Have I stolen anything of yours? Nay! Did I rush into the fight blindly without assessing the situation at hand? Nay again! Because I chose to be cautious does not make me a coward, and because I possess a few skills that many would concede to be for purely selfish reasons does not make me a common theif. Perhaps a bit more patience is what you need to fully understand the world around you, and the many different facets of this world which do not fit into your rigid veiw of right and wrong. I joined with you in the fight against the thugs because I felt it was the right thing to do and although my methods may seem a bit odd at times and even a bit perplexing I will say that those very methods and quirks and even sudden changes in personnality have served me well.  Someone standing with their head held high and covered in shining armor stands out in the lowliest parts of town, such does someone with their hood pulled low sleeking thorugh the shadows in the more arostocratic part of town, because I can fake a sense of calmness upon my face and demenor does not mean that I am any less terrorfide than the rest of you.  And sometimes a sharp mind can get you out a situation faster than a quick blade.  Now if we could agree to not stab each other in the back and try to trust one another perhaps we just may survive long enough to outlive the marks placed on each of our heads."</blockquote>
