“I’m a hero. Member of the Wards. I’m in town for a little while.”
“Doesn’t matter. I made a deal. Me, my friends and my family get a place to stay here, a fair share of the food and water. In exchange, I keep people from entering.”
Oh, I see. That seems like a reasonable way to survive as a rogue in these circumstances.
“I’m a hero,” Flechette stressed the word. “I’m not going to cause trouble.”
That word doesn’t always count for as much as it should. Hell, just look at Shadow Stalker.
“I don’t know you’re telling the truth. Nothing saying you couldn’t be lying.”
“I have ID.”
Parian shook her head. “It doesn’t matter anyways.”
A deal’s a deal.
Anyway, Flechette, you came here to see Parian. If she won’t let you in, maybe you should ask her to come out? Or just stay where you are.
The frocked rogue climbed up to stand on top of the gorilla’s shoulders. She added, “I made a deal. I’m keeping to it. One hundred percent neutrality. You trespass, I fight you.”
Fair enough!
