[QUOTE="gnarlygninja, post: 8792604, member: 6777714"] William reached into his purse and after a moment of thought tossed the woman a gold coin. "Thanks ma'am." Anxiety and guilt knotted in William's chest as he rode towards Devin. He could still hear the crunching sound as Devin's nose broke, and see the blood mixing with tears on the boys face. Worse still, could remember wanting to keep hurting him even after. William took a deep breath and tried to clear his mind, but a part of thought about turning around and running even as he climbed down and screwed up the courage to get Devin's attention. "'Scuse me Devin, I know you probably don't remember me but-" The earthquake cut William's efforts short, as he went ass over tea kettle and only narrowly avoided being set on fire as hot coals skittered past him. "Darn it, this's even worse than I thought this'd go" William muttered to himself as he climbed to his feet and began doing his best to stamp out the fire. By the time he'd managed that and made sure Devin was alight the ground shook again and a crystal vine filled the sky. William pushed his ears out of his face and sighed. "Have to do the short version then. I'm Sweet William, same one who broke your nose. I'm sorry for that, it didn't need to go that far. I was just mad that you kept calling me Sweet William and the nickname stuck. Sorry for everything else I ever done to you, and your friends too." William handed Devin his coin purse. "I know this don't make us even, and I wish I had more time to talk about it but..." William gestured vaguely at the crystal vine as he climbed back onto his mount. "If I survive this I'll come back and we can try this again." [ooc][URL='http://roll.coyotecode.net/lookup.php?rollid=270154']Dex save: 1D20 = [1] = 1[/URL] Off to an auspicious start[/ooc] [/QUOTE]
