Darkness Under Cold Stones

[Scotley]

Kragor

Kragor interjects at this point. "It looks a fine an effective weapon to me. So tell me are their many lawless fellows running loose here in the north to keep stout fellows such as yourselves busy with bounty hunting?"

 

[Dire Lemming]

Shoon looks surprised at the sudden outburst of questioning. He thinks for a moment before answering; "Well... um," he pauses again, "Well, many criminals flee to the north in order to escape justice. So Sion and I, we came this way to find them. Yes. But, she got sick, so that is what we're doing here." he seems to be in a better mood after saying this, though he still glances at Sion from time to time.

 

[Rhun]

Balund listens to all that is said carefully. "But who's justice are they fleeing? Is it not possible for man's laws to be unjust in themselves?" It is obvious that Balund seems to have little regard for society's ideals, which perhaps is why he has spent so much of his life living as an outcast.

 

[Dire Lemming]

Balund's question seems to have a negative effect on Shoon as he again looks confused, or nervous, "Wel, um... well..." he glaces at Sion again; He seems to be reciting something from memory as he speaks again "We must always be certain, when making a law that justice is foremost in our minds, lest we become no diff..." He stops abruptly, looking worried, and falls silent.

 

[hafrogman]

"So you are not seeking anyone in particular at the moment? Is that a terribly efficient method of bounty hunting? Odd, you would think that most people would know well enough stay away from this land in the winter. . . still, I suppose that criminals are not known for being the best and brightest."

Ivan turns his attentions to Shoon, something about his nervousness and story seemed odd. More likely that they were the criminals fleeing justice. Yet the man seemed honorable enough. Perhaps Balund's words had weight in this matter. Still, for now there were more important things afoot.

He turns away from the group for a moment and tends to the hearth fire. The warmth spreads throughout the room and Ivan basks in it for a moment, letting the heat wrap around him.

Kragor

The southerner sits back on his bed enjoying the extra warmth Ivan coaxed from the fire and listens to the others questioning the bounty hunter, while trying not to seem terribly interested.

 

[Dire Lemming]

Shoon looks even more concerned with Ivan's comments. "Well yes... but... that's what they will think." He glances down at Sion again and then looks back at Ivan. "Do you think she will wake soon?" he asks, trying as he does to think of what he could tell her to disuade her from coming with him.

OOC: I think I'll go write up a character description for Sion since she is rather important to my character. I'll put it in the RG when I'm done.

 

[Voadam]

"Hunter. Flame healer. Southerner." Thoma nods as he looks over Sion and Kragor, then his his gaze settles on Ivan at the fire. "You fight southerner?"

 

[hafrogman]

Ivan pulls away from the fire and goes to examine Sion in response to Shoon's question, he catches Thoma's eyes on him and wonders why the orc looks at him while speaking to Kragor.

"Who can say when she will awaken? She is through the worst I believe, now it is merely a matter of allowing her body the time it needs to recover. She will awaken when she is ready. I know you are anxious for her, but rest is what is best for her wellbeing."

 

[Scotley]

Kragor

The reclining Southerner, Kragor, replies to the Orc, "Perhaps not as well as you, but I've trained with the blade and I know a trick or two."
