The Land of Grimney - The Illustrated Adventures of Cora Pearl, aged 12

I've notched up a few kills in my time, but....

*He stares at Philomena and looks her up and down admiringly*.

We wouldn't wish to kill you, we could pass you around, I'm sure you'd enjoy that Philomena.

*He smiles*.

I expect to die with a sword in my hand. I'll die the way I choose, and if anyone puts a knife through my heart, I'd like it to be you. A face like yours being the last thing I see would suit me fine at the end.

*He looks at Selina*.

Speak for yourself, I'm here for the money.

You might just get your wish... but I don't use knives.

*Without warning a storm rages outside and then vanishes after just a minute. *

Only weak mortals need to use weapons. I could still the breath from your lips with just a click of my fingers... but Selina is right I dislike killing.

Please remember she is a Princess, Janc. Save this behaviour for the brothels in Gollema.

Oh you poor old thing. My aunt is very good, she can bring back someone even if they are five breaths away from death! Perhaps one day, you should visit me at Holme's Tavern and we shall see what can be done.

*She sighs*

Yes the tavern keeper. Poor Urat was stabbed by a poison blade and has never recovered his strength. He needs me.

*He listens as the storm fades away*.

Impressive...

*He sneers, smiles and claps his hands slowly*.

I feel the same way about bugs, as you do about humans.... Princess.... Strange you'd want to wed one of our low born kind. Considering they're so easily crushed.

*He sits back and folds his arms*.

I'll at least have made enough tobran for the brothels. So you're worth something to me Princess, but I've no time for royalty or your threats.

*He shakes his head and closes his eyes*.

Not that powerful are you Storm Maiden if you can't protect your friends. Far as I'm concerned we have Kalvos.... We hold all the cards... Princess....

*He chuckles under his breath*.

Don't let her manipulate you Guthren, she'll drown you given the chance...

Kalvos is worth a thousand of you.

*Her eyes flash angrily*

And yes, you have him which is why you are safe for now.

*She shakes her head*

Ridiculous creatures. You think my father wouldn't pay you more for my safe return than this rabble can for my kidnapping? Even Vort wouldn't be as stupid as this. You are the worst mercenary I have ever met. What are they even paying you?

[quote="PhilomenaAquitaine"]Kalvos is worth a thousand of you.

*Her eyes flash angrily*

Kalvos.... That traitor to the Crown... At least I've stayed loyal to the Vanguard of Scar. Where I come from being worst is a badge of pride.....

*He chuckles*.

And you're the worst mermaid princess I ever met. Betrayed your own people by getting pregnant by a human. That's nothing to be proud of.....

*He opens his eyes*.

You may look good Princess, but you're a ruthless killer at heart. And I see a heart as black as pitch.... Wouldn't take much to make you like me.... Just a little push.....

*He sneers*.

I'm just here for the killing. I want the Chaos Engine out of the way....

Guthren.... She doesn't care about you.... You're her kidnapper.... You go to that tavern she'll turn you over to her father and he'll skin your spindly hide.
