"I keep track of everything here. Been working with Red almost from the beginning." Jack eyed him. "How did you two meet exactly?"

"I walked up to her, and we started talking. That's it if you disregard the 20 or so sets of eyes and ears that really wanted to watch us. Can't figure out if it was me or her that they were interested in."

"I tend to drift a little, not sticking in a place when I'm no longer wanted. My last job was for some purpled eyed guy, he needed some extra muscle in his town; I decided to split as soon as my contact was done, not a good job if ya catch my drift. Now you crystal merchant folk, you attract a lot of the wrong kind of attention; the kind that you hire me to deal with. I can see myself sticking with you guys for a while."

"What exactly have you dealt with in your previous jobs?"
The Ward's Guard he/him Posted November 9, 2020 Posted November 9, 2020 3 minutes ago, Aspiring Writer said: Jack frowned. "What exactly have you dealt with in your previous jobs?" "I'm glad you asked. Mainly I've dealt with tough idiots who try to beat up me or the guys who hire me. I love the jobs where just being there makes it so that the problems solved, but I doubt this is the case. If you want the specifics, then you're out of luck; I'm no good at keeping records."

Jack's frown deepened. " Bandar... this isn't a simple jo like your previous ones. Those people who you noticed watching you, they probably wanted Red dead. And now you by association."

"You mean to tell me that I just happened upon a person in a tavern with a long list of enemies devoted to ending her life, and I just signed up to protect her?"

Jack nodded. "And seeing as she hired you in a very public place, quitting may not be much of an option."

"And seeing as she hired you in a very public place, quitting may not be much of an option." Bandar smiled. "It seems that I found the most interesting job purely by accident. I don't think that I've ever been this lucky in my life! Not that there's much competition, you won't believe how much I've lost at games of chance. I officially take back all of my curses to Lady Luck."

And I am glad to say you have come to the right place." Jack closed his book, still laughing. "We've had four other bodyguards before you, and once they heard how much they would have to face, they all looked like they wanted nothing more than to jump out the nearest window. But you... you heard of how many people wanted to kill you and smiled. You will fit in nicely, assuming you survive all the assassins who want us dead."

"Like my dear sister used to say, if you don't make any enemies, you've never done anything with your life. Of course, she was a bit batty, but it makes sense to me. You lot seem to have taken this advice to heart as well."

The Ward's Guard he/him Posted November 9, 2020 Posted November 9, 2020 Just now, Aspiring Writer said: Jack nodded. "So how used are you to traveling?" "A fair bit I'd say; my homeland is quite far, and I didn't take the straightest route."

"Well, in the morning, Red will be taking us somewhere, where I'm sure you'll see some action. Pretty sure that was why she was so quick to hire you."

Bandar paused before stroking his wispy facial hair. "I guess that didn't make as much sense as I thought it would."

But Red seems to trust you, so I guess you're fine." jack paused. "That, or she wanted to have a distraction if everything went to hell."

Quote We planning on doing anything all of you who dropped in for that tavern scene, and have since disappeared? @Channelknight Fadran @Condensation @Experience @MusicalReader and whoever else.
