[QUOTE="silentspace, post: 1171135, member: 14316"] On the road, Rowyn tells Darien “we are not a squad,” “we hardly met before the caravan,” and then seems less than pleased at his offer to give them a second chance. Darien looks completely confused. Why would he think the rear guard had met before? But more importantly, if they were working for him, and he made them into a squad, then they were a squad, weren’t they? And if they were a squad, why wouldn’t they want a second chance? Didn’t they WANT to be a squad? Didn’t they WANT to get paid? He just shakes his head, completely befuddled and confused by Rowyn’s senseless words. Then a thought forms in his mind. Is she telling him that she and the others are not hired mercenaries? If not, then why would they ask to hire on with him? Could they be bandits? Or spies? Did they only pretend to join his caravan separately, acting as if they did not know each other? Are they giving information to the enemy? Would they turn on him during a crucial moment? He regards Rowyn suspiciously for a moment. Then he smiles, still won over by Rowyn’s charm and bravery, but there is a bit of suspicion behind his smile now. At The Wagon, Alan’s stories catch the attention of many guards and drivers. Several interrupt him to ask questions or further details, especially on the parts involving mercenary life, or bandits. They laugh heartily at the exaggerations. When Alan is done, quite a few of them smile at him, pat him on the back, or tap their mugs against his in a drink. Darien included. Then Rowyn sings The Ballad of Fair Rosa. The crowd is mesmorized! It is a memorable performance! When she is finished, she has collected 40 silver pieces. [/QUOTE]
