GIRL. Jack fumed, completely uncaring about her knife. I wouldn' work fer a murd'ress for all the damn money in the [expletive deleted] world. Simply a'cause other things cant talk, don' mean their lives don' matter.
He spat.
Ye migh' think ye can always control sommat like that, but you'd be wrong.
He points angrily at his damaged eye, lifts the patch showing a ghastly white monstrosity beneath, lowers the patch again, and storms off.
"Oh no, you don't!"
Linea drew her long blade and spun around. Evading the hermit's assault while at the same time, with all of her might refrain herself from slashing his throat.
The fire behind her began to subdue, leaving the fire at the size of a campfire that still feeding on the wooden corpses.
"I respect and appreciate your help. Mister Jack, but you did something that could be perceived as an assault just a moment ago." She pointed the blade at the so-called Elder. "I won't be asking for your help anymore. Consider my debt is paid off after you insulted and attacked me."
She then glanced at the fire, at the ashing corpses cracking beneath, and she left it as it was.
The ironclad slayer scratched his head and let out a heavy sigh. "Old hobo. Elf chick calm down shall we? Just breath for a moment let's not get all hyped up."
The slayer looked at the old hobo. "Old hobo it's better if you check your partner first. Calm her down before she runs away." He looked at the Linea. "Elven chick, I know you are frustrated and I may and may not be a part of that frustration but the old guy has a point. He is just panicking because his
life partner is startled."
The slayer walks closer to Linea. "Look you might not trust us and yes, I know I have made a lot of mistake yesterday but I promise I would be more mindful now, plus it is better if we stick together
united."
"All of us know how dangerous this place is, and we have to atleast tolerate each other so that we can pull through."
The slayer moves closer to Linea but just enough that she wouldn't reach him with her blade. "We might see whoever your searching for in that tower or better yet, find out what's twisting the creatures in this place. So let's just please calm down."
"I suspect greenskins are the ones responsible for this but even if it is not, I am still willing to help you track down who you are searching for."
"Hopefully its greenskins" he murmured.
The slayer walked towards Jack. "Is the bear calm now?"
