"I don't see why you're angry." I and Oshujon were walking away from the Captain's jail/office, I was in a bit more of a huff considering what had transpired.
"The woman hates me, yet you someone who beat up five people and maimed a couple, you she likes, that makes no sense to me." She does hate me, I mean sure I'm a necromancer and I frequently, through no fault of my own mind you, am engaged in horrible things under and around the city. Still there is no reason to hate.
"You're just not a people person Trezlan, you rub people the wrong way." I didn't even have to bail him out or anything, SHE LET HIM OUT! If Mordere was here he'd be upset too, I mean he had to go to trial and everything. Well if he was here I'm sure he'd try and kill the man from the west, because thats kind of what he does, kill the unkillable (something I'm astutely aware of mind you).
"People like me!"
"Name one person who likes you, just one." I was silent because damn it he was right. I try not to be upset about it, but yeesh I am pretty unlikeable now that I think about it. I guess its something I should work on, but in all honest why bother? I mean they'll be dead soon enough and more people will get in my way and annoy me and I them. Ok thats a really cynical way of looking at things, but come on! I mean outside of Morley, Oshujon, and Valrym who else can be around for as long as I have? I do realize I seem to be accumulating people who live forever, at least two of them aren't actively trying to kill me, but Morley more than makes up for that factor.
We made it back to my store and Oshujon had that look of self satisfaction after winning an argument (we weren't arguing though I was merely stating my case for... SHUT UP!). Nidget was not in the office, but when I'm there he usually isn't (which makes him the worst employee of all time, well being Nidget does, but this is a symptom of the greater Nidget issue). It was at this time I recalled that stupid sword I'd gotten from my last failed adventure and decided I'd sell it as some kind of artifact (because it looked artifacty, I mean it had engraving and everything, total artifact). Oshujon who was mildly involved in looking smug suddenly got a weird look on his face.
"Where did you get that?" A dumb question since his weird law powers gave him insigh damn near immeadiately. "Oh oh no." And with that things got weirder. Which for me is saying something.
