[QUOTE="Qik, post: 5874201, member: 6673727"] Fury's efforts to leave are stifled by Milo's surprisingly strong hand on his shoulder. He smiles at Fury as he places a cup of coffee in his hand. [COLOR="MediumTurquoise"] "Why are you always so eager to try and leave my house, son? If I didn't know better, I would be offended."[/COLOR] He gestures to an empty seat at the table. [COLOR="MediumTurquoise"]"Just sit, already."[/COLOR] Taking a seat for himself, Milo says,[COLOR="MediumTurquoise"] "So what exactly brings you by, Commander? Just checking in on a frail old man?"[/COLOR] Parsons snorts. [COLOR="Gray"] "You're hardly that, Milo; you'd give more than a few White Cloaks I know a run for their money."[/COLOR] Growing more serious, he says, [COLOR="Gray"]"But I was genuinely concerned after yourself and Mr. Furioso failed to materialize yesterday. There's already been one attempt on your life as of late..." [/COLOR]Parsons trails off, the implications clear. He shakes his head slightly as if to clear it. [COLOR="Gray"] "But thankfully there doesn't seem to have been an issue. And given the success of yesterday's raid, I dare say that the criminal element of Ranocchio will have greater concerns than a politician" [/COLOR]- [COLOR="MediumTurquoise"]"A lowly one, at that,"[/COLOR] Milo chimes in -[COLOR="Gray"] "in the weeks to come,"[/COLOR] continues Parsons. [COLOR="Gray"]"Such as getting revenge on their own,"[/COLOR] he adds ominously. [COLOR="Gray"] "Some of those Krakens were only too eager to talk."[/COLOR] Parsons shifts in his chair, apparently slightly uncomfortable. Finally, he continues, [COLOR="Gray"]"But no, Milo, I didn't come just to check in on you, although that was part of it. Frankly, I feel as though I owe you an apology. Owe both of you one, really,"[/COLOR] he adds, nodding to Fury. [COLOR="Gray"] "You know I've been behind your efforts to clean up Ranocchio 100%. But I dare say that even I underestimated the scope of the problem here in Ranocchio. To think, the Krakens were about to begin [I]refining pesh.[/I] It's enough to make one want to hide in Roses D'Avorio, which more than a few White Cloaks officials seem inclined to do." "I hasten to add that I'm not here in any official capacity. Gods know the last thing the Coordinator would want is to have someone issuing an apology to you on his behalf. But I felt as though you were owed it, official or no, so I came to offer it." [/COLOR] Parsons turned to Fury. [COLOR="Gray"] "And you. You pissed me off a hundred times over yesterday. But I don't know if myself or my men would have all gotten out alive if you hadn't been there. Not to mention we wouldn't have been there in the first place if it hadn't been for you. So," [/COLOR]says Parsons, reaching into his satchel and pulling out a small but hefty bag,[COLOR="Gray"] "here." [/COLOR] He plops the bag on the table in front of Fury. Inside are coins. A lot of them. [sblock=OOC]400 gp from the raid. Also, did I dole out XP for the warehouse fight? Just in case, it's 700. I appreciate that; like I said, I'm fine at least finishing out this scene, and then we can take it from there. I certainly don't want to end this prematurely, because as I said, it's been quite enjoyable. In any case, we're done with the map making/battle scene-ing portion of things, which is what I find to be the most time consuming.[/sblock] [/QUOTE]
