[center][h1]The Great Gus[/h1][/center] [hr] Gus smirked in amusement as he followed the redhead to the fire. [color=gold]”Well, it did not sound like a refusal of my offer.”[/color] He laid the back of his hand on his forehead as he tried his hardest to be dramatic. [color=gold]”And what a terrible curse, to fall for a beautiful lady. How cruel the world could be.”[/color] He found a quiet spot near the fire, staring into the flickering flames with a pensive expression. [color=gold][i]Is this really going to help me find them?[/i][/color] Perhaps he did not want to believe it but their task might be a lot bigger than his own little search. Gus sighed as he ran his fingers through his disheveled hair as he whispered softly to himself. [color=gold][i]”What are you up to, old man? Getting involved with the Emperor, Dragonian tombs, and a secret club... you never did things the simple way, did you? With all the things you do, you make me look like an amateur.”[/i][/color] His gaze remained fixated on the flames, the dancing shadows soothing his mind. [color=gold]”Just know that I am not going to be a part of your party.”[/color] He shrugged. [color=gold]”I work the best solo, and the main reason I’ll tag along is just because it helps me out as well for the time being.”[/color] He tried not to show any of his actual emotions on the matter. [color=gold]”Well that, and the company of a beautiful lady is never a bad thing either.”[/color]
