An eyebrow rises slowly as she speaks. “True, I did assume. But you did say the same reason. It matters not, anyway. I believe the greater good would be in keeping the forbidden items of the Valley where they rest now, untouched by greedy human, elf or other mortal hands. At least in the sealed Valley, none can use them. Besides, if you have been tracking him, it is easy to see how he only lusts after power and coin. Any instrument of power in his hands would be dreadful for all.”As he speaks, the shadowed Halfling carefully sizes the woman up again. She might be a dangerous opponent, if it came to that, though he hoped it would not. He sighs and steps under a small eave, the little shelter more than enough for someone his size. “You ask what benefit I would gain… A fair question. My gain would be in putting my skills to a greater use than the past. And, perhaps, a measure of redemption for that past…” His voice trails off, the rain concealing the hint of a tear, even as his eyes glow again with incarnum.With a shake of his head, dispelling both the glow and the memory, he jokingly says, “And perhaps you, or we, should seek shelter. And you may call me Herriman.”</blockquote>
