"I find it a little more than concerning I haven't seen you for a while and then when I'm magically involved with someone possibly connected to you, here you are." I was of course speaking to Hanlon who just showed up on my door step the day after I had accepted his heir's invitation.
"You should be more concerned with the fact I have no heir and this is clearly a trap designed for your own hubris." It might have been touching his concern for me, if he wasn't I dunno some creepy not human creature.
"I know he's not your heir, but I am going anyway because money." Its as good a reason as any.
"He probably doesn't have any money."
"You don't know that, and if you somehow creepily do know that, I don't know that and I will not believe you."
"I think you secretly believe he's a bad person and you want to stop him instead, my gods Lorentino are you, are you thinking of others before yourself?" Some might read sarcasm in that, but no he was being entirely honest and disgusted at the prospect of me being altruistic.
"Nonesense, I'm sure that this guy has money and after he fails to kill me I'll totally take it, besides it might just be an actual vacation." The possibility of that was very low, but you know I have to sometimes be optimistic!
"This is a bad plan on a bad plan, but it is your life to throw away on my non existant heirs, just be aware I will not help you."
"Just like you didn't help me anytime prior to this? Yeah I'll be ok." I swear someone saves your life a couple times and they act like they have always saved it! I at least am not so full of myself to assume people will do what I tell them because I helped them before! Hanlon continued to insist to me I should skip my trip while I was packing (packing mostly things to kill people with I add, because I trust no one). He was so insistent it had me convicnced he didn't want me to go because of some secret of his not out of concern for me! I mean he was right it was a trap, and he was right I kind of wanted to stop this guy out of concern for others (I blamed my recent interaction with The Marked One for this, which funny story on that, well you'll just have to read ahead!) But I finished my packing, he finished his complaining and I went off to the trap properly prepared and not prepared at all.
At least I had a nice train and boat ride, even though I hate boats, the trip was nice! And that's all I'll talk about arriving at the heir of Hanlon a nice young man named Quinton who tried to kill me. Yes thats a bit of a spoiler, but you knew that was going to happen anyway.
