What he once found adorable was now starting to be a little creepy.<br/>"This mission is going poorly, my friends. Very poorly indeed! Not one, but two members of Rake Valkier and Company have gone missing! One of them hauling off the living source of information on the other. This sorceress must be dealt with, and soon!" He turned around and stalked over to the table.<br/><br/>"Rodney, I suspect we'll need your abilities to speak with the dead tomorrow. Sadly, corpses will be our most useful informants at this juncture."<br/><br/>At the rock woman declaration that she was heading to bed, Rake tried to catch her arm. "Wait a moment, Onyx. I have a proposal for you and miss Kate. It would seem that my company has a few openings available. We offer extensive benefits, such as exploration, adventure, glory, and 25% of any loot, reward, pillage, or plunder. Though there is a 5% surcharge on any Glory gained, as traveling with an amazing person like myself has the unfortunate effect of drawing all adoring eyes to me. What do you say, hmm? Want to be part of the company?"
