"Uh...ok."

Alym tries to listen without seeming to listen.

It sounded like a one-sided conversation.

Carlom listens closely, trying to pin point where the quiet murmurs originated from

I'm gonna have him hang around doing nothing for the moment until more people escape before I try to figure out who the bard is talking to

She kept muttering phrases with no response. Technology wasn’t as advanced here as in real life, but it was akin to listening to a phone call.

A voice came from behind him. "It's rude to eavesdrop, you know."

There was a man behind him, a figure of dust. "Especially on such private a relationship."

His very presence seemed to warm them, and raise their spirits.

"Who are you?"

"Who are you?"

He smiled. "One who's been trying to fix my mistakes for so very long. I've been given a bit of silly name, if you wish to here it. Not the worst I've had, though. 'The Still Wind.'"

"A young man, I allowed to go so far off the path. He is known as Death, to those in these lands."

"Death? Can't say I've heard the name. Are we talking actual Death? Or is that just a title."

"A title."

You would have heard it - even if very vaguely - the least is that some mercenaries refer to themselves as "Favored of Death".

"A common tale. What are you doing here then? Talking to me about all this?"

"I will be there when people need me. And you, as well as the Bard, will be important in the coming times. I've learned a lot about the ugliness of humankind, when time turns to chaos."

Totally not filler while I wait for the others.

Besides, I wanna introduce the fantasy part of all this.

A Stoneward idealist, eh?

I appreciate the filler, all my other RPs are stalled waiting on other people to reply

*cough* TLT

 

Alym looks wary. "What is coming? And why would I be important?"
