"A monster hunter, huh? Sweet," 

Barracker could hear in Zell’s voice that he was impressed.  Barracker felt good to be acknowledged by a fellow swordsman but had to be humble about the reality of the job.  [Colour=Green]“There is less glory in it than it sounds.”[/colour]  The job entailed getting rather messy and messed up.  [Colour=Green]“Alot of blood, filth and saliva.  Anything but sweet,”[/colour] he chuckled.

"We could've done with your expertise in the Hillocks.  Glad to have you aboard, pal." 

Barracker placed a hand on Zell’s shoulder blade, briefly, as they walked.  [Colour=Green]“I appreciate the words friend.”[/colour]

“I definitely feel like someone or something brought us to this world.  And whatever the reason - it's important."  Zell grinned at him.  "Just a feeling though.  I tend not to think too much."

Barracker noted the swordsman grin, then looked around as he thought about the words.  [Colour=Green]“I would not be surprised if The Quinity had a plan for you.  Fate often has a hand in directing us to the choices we must face.  How you choose, will be up to you.”[/colour]

When they came upon Zell’s friend, Will, Barracker stayed silent throughout the conversation.  He was surprised that someone who had only been in the city two days had made himself a drinking buddy.  He imagined Krillen would be rather similar in a new city.  

When Barracker and Zell approached ‘The Mended Drum’, they both bumped into James.  The paladin took off his mask and gave a salute to the leader of his party. 

"Hey James, look who I bumped into whilst taking a walk in the park. You off out?  Cleric business or something?"

[color=6ecff6]"Somehow it doesn't surprise me it was you who found him" [/color]

Barracker gave a nod, greeting the cleric, [Colour=Green]“hello James.”[/colour]

[color=6ecff6]"And hello again Barr- Kas!, you are part of the party after all, and that means a nickname" [/color]

The paladin laughed, [Colour=Green]“I guess that is a new one, my best friend calls me Barri.”[/colour]
 
[color=6ecff6]"But nah, it's not 'Cleric bussiness', I am just going to run some errands that I want to get done before we depart" [/color]

[color=6ecff6]"I will visit the market, do either of you need anything?"[/color]

Barracker shook his head.  Although he did need some ingredients to create a blade oil specific to spectral entities, he would get that himself tomorrow. [Colour=Green]“No thank you”.[/colour]  As James left Barracker said, [Colour=Green]“Take care.”[/colour]  Then looked at Zell and gestured towards the door, [Colour=Green]“after you.”[/colour]
