Irari intervened before she could be an eyewitness to several murders. Any worries about his potential fate were washed away with the proposed plan. His eyes widened as Irari explained, they were going to make a move much sooner than he had expected. They weren't going to waste time with...

Blissfully unaware that the others were awaiting Wren's reaction with bated breath, William presented the dress with Jace. The explosion wasn't long coming. Wren's voice was dangerously calm. The way the sea could be before a storm. He started to have misgivings as she corrected him in that...

Just about everyone could picture the altercation upstairs. They were silent while listening to Gwen roaring and Varo nearly being sent flying down the stairs. William focused on getting into dry clothes before he died of hypothermia. Conversation resumed but it was punctuated by angry stomping...

Jace showed that he wasn't just a pretty face by suggesting that maybe, just maybe, Wren mightn't be too well disposed to receiving a dress from them. The only reason he was going along with it was because William was twenty plus months older than him and practically venerable with knowledge in...

"The feeling is the exact same for me" William admitted, "She was out all day kneecapping people. I'm not sure if bringing her cake will help". It couldn't hurt though, "Maybe something then....just to keep her off our backs for a while". Most underestimated Wren. She wasn't particularly tall or...

William, like Jace, was content to sit in silence feeling sorry for himself while trying to fight off early stage hypothermia. The wine made a bit of a difference but he was still shaking all over while drinking it. Still, a fine warmth started spreading through parts of him. Irari sensed the...

If Jace was upset then William was incandescent with rage. The door was kicked in despite standing orders being to the contrary. William couldn't help being a bit immature and sulky right now. The figure that came in through the door was sopping wet and looked like something that crawled out...

William could actually tolerate angry violent Wren better than mock concern teasing Wren. He managed to wrench his hand from her grip while her face twisted in a pout of concern, her words dripping with sarcasm. He kept his mouth shut though, he'd been hit enough today. He nodded at Varo's...

William's protests to Wren died rather quickly as she pointed her blade at him. He'd seen how quick she was with them. That and her inch of a height advantage that she could make seem like ten at times. He had to settle for grumbling under his breath. Irari got their attention though. For such...

Mercifully, Jace's arrival distracted Wren from threatening William and got all of her attention. He tensed though as she marched over the table, snatching his ale and downing it with a satisfied gulp. A smirk was on her face as she dumped the tankard back on the table. Despite all the roaring...

"He knows enough counting when it comes to money" William said but he gave a grateful sigh as the ale was brought to him Varo "Thanks". He pinched the bridge of his nose to try and stop the blood while taking a hefty gulp of alcohol. He winced as a sodden rag got tossed into his lap. Wren had...

William limped down the street. His body ached all over and there was still blood coming from his nose. It wasn't his first beating but they never got any easier. Remi's gang weren't exactly experts but an amateur with stamina was almost as bad. He wheezed, hoping that the pain didn't mean any...

William did his best to move even a fraction further back from the fire while also trying to appear like he wasn't. Melfa looked capable of tearing a human limb from limb. Someone small and scrawny would barely be a challenge. His nose sniffed. He'd be happy if the reeds were only soaked with...

William groaned at the komodo's query. "Learn. Common" he stressed in a weary tone. Melfa had a unique grasp of the language that sometimes defied belief. He shook his head and tried to focus back on Jeriah. He spun a pretty tale but there was no telling if he was being economical with the...

William's eyes were suspicious when Jeriah pronounced the plan 'simple'. It was a word he didn't trust. It went hand in hand with phrases like 'It'll be a piece of cake', 'It shouldn't be any bother', and 'You'll figure it out'. The charlatan's dismay seemed almost genuine this time though. The...
