"You are too slow baldy." The bearded man was more than a little bit of a prick. I mean for someone who looked like a hobo he had really good cardio, where as I had not been a prisoner... recently was struggling to keep up. In my defense I did recently take a head wound that was slowing me down, well that and I was purposefully going slow so the hobo would just leave me behind (first rule of trying to get people to let you go, be annoying, they'll either let you go or kill you, which is win win! I mean you're free either way!)
"You know I choose to cut my hair like this, I'm not naturally bald." Probably I mean I've shaved my head for about a hundred years at least now, I don't even know if I have to keep doing it.
"Whatever, you're slow, pampered rich person probably never worked a hard day in your life." I could tell beardy was about as pleasant to be around as he was to smell.
"You got me I haven't done anything except be pampered and live a life of quiet contentment."
"You looked the type, probably one of those former Red Hand pricks who cut a deal with the new government to turn on others, am I right?" We were walking through the woods, I figured we'd come across a farm or something soonish, as did my bearded companion though both of us wanted to get there for completely different reasons I was sure.
"You got me completely." I could practically hear his snear from where I was.
"Probably going down south to Ronerawth to capitilize on the magic slavery they have going on down there. Yeah I know you're type, you're the reason we rebelled." All of a sudden I felt a lot better about getting blown up on my train, I didn't like the idea of Magic slavery, even less so since with my necromancy they could make that kind of thing really awful.
"I had not heard about that at all." He turned around and looked me over, his eyes making that kind of really looking at you stance. It was unsettling and not just because I could see the ever expanding wound on his chest.
"You have an excellent poker face liar, so either you were completely unaware of it and just got saved from being imprisoned to create more magical power for The empire, or you are trying to trick me. All the same I'll have to watch you more." I was almost kind of intrigued about beardy, and was going to give him the benefit of the doubt and think he might have just been a freedom fighter against a good cause. And then he butchered a family in front of me which showed me he was the exact kind of monster I figured him to be.
Fun times are head I assure you!
