[b][color=#a4161a]"What, you think critters cant be assholes? Not as often as men, yeah, but they could be."[/color][/b] There's this particularly infuriating donkey that just didn't like her, not long after she started bashing heads in. Kicking and even tried to bite once and whatnot. She took great relish watching the men butcher it after the literal dumbass broke its leg on a rough terrain. [b][color=#a4161a]"Your pap is wise there. So long as no one's dead or maimed, people's only gonna think business. They'd grumble and try to reach for more anyway, cuz people are greedy, but killers for hire are expensive yeah? And they dont always succeed. Ain't gonna waste months of saving on a gamble."[/color][/b]

The good mercs were expensive, whereas the dubious ones tend to run away with the down payment if things get rough. Yvonne grinned at the bear, giving a thumbs up at the humblebrag. This kid's alright. They can get along juuust fine.

[b][color=#a4161a]"People do get irrational when it comes to their life. Village would endure brigands harrassing them every other week, then one farmer dies in an accident and suddenly whole place dig out their family heirlooms to pay off the mercs. Common story, really."[/color][/b]

As the talk went, Yvonne kept an ear open to the elf who took to organizing the motley band so smoothly that she must've done it dozens of times before. Fancy code words too. She wont remembering all that, but Yvonne's job description was "security". She can do security. The only other important bits was the location. Ain't heard of Hdur before, probably should take a peek at the map before the day's over.
