"Halt." Still pantless I was saddened my escape had not exactly been as perfect as I had assumed. I turned around, the policeman appeared to be the same guy from the docks, which made me think that Trezlan had set me up, because he would do that somehow.
"I'm just a guy out for an evening stroll."
"Without pants?"
"Without pants, I like the feeling of air on my genitals, its liberating." He gave me a look that informed me he did not like the feeling of air on his genitals.
"You came into this city with Mr. Lorentino did you not?" he had skipped the conversation about pants, and changed the subject to confirming I knew Trezlan, which told me Trezlan had not set up this particular incident. I shuffled my feet a bit, getting the policman more into the alleyway I was standing next to when he caught me, just in case things took a turn for the murder.
"That man and I met on that ship, we have no association directly if he's guilty of any crime its not my guilt." With Trezlan you have no idea why someone is asking why you are associated with them, best to assume something awful.
"I need your help, Trezlan is in serious danger." I'll admit I thought really long and hard to just leave that bastard where he was, I mean for all the things he'd been involved with I'm sure this was some kind of what goes around comes around kicking his ass. Then again he was my best way out of this crazy country and back home, so with a heavy sigh...
"Ok let me find my pants and we'll go save Trezlan." I kind of knew where my pants were, but you never want to overcommitt to knowledge of pants until they are on your legs. Plus that's where I kept my weaponry, but I did really want my pants, the open air had turned cold and I was more "shorty" than I prefered if you catch my drift.
