As Gustav is inspecting the room for tracks and to understand the story of the bugbears, Alexis is standing in the back of the room with Ethelred, leaning against the wall playing with a coin across his knuckles.
“Hey. Thanks for knocking out the bugbear back there. You’re hands-down my best man for taking someone to meet the lord of sleep in one shot. Rask gets it done, but it’s not as clean.”
Alexis flicks the coin in the air and catches it. “Thanks.” Alexis nods his head slightly towards Ethelred in thanks.
“Funny how the smallest stone can turn the fates. Makes you think about some of the old fables, about how power is elusive. Brute strength is easy to see. The subtle art of the sling, the stone can be truly devastating.”
Red smiles a bit.
“Never when I was in Ageir did I think I could be a killer. Still not sure it suites me, but the adventure continues to call me forward.”
