- -- nervyMoxie [NM] stops in the clearing, listening for any sounds of pursuit. --
- NM: ... I think we're in the clear, b☼ys!
- RO: we are resting then?
- NM: Yup! This sh☼uld be g☼☼d en☼ugh!
- NM: If any ☼f th☼se flat-f☼☼ted b☼☼tlickers c☼me runnin' after us, we'll be able t☼ hear them fr☼m miles away!
- -- ragamuffinOutlook [RO] leans against a tree --
- RO: a vagabond could go on running for a lot longer
- NM: Speak f☼r y☼urself! I'd like a warm meal bef☼re I g☼ ☼n runnin'.
- NM: Carryin' all this l☼☼t gives ya a l☼t ☼f weight.
- NM: Squinteye, Burntear!! Set up the tents, will ya?
- -- ragamuffinOutlook [RO] smiles --
- RO: ah, to think how often a vagabond has had to make do with digging a hole in the ground
- NM: Well, rej☼ice buddy, because y☼u h☼pped ☼n the right gravy train!
- NM: N☼ tr☼ll ☼f mine's g☼nna sleep ☼n the gr☼und like s☼me begger.
- -- nervyMoxie [NM] tosses down her bag of loot and admires a golden, bejeweled watch. --
- NM: Y☼u did pretty g☼☼d f☼r a vagab☼nd, I g☼tta say!
- RO: a vagabond tries to impress
- RO: why, how long has a pilferer being doing this?
- NM: A c☼uple a'sweeps! Ever since I ditched the army waaay back when, if ya wanna kn☼w.
- NM: My talent's t☼☼ g☼☼d t☼ be wasted ☼n s☼me fat fishes.
- RO: so a pilferer takes all the loot for herself then?
- RO: well, most of it
- -- ragamuffinOutlook [RO] takes out a gold necklace and examines it --
- -- nervyMoxie [NM] pockets the watch and rummages through another bag. --
- NM: Y☼u c☼uld say! 50% f☼r me, 25% g☼es t☼ my c☼-leader, and the ☼ther 25% gets divided by the men.
- NM: Th☼ugh t☼ be h☼nest, I've had t☼ barter a shitt☼n ☼f my l☼☼t f☼r supplies, s☼ I ain't exactly the richest tr☼ll here!
- NM: It ain't a big deal. L☼☼t's meant t☼ be shared between family.
- RO: hey if its riches a pilferer is after there surely must be better ways considering her blood than an outlaw
- NM: Ya kiddin' me? That's s☼ b☼ring!
- NM: Sitting ar☼und, yakkin' with s☼me high-class fishface when I can be ☼ut with my b☼w?
- NM: N☼ sir, this girl d☼es what she wants, and she ain't g☼ing t☼ let herself be tamed!
- RO: a girl after a vagabonds own heart, though it wasnt a cushy life of hobnobbing he deserted from
- NM: Be thankful, then! I mean, I'd rather live a th☼usand lives as an exciting l☼wbl☼☼d than ☼ne ☼f a highbl☼☼d stiff!
- NM: Y☼u g☼t it pretty g☼☼d.
- RO: a good life?
- NM: If ya didn't as a vagab☼nd, y☼u d☼ n☼w!
- -- nervyMoxie [NM] examines an ornate dagger and offers it to him. --
- -- ragamuffinOutlook [RO] takes the dagger, and experimentally balances it on the tip of a finger --
- RO: perhaps a piferer flatters herself
- RO: she doesn't think a vagabond would be better off on his own?
- NM: Hey, I ain't said n☼thing ☼f that s☼rt.
- NM: I'm sure y☼u can handle y☼urself, just like y☼u did back at that camp!
- NM: But it's a hell l☼t better when y☼u're with like-minded tr☼lls, y'see?
- NM: An' I can guarantee y☼u that y☼u'll get a little perk every n☼w an' then.
- RO: really? a vagabond wont beg for anything
- RO: well, unless its to get someone to show where their wallet is like that one time...
- -- nervyMoxie [NM] laughs. --
- NM: Y☼u ain't g☼t t☼ d☼ any begging ar☼und here. Like I said, I take care ☼f my men! If I like 'em, I'll t☼ss a little s☼mething their way.
- NM: That's all there is t☼ it.
- RO: oh, then what does a pilferer like in her men then?
- NM: A l☼yal tr☼ll wh☼ keeps their w☼rd, wh☼'s able t☼ keep up with me. Maybe just a little bit g☼☼d l☼☼kin' t☼☼.
- NM: Ain't t☼☼ much t☼ ask f☼r, is it?
- -- nervyMoxie [NM] B) --
- RO: Well a vagabond doesn't know about first one
- RO: we're all lying outlaws here aint we?
- NM: I d☼n't mind a little lyin'. But I d☼ l☼☼k d☼wn ☼n a tr☼ll wh☼ d☼n't keep their pr☼mises!
- NM: Ain't n☼thing w☼rse than a pr☼mise-breaker.
- RO: a pilferer didnt break any promises when she left the army?
- RO: a vagabond did
- NM: I didn't pr☼mise them n☼thin'!
- NM: They never pr☼mised me anythin', s☼ I d☼n't see why I'd help them ☼ut.
- NM: And l☼ng as y☼u d☼n't break any pr☼mises t☼ me, we're g☼☼d.
- NM: L☼tsa tr☼lls wh☼ made mistakes in life, but if they g☼t s☼methin' in them, I like t☼ give them a sec☼nd chance!
- RO: a pilferer is too kind
- NM: Kindness an' b☼☼ty gets y☼u pretty far in life, I find!
- -- nervyMoxie [NM] The merry trolls are cooking some musclebeast. It smells quite good. --
- RO: well a vagabond might agree with the booty part
- NM: Heh. If I had a caeger f☼r every time I've heard that!
- NM: Ya hungry? B☼ys g☼t s☼me meat b☼ilin' there!
- RO: a vagabond does have good appetite
- -- nervyMoxie [NM] slaps him on the back. --
- NM: C☼me ☼n then! Let's ch☼w d☼wn!
- RO: sure thing pilferer
- -- nervyMoxie [NM] is now an idle chum! --
- NM: C'm☼n, y☼u can just call me Risksh☼t!
- RO: and change a vagabond's quirk just for you?
- NM: I'm sure y☼u can make an excepti☼n just this ☼nce~
- RO: well if a riskshot insists...
- RO: wait no got that wrong
- -- ragamuffinOutlook [RO] quickly turns away --
- NM: Hey! D☼n't g☼ hidin' y☼ur face there.
- -- ragamuffinOutlook [RO] slowly turns back around --
- RO: you know... riskshot, a vagabond is pretty used to hiding his face at this point
- NM: Well, a pilferer thinks that a vagab☼nd sh☼uld get un-used t☼ it, then, because it ain't t☼☼ bad a face.
- RO: Well, seeing how as being caught means death or worse, there aren't many trolls a vagabond a freely show it to
- RO: lucky you
- NM: Aww, y☼u kn☼w just h☼w t☼ talk t☼ a girl!
- NM: C'm☼n, we g☼tta jump in if we're g☼nna get any f☼☼d!
- RO: oh, yes, a vagabonds got plenty booty but itll last while food goes cold
- -- ragamuffinOutlook [RO] pulls away and heads towards the food --
- -- nervyMoxie [NM] skips after. --
