Dalious choked when he heard that payment was needed.  He just uncomfortably twitched and then passed the water jug on to Ashe.  He assured himself it would all work out later, or they would quickly ditch these guys and run.  Regardless, they needed to leave this place.

When Ashe stabbed him in his shoulder he raised his hands in a confused manner as if to say, the hell!?? 

[Color=steelblue]"She's just that cranky sort...you look like a good lad,"[/color] he spoke to Arthur.  [Color=steelblue]"Don't worry bout it, if you want it it's yours.  For fun.  Just don't become some psychopath reading it, oherwise I'll snatch it right back!"[/color]. The boy reminded him of himself in a sense, as Dalious had started his journeys long ago as a ride along novice to a ship crew.

...

Dalious fell to sleep along the way and dreamt of horrible things.  The faces of every single person he had killed were dominant in his nightmares, from the first person he killed to the latest.  

He woke upon reaching the village they were travelling to and made a quick observation of his surroundings.  The scenery was vastly different than he was used to, but more or less it all felt the same as every other place he had been.  

[Color=steelblue]"Lapis, we thank you for bringing us to safety,"[/color] Dalious told her as he stretched.  [Color=steelblue] "Can I buy you a drink?  Oh wait, that's right, I'm broke...and we owe you coin anyway.  And also we're still covered in dry blood and guts.  Damns we really should have planned all this out better on the way.  Ashe, buy Lapis a drink for me...and then buy me a drink too...that mask you're wearing should sell for enough right?  Right!  Let's go."[/color]
