"I'm not about to get involved in some string of murders, I got out of that life about forty years ago. Now I just run my diner with my wife and be the best husband I can." He paled considerably and shook his head. "No, no, no! I can't have anything of his here, they will find it and they'll have me and everyone I care for dead or worse by morning. What she paid is more than enough, the less connection to R-"<span style="color: #00b359">"Yo! Roddy, where'd you go, you stupid drunk?" </span>"Another one... Tony." After a few moments a massive man in even heavier armor than the first squeezed himself into the doorway. Standing as tall as Ashia's true form with two swords nearly as tall as Loraine strapped to his back he walked into the diner and saluted Sunny.<span style="color: #00b359">"Hey old man, you and the family still doing well?" </span>"Well enough."<span style="color: #00b359">"Good, good. Hey, have you seen Roddy's stupid ass? He said he was heading this way but we're needed out in Southshore for a guild meeting."</span><span style="color: #000000">"If I did the guards would have already been here." </span>The massive man nodded once with a warm smile.<span style="color: #00b359">"Good man, maybe one day that disgrace to the Alliance will drown in his own vomit... Er, I should get going before I'm late too."</span>He turned to leave but paused before Ashia.<span style="color: #00b359">"Well, you're a new and beautiful face in this city. My name is Anthony, may I get yours?"</span><span style="color: #0000ff">"You don't want to know, trust me."</span>He looked at Loraine for a moment then shrugged.<span style="color: #00b300">"Fair enough, forgive my forwardness. You ladies have a wonderful day and don't give Sunny too hard of a time. He's one of the last few decent folk in this city."</span><br/><br/><span style="color: #666600">"And there in lies the problem. You think Ras is being childish or an asshole because you can't see things from his angle and don't want to. There's a reason he and Eldryn butt heads like they did, and it's because Eldryn acted exactly like you when they first met. If you want to educate anyone other than the original Zelina you'll have to run it by me. You're the educated one, you figure it out. Maybe you'll learn something actually useful from him?"</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
