Rask settles into the comfortable chair, having scraped his battle-weary battered body off the floor. He slows his breathing and closes his eyes and seems to be on very of sleep when he mutters, “Hadonis… giants…”
His eyes open and he sits up.
“Hadonis was in league with the giants from the beginning! It was a win-win for him,: if we survived great, we are more powerful allies, if we died, potential rivals were neutralized and he would gain our treasures.”
He pauses, clearly tired to his very bones.
“His hearts-anchor thing must have been ruse…” Rask trails off, tired and deeply body weary.
He looks around for a moment to see if anyone registers that he has shared what he, in his exhaustion clearly believes is an important revelation, and collapses back into the chair. The warrior begins to snore softly.
Alexis cocks his head and strokes his chin from another chair in the room. Then he gives a grunt. “Doesn’t feel right.”
Alexis shakes his head slowly “We need to be careful now. Without the anchor-things, we’ll need to tread carefully.”
Alexis shakes his head again, sorrowfully. “Poor giants.”
