Whitefish River One Way or Another

Securing his spot between the stranger and Ira, Hieronymous, despite now being ignored by the torn man, was not going to be a shadow in this conversation. Unfortunately Ira had answered the call and now he was on edge, duty-bound to leap into action should things get sour and thankfully she took her own precautions by staying back. He introduced himself to me as a rogue who abandoned his previous pack, apparently for a new beginning. Not knowing the history of this man, Hiero couldn't make heads or tails on what that meant.

He was turned away by the Empire, he seeks to join us instead. He says he's a fighter and believes someone is acting on the Empress' behalf and rejected his joining request. Which was the gist of how the conversation went.
