"Do you ever wonder if you should say morning without a gun drawn on someone?" He was drinking coffee with one hand and holding the gun steady with the other, it was the fire god's weapon, though like I previously stated he seemed to load it normally, so if it still maintained its special properties he didn't acknowledge that.
"Nope, people tend to do stupid things when you surprise them, even if you don't intend on killing them, you have to be careful." I could see the hammer was back, apparently careful meant killing even for someone you didn't mean to kill.
"So what can I do for you Mr. Mordere?"
"Well I'm pleased you are aware of me, probably from your shorty friend on the train, yes I remember a lot of things." He touched the scar on his face, it looked particularly unpleasant, as did the dead eye that went with it, "This is not a social call though Mr. Lorentino, someone is trying to kill you."
"Someone is always trying to kill me, your words of caution are noted, you could have just sent a letter." Its really true, I mean to be honest I had just finished dealing with something trying to kill me, this one is no different.
He uncocked his pistol and holstered it in the shoulder clutch, "Well I warned you, that's all I can really do here."
"And its appreciated, but how did you know that someone is trying to kill me? More importantly why warn me? Aren't you a hired killer."
"Yes I am, and I know because they tried to hire me to do it, but the Fire God recognizes your accomplishments Necromancer and for now she is pleased with you and so you stay on the side of righteousness, for now."
"You mean your church still thinks highly of me?"
He chuckled, "No they are the ones who want you dead, take care Mr. Lorentino." He left the coffee (it was my own anyway so its not like he was being nice making my own coffee and letting me drink it!) and mounted his horse and was gone. Mordere was like that he's a man of few words and most of them are awful (like for instance telling me a church hiearchy wants me dead), he also is a bit crazy/not so crazy. You see he talks to the Fire God, or claims he does. Now I know he has an artifact of hers, so she may be speaking to him directly, BUT I also know he's a devoted person who believes he's a prophet of a God I'm not aware taking a prophet. So you know 50/50 if he's crazy or he really talks to a God.
On a personal note, hanging upside down sucks. Especially doing it for two days in a row, the most obnoxious thing is this water droplet keeps hitting me right in the nose. If I wasn't so sure this is just unlucky I'd swear this whole thing was planned specifically to annoy me.
