright.* [color=00a651]Right, so... as much as I'd love to believe you're the purely altruistic sort, I hope you'll forgive me asking what the catch is? I mean, I don't really got anywhere to go or... I guess goals presently. But I did used to do mercenary work. As long as it's not innately conventionally morally contemptable, I'm game for paying back a favor. Though, given how uh... out of my depth I'm feeling here, I can't quite imagine what I could do that you can't far more quickly and effortlessly.[/color] [/quote] *Taps cane against the floor a couple times, staring in the direction of the fireplace.* [color=bc8dbf]You'd be correct to say it is hard to wholly accept I'm anything but an altruist but everyone has a very different idea of right and wrong you see. There is nary a catch just a request, since you are stuck the least you can do is help keep out any riffraff that might invade. You don't need to mind you and as a gentleman I'd never force my will unto another as it would be rude.[/color]
