[QUOTE="Binder Fred, post: 6550757, member: 63746"] The young mage breathes in- then closes his mouth without a sound, eyebrows raised in some surprise: trust in the good will of others from master Stonehand? And his own found sadly wanting, it seems, when the press of events came calling... Antares dips his head, the blush of small shames coming to his cheeks with realization: he had been thinking ill of these men, even going so far in their hasty rush over as to suspect some were - perhaps - knowing agents of the dancing star, evil in their hearts and harm for all behind their every action... Yet likely they were men not unlike himself; men worried about the safety of their town and loved ones and seeking solutions in an uncertain, seemingly unknowable world... (And certainly getting seemingly more and more unknowable with every drink they drank!). Despite repeated warnings, he had fallen into the easy trap of assuming the worst! And yet, what if they weren't? What if they were indeed agents of the Dark Man? Or, perhaps worse, what if the good they sought could not, in any way, meet his own understanding of that lofty concept? What then the part of caution? The part of trust? The part of assuming the best of every stranger you meet until proven otherwise? (And sometimes beyond then, if the proponents of second chances are to be believed?) [COLOR="#DAA520"]"A... complex man is master Stonehand, friend Stellan. At once trusting and suspicious, secretive and- Lady Beatrix!" [/COLOR]She and Stoneburner are even now seeking a man to stop a fight that no longer exists! [COLOR="#DAA520"]"Ah.
