Oppression vs. Ambition

[MacConnell]

Jalakaag shrugs and lifts his hands in a gesture of doubt. He has no idea what to say to the man or what to do. After about one second, he changes his posture to a gesture of peace then simply stands as he was before the man spoke.

Whiron bows slightly in acknowledgement to the old man. “We have seen you once before. We did not disturb your altar, nor do we intend any disrespect. I find it strange that someone who is not born to or remanded to The Flats would bother coming to this place. All I think of is leaving here.”

The man nods his head, twice. “Yes, I recognized you two as well, as soon as I noticed that someone was near. Peace. I have no intention to harm you. You two interest me. I do not think that you will develop the alacrity that would make you more useful to me; and in some ways, I hope that you do not. I will offer you one piece of free advice. Your talents will attract the attention of the clergy. Despite their name and public image, they are not to be trusted. I advise you to keep your distance, at least 20 strides.”

With that, the man turns and departs, keeping his skiff to the shallows so that he can pole it back upstream. He calls back, “Feel free to use may altar, if you have your own homage to pay.”

After the other man has gone, Jalakaag walks closer to Whiron. “I am not certain, but I am not just speculating either, but I think that altars are specific to one God. I have no idea to whom that man would pay homage. I say we forget it and go about our usual business.”

Whiron shrugs. “I do not know. That sounds right, but how many Gods are there and what does ‘alacrity’ mean? Oh, forget it. We should go back to hunting.”
