"Nidget, Trezlan you apparently both fail at reading maps." Hanlon appeared out of nowhere as expected.
"You had a map Nidget?" He withdrew a leather map from his coat pocket, it appeared quite soaked from the swamp journey we had been involved in.
"It was poorly marked." I snatched it from his hands and could see it was extremely clear and Nidget is a gods damned idiot.
"In my defense I had a head injury." Hanlon shook his head and breathed out. I swear everytime I think Hanlon isn't human, he does something that makes him seem very human. Well aside from showing up completely out of the blue without a horse or way of traveling.
"At least you escaped."
"I told you I'd get him out Hanlon, I always honor my word." Nidget of course was lying.
"No you don't Mr. Pavorossi you only did this out of fear, do not mistake my kindness to you as weakness or you will find that said kindness can mask maliciousness understand?" His tone had changed from his normal put upon way of speaking to very harsh. I was kind of frightened of the change.
"Sort of?"
"Good enough." There were a lot of big words and Nidget is more than little bit of a simpleton, now I had no issue following it. A direct threat from a man I've seen kill the unkillable, not something I'd take lightly.
"So who's the idiot in the suit?"
"I'LL SHOW YOU WHO I AM" I could hear the voice of the not so well dressed guy and then we were surrounded by what appeared to be the worst chain gang in the world (literally they were dressed in chains) . I knew it was too easy getting away. Hanlon for his part seemed completely unsurprised, and he wasn't. Such is the world I live in, everyone is ahead of the game and I'm just wondering if I am indeed playing a game.
