Betray My Heart

"So what are you?" We had been walking at a sprint (well sprint for me, he just walked briskly such is the nature of you talls) I figured if I was working with a creature I'd want to know what kind.

"A man." I laughed, but I don't think Travania found it very funny.

"Right of course a man who's face is entirely obscured and you have red eyes, some man."

"I'm as much a man as you are Mr. Pavarosi." And what if I was a sprite? Than I bet he'd feel pretty stupid. We arrived at a large brick house, it had been constructed well before the war and looks to have survived it quite well. There weren't people walking around near it, and I noticed we had briskly walked to a completely empty part of the city.  I did notice the door a heavy iron type that would not budge easily.

"Time for you to show your skills Mr. Pavarosi." Picking a lock is like seducing a woman (so something you have no experience in at all in either aspect Trezlan). You have your introductory to the lock, you have to ply it with small advances and then when you think you've got it there is always a set back, but eventually with persistence you can break past its defenses and get to the treasure it keeps. This lock wasn't that difficult at all, in fact it seemed the door was mostly visually to keep people out, the lock behind it no more complicated than anyones front door, I had it open in under a minute.

"And that is why I'm the best."

"You certainly showed your worth Mr. Pavarosi now stand back." He knocked the door off its hinges with a solid stomp of his foot, thereby negating my impressive show.

"Well now I feel pointless." Travania didn't even notice my comment he was over the door and into the meeting room beyond it, where a large squad of men with guns awaited him.

"Travania its nice of you to stop by." On the one hand I hadn't come into the home so they didn't see me, on the other hand I was under the impresion Travania would pay me so I was looking to be without a meal ticket. A crap crappy part of any day.

Did Nidget live? Why were men waiting for Travania? Well you know the answer to the first question, as for the second... The next entry dear reader!
