[QUOTE="Thomas Hobbes, post: 510368, member: 8623"] When Thomas returns, Abesh declines food and picks up the conversation where it left off. "Don't worry about me and trouble. I wouldn't have come to find you if I didn't think I'd be able to stick it to the Kelts. I'm not great at swinging this puny thing," he says, his thigh-tapping fingers roaming to the scabbard of the short sword at his side, "But I'll do what I can. Hell, when you're the youngest of eight, you damn well learn how to defend yourself. My eldest sister Amy's the real warrior of the family- she could swing a longsword so fast you wouldn't know what hit you." He pauses and looks down. "She was soldiering for Candara in one of the cities that got hit." He looks up and smiles faintly. "But I'm sure I'll track her down." He changes the subject quickly. "I haven't got a place to stay, other than an inn. It didn't take me long to track you down- I have a way with getting people to tell me what they know," he brags, grinning proudly. "Took me only a day to track you down. No wonder you have to deal with people who want money." He laughs. "I don't have much of a plan from this point- I just planned to tag along with you, boss. I'm your squire from now on. "Oh! That reminds me," he says, stopping his constant chattering long enough to reach into his small backpack to pull out a three-foot long and wonderfully crafted herald's trumpet, complete with a cloth banner- albiet a blank one- hanging from it. Abesh grins at Thomas's raised eyebrow, and answers the two questions likely on his mind. "Nice bag, innit? Gotta love things larger on the inside than the outside. I picked this little beauty up special for you," he says, tapping the brass trumpet, still grinning. "You've got a vassal now, right? Might as well get the rest of the noble frippery. Speakin' o' which," he continues, and points at the bare piece of cloth attached the the trumpet, "Got a symbol yet? Gotta put something on this thing." [/QUOTE]
