"It's not so much me hanging out with him," Brian said.  "He'll wander into places that I'm at.  I tend to just hang out with the kobolds.  And the magicians, on occasion.  But beyond that I just try to ignore him."  Brian shrugged his shoulders, the second meat pie was bitten and started to chew.  "He does his thing whenever he's around anyone, though.  He's an asshole.  Nothing that either of us can change, most likely."
