*It was a partly cloudy but all in all dry day in New Salvainia where Ardon was doing his morning stroll. He had just recently finished a quest from some person he's never met before and after the quest he hasn't really been getting the best sleep but none the less he still continued the stroll in search of people to help! As usual he was bare from the waist up showing his large muscular form and four large arms that were waving at some of the people he recognized on the street. He wore his usual lower body armor that had the decorative red cloth that was worn and had tears on it, his head was looking about from left to right while he thought to himself what was keeping him up? Was it the quest? The fact that this person knew who he was without him ever knowing who he was? Possibly that he had to threaten to murder a family if they didn't cooperate with him? He really shouldn't be having these deep thoughts right now*

*Horace quickly dashed down the street, he had used ``Fleet Foot`` the moment before and as such was moving very quickly. He was running from some guards, who could be seen in the distance. As for why they were chasing him, he had stolen a couple of items from a jewelry stand a while ago. He would continue moving down the street as fast as he could. Looking back towards the guards and not paying attention to what's before him, he would run straight into a muscular, 4 armed man. Perhaps knocking him over as well do to how fast Horace was moving.*

"Ahhh!!!" *Ardon quickly shouted in shock as he was thinking very deep about what he had done while staring off into the distance so he would also not notice the incredibly quick man who had bumped into him. He wouldn't be knocked down but he would take a few steps as he almost fell, quickly he'd rapidly blink and look over towards the person who hit him quickly trying to help him if he fell* "H-Hey! Are you okay there? I'm so sorry this is all my fault I wasn't looking at where I was going. Did I hurt you? Do you need to go to a healer or something?" *Ardon would ask the man his voice filled with genuine concern for this man, his intimidating face looked at him sadly while he questioned this masked stranger*

*Horace would grunt as he fell to the floor, he seemed very panicked for the moment. Looking up and noticing the giant of a man who was speaking to him. Ardon's words told Horace all he needed to know about Ardon's personality and traits. He would think for a moment, standing up as he got an idea.*
"I need you to hide me! Hide me or im gonna die!"
*Horace would shout in a panicked tone, though his voice wouldn't reflect his actual mood. He was a convincing actor, or at least that was what Horace thought of himself. Horace would give what seemed like a proper explanation to Ardon, but what actually was a bunch of lies*
"Please, you gotta help me! You look big and strong, hide me or fight those guys off! They came after just because i refused to give them my money after they threatened me! Please!"
*Of course, this wasn't a complete lie, as the guards did threaten him to pay off his bounty or go to jail and they were coming after him for rejecting them. Horace thought his acting was good, and began making hand gestures to further solidify his act.*
