Upon finishing, Ureck stood still and waited for everyone to take in what he said. However, as he scanned the group, it quickly became apparent that not all of them were thoroughly convinced. It became especially obvious on Lilium when she responded to his suggestion soon after.<br/><br/><blockquote><div><cite>Sillyness wrote:</cite>“I must say I disagree with your choice in shadowing us, If you intend to confront the grangers you’re going to have to do it in the open, Lesik knows who you are and if he’s controlling the grangers now you’ll be dead a few minutes after leaving this bar alone. I highly doubt Lesik is going to leave any of us unwatched after his failure tonight” </div></blockquote><br/><br/>"Well," Ureck continued. "I'm pretty sure Lesik knows that I'm one of the Grangers' code writers, but because of that he most likely won't try to knock me off right away. He probably doesn't want to draw attention to himself by taking down one of the Grangers' members. The way I know them, if Lesik decided to kill off one of us, the Grangers would go to any length to take out the assailant. If not for compassion, then to prove their superiority."<br/><br/>Eventually, Lilium left and returned to the seat she occupied before the whole scuffle, chatting with Undol as he went. Ureck was no fool. He knew they were talking about him, most likely judging how good of a person he was to have under their wing. And odds are, they weren't chatting about him favorably. Glancing down at Rak, he sighed and, despite knowing he wouldn't get a response, started speaking. "You know your master well, don't you? Why doesn't she think I can be of any use? I know I'm not the most... apt of all fighters, but I was hoping my knowledge and inside access to the Grangers would be at least somewhat useful to them... But maybe that access really isn't that handy. As far as I know, the Grangers would probably tie me up and serve me to that bloody Lesik for dinner if he asked." Reaching down to give Rak a little scritch behind the ears (if he lets him without biting off his hand XD), he gave a baleful glance at Lilium and Undol again. "Maybe she's right. Stop trying to do stupid things like drop codes on cards and actually do something for the town. Maybe its time for me to break away... like Maria did..."<br/><br/>A clenched fist dropped onto the counter. "And to think I was worried about a deadline tonight," he growled, giving Rak a determined look. "Screw them. Like starlight breaks through the dark, its time for me to give Espen what it deserves."<br/><br/>Suddenly, he took another swig of the whiskey before getting up and approaching Lilium and Undol once again. "If you don't think I'm useful as a shadow," he brought up suddenly. "Let me be useful as a light. I want Lesik dead as much as either of you do, I despise his type the way I despise the Grangers and their disgusting game." He looked up and raised his posture, his form and his gaze now much harder and steadfast. "What would either of you suggest I do if I am to be useful to your endeavors? It's about time for me to actually do something for this town instead of just waiting and hiding. I can help you plan out attacks because I know the Grangers' patterns. I know where they keep valuables and information. I can give information of members you plan on targeting. Hell, I'll even be bait if you want. I have much to offer you, and as long as you promise not to leave me hanging I'll do whatever you think I should to help destroy Lesik and the Grangers. Just say the word. You've got a willing ally in me."<span style="font-style: italic">If they're up against that brute of a wolf, they can't be bad people. No more fear. Only faith, only light... </span>
