[QUOTE="DistractingFlare, post: 5798893, member: 86189"] As he arrives to find himself greeted by a band of merry dwarves, Aldin smiles with glee. [COLOR=Sienna]"By the voice of the mountain! Come here, lads!"[/COLOR] The crew assembles around him, and he gives each a brief inspection, then introduces himself. [COLOR=Sienna]"Aldin Stonehallow, Steward of Rosedown, heir to Bronzebarrow Manor, killer of many, many goblins. Now, my boys, take me to the nearest tavern. We'll drink them out of ale today!"[/COLOR] The group gives a rowdy cheer, but the hunter who seems to be the leader looks on in consternation. He puts his hand on Aldin's shoulder and leads him away from the group. [I]"Sir, with due respect. There's a line between friend and commander, and I think ye're blurring it." [/I]Aldin looks this man in the eye, all traces of joviality gone. [COLOR=Sienna]"Aye. Ye're right. Because I've seen firsthand the difference between discipline and loyalty. I don't want trained soldiers. Soldiers can be bought and paid for. Soldiers fight because they're told to fight. Friends fight to protect what they love. Now tell me, which bleedin' one would ye rather have?"[/COLOR] The sergeant returns Aldin's stare, then nods and extends his gloved hand. [I]"Friends, then. I'm Pendleton Deepcutter. Now about that ale..."[/I] [/QUOTE]
