Dalious' mouth dropped open in shock as Ashe yelled at him for not informing her of Cicero and Gwyns secret.  After all, he had only just met the woman a very short time ago.  He literally knew nothing about her other than the fact that she could kill well, which was oddly enough.  Still, he had been with his fair share of women long enough to know which battles to avoid.  If it wasn't clear this was one of them from the beginning, her holding out her blade made it clear as a crystal.

[color=steelblue]"Probably not the best time to tell her I'm wanted in three different kingdoms,"[/color] Dalious whispered toward Fyr.  [color=steelblue]"...possibly four."[/color]

Even with the short time span that he knew this company, it somehow felt like they all knew each other much longer.  Killing together did that sort of thing sometimes, especially killing well together.  This world was nothing more than just kings and killers anyway.

This was a new chapter's beginning in the pirates mind.  Before he was just a survivor, a ruthless hooligan that did what was necessary for himself.  Things were different now after seeing that demon lord try to enter this realm.  The stakes were higher.  They had to somehow bring Cicero and Gwyn back and stop this evil from coming.  They were to be...heroes.  The thought gave Dalious a smirk as he decided to obey Ashe's command.

He pulled out his metal spear and slowly made his way by Ashe, heading toward the rear of the incoming caravan.  [color=steelblue]"I was going to give you this spear, but now I'm keeping it!"[/color] he said to her as he passed by.

There was just a woman, local to Roh by the look of her, and a kid in the back.  Seemed to be a normal travelling caravan by all accounts.  Dalious waved them in as he peered inside from the back.

[color=steelblue]"Hello friends, you've seemed to answer our prayers,"[/color]he spoke loudly for all to hear.  [color=steelblue]"We are in dire need of assistance, as none of us are quite from these parts.  A ride and some food, water if you can spare it?  Perhaps you could take us to a safe place for a rest?  We are heroes, you see, and we've just liberated that slave camp over there.  It's what we do, save the innocents and what not.  It's our journey, our quest...our duty.  Unless of course you work with the slavers, then we'll have to kill you both and take all of your shit."[/color]

Dalious jumped in the back with the kid and started immediately rummaging through their things.  [color=steelblue]"I'm just kidding lad, I'd only kill you 'cause I don't kill women...except Ashe might kill her so...nevermind.  You look like a reader, you like books?  Here, knock yourself out."[/color]  Dalious tossed the ghastly man's journal in the boy's lap for him to keep.  [color=steelblue]"Fyr!!  Come on mate, get on the camel and lets go!"[/color]
