I want no part in hunting down loyalists to the deposed empress."</strong>He was completely unaware that he was talking to the empress as he continued to wash himself of the several days of travel and whilst both were nude, the mood wasn't one of intimacy. When she asked if something was wrong, it was clear he had something on his mind and he bluntly speaks to her of it.<strong>"And we need to talk a touch more."</strong>Thinking on just how to approach this he took a moment to drape his cloak down on the shores of the river and sat down. Collecting his thoughts, he pats the spot next to him to offer her a seat. And he shows his blunt nature as his eyes glance over to her. He honestly didn't care if she was of angelic blood and he of tiefling blood. Right now all he cared about was what she said before.<strong>"Running off with you means my death if lucky and your retraining."</strong>He started and then gets straight to the point.<strong>"Why are you willing to run off with a bounty hunter with those consequences. You said once before that you hated the idea of being a commoner and enjoyed the potential opulence of the Thakur. So why change your mind?"</strong>He was going to wind up skeptical if it was a simple explanation of love. Such things were of naive romance.
