Just One Moment To Speak

"Have to admit little worried when a blind man holds a blade to my throat." I still think it was a valid concern, the scoff the man made told me he did not (naturally).

"There are other ways to see other than just your eyes." Cryptic, creepy, and cvague (had to keep the c thing going) this is known as a threefer in people holding weapons to your throat.

"Yeah do those other methods result in less people getting a really close shave, or more?" He lowered the weapon and waved his hand for me to follow, which again I was following a blind man, you make the joke.

"I don't need eyes to know where you are, the smell is more than enough." I'd have complained, but he was right, I probably smelled something awful for a variety of reasons. We ducked down some small alleys and went into the sewers (naturally I mean when you smell bad, whats some stinky sewers on top of it).

"I thought we were supposed to meet at the library?"

"That was before I knew two seperate groups are following you, quite the sought after man Mr. Lorentino." Thankfully the sewers we went into seemed to be underused, which happens frequently in Ronerawth cities, they are built and rebuilt so often what used to be a sewer becomes a catacomb.  One of the central jobs of the town guard is to make sure the beasties don't overrun the catacombs and attack the cities, most of the time they are safe, most of the time. Unfortunately despite my wanting to speak to this guy we round a bend right into a group of subhuman monstrosities picking over what I could only assume was his former camp.

"You know just once I want to go underground and not have to fight anything." I tried to say it under my breath, but I should have known the blind man would have very good hearing.

"Me too, I think supringly enough these things are for me and not for you, I know you are carrying a revolver I hope you know how to use it."

"Of course, though you won't get to see how good I am." A boast and a sight joke, yes folks I'm just that good. And that's where I'll resume tommorrow, staring down some monstrosities with a blind man who I hoped could fight.  I'd say this is just another day at the office for me, but honestly this one was kind of a new one to me.
