"I have no parents or family of which to speak of," he muttered softly under his breath and shook his head as he knew trying to tell her was a foolish idea and yet he went through it anyways, now she would no doubt try to make him see things differently when she just let that sleeping dog sleep and then looked at the stranger who seemed bent on insulting him, or so he thought. "And do you yourself seek death in her most glorious form, combat?" he asked as he stopped from cleaning to listen to what the girl had to say though when she went on about something that he had only heard in fables and stories and believed it to be nothing more than that, just like the Lady herself being made up and was used as nothing more than an icon.<br/><br/>He nodded his head though, "I have heard of it lass, and something like will no doubt be guarded by a rather powerful beast..." he said and then went off as he started to speak to himself. "And even then, the journey itself will no doubt have powerful foes and beasts along the way that I can test my mettle and see if they will bring about my doom or if I must seek out my next opponent." He was stroking his beard as he muttered all of this and looked as if he was contemplating it, but he was already sold on the idea that he might find his doom in fighting whatever may guard the Shadow.<br/><br/>"Alright then lass, you can consider my weapons to be at your beck and call, but know that I'm not helping you change this city for the better." he warned as he looked at her with his one good eye while returning to what little work there was to cleaning the barroom up. "I'm only coming along as there's a good chance that there may very well be a being along the way that may finally best me in combat." he said, indicating that that was the only true reason why he was coming along with her.
