Get rid of 'Kobold House' and let the pus drain out. After the Grant boy died, they ain't willing to take chances."I hate you, but I'm giving you a chance to explain yourself before the mob comes. Because they will kill you and torture the hell out of your 'companion,' whether he knows anything or not."Heath leans back and the chair lets out a squeak of relief."I'll let that sink in for a few.""So that's why you're here," Rogren smiles knowingly. "My imbecile son has absconded with your own imbecile son and now you're upset and taking it out on me. Isn't that just precious?"He leans forward towards Heath, gesturing with an extended knuckle."As for your supposed mob, Flower has already begun seeking full citizenship. Any crimes committed against his person will be punishable under imperial law. Beyond that, anyone who approaches either of us with that sort of ill intent will be shot dead, and I'll be within my rights to do so."Rogren clears his throat in order to stave off any more coughing fits, throws his legs over the side of the bed and begins to climb out."I owe you and this town precisely zero explanation," Rogren says, his back cracking loudly as he stretches to his full height and then sits back down to lean on the edge of the bed. "But there's this: I took ill and came home to recuperate and that's the end of it. If you or anyone thinks Flower may be a spy, you clearly haven't spent enough time with him. Now then ..."He calmly pulls an identical pistol from beneath his pillow, quickly putting distance between himself and Heath, aiming from his hip from the corner of the room"You are trespassing. Go now," he coughs, choking on phlegm, "And don't come back.""We could test which one of us is quicker, but it ain't worth the time. Way I figure it, a man should hang for the sins he has committed, rather than the ones he didn't. And you got more than enough to make you swing eventually, even if you ain't in with the kobolds."Heath pauses for a moment, his hand on the doorframe."If Kat gets hurt -- if, Estanna forbid, he dies -- I will track down your son, I will find him, and I will gladly burn for the all the pain I will cause him before I kill him."And that's when I'll think long and hard about finally killing you," Heath says as he walks toward the front door.</blockquote>
