Dragoncrest Cliffs Scarred

Hmm.  Now, here was a question... what did this mean, his presence here.  Did it show a lack of loyalty, or did it show an instinct that Rosalyn both shared and respected - a willingness to question for oneself what truth was.  She considered it, rolled it on her tongue a moment, while she also mulled on the words he'd just spoken.  Peaceful, family-oriented.  The bitch's face, her ruined eye.  It wasn't fair for the pirate to judge appearances, so it was the demeanor she looked at.  Hardly.

If they do not offer what they promised, and you find yourself looking for fairer harbor - perhaps we can speak another time.  Until then, I wish you luck in that.  She had seen his furtive looks and guessed at what that meant.  Doubtless they did not know that he was here, and doubtless he would pay should they find out.  Well; were that the case, perhaps this one would leave their ranks and join hers to become a balwark instead.  She did not mind that thought.
