Neverwinter Forest A bad penny always turns up.

Man, that rambling. Did he even know anyone else who went on like that? Probably not. Maybe Zephyr went off on some crazy rant once, but that was all of once and he couldn't remember too clearly now -- it was unimportant so he chucked that fact out of his brain. Either way, he nodded to Simmik. Yeah, this dude was kind of troublesome already. But the question was what was the cause? He wasn't sure. It seemed super foolish to him, but he knew Cam had trespassed by accident, not malice, so it was just back to pinning down whether this newbie was more of a hindrance than help. Giving second chances is one thing, but if we do, he'd better learn to pay attention to his nose real quick. His attention shifted back to the guy, I don't care how exciting things are, if you don't learn that, you'll end up messed up or dead. Some of the other packs out here would have definitely shredded you. So if I decide you get to stay, think you can do that?

And just because Simmik might be more obviously playing bad cop, it didn't make Mal the good one. He had his own approach to it all -- he was the leader here, no question, but it was also no question that he knew that they had the upper hand in all ways here. This youth was fortunate he didn't go stumbling into Moonspear or someone else like that. This is Neverwinter Forest. I'm Mal. So who're you? Got any skills that'll make us forget that you messed up? Would that send the kid into a tailspin rant again?
