Davkul Mire

“No, I haven’t heard your title before, Aeka.” He responded to the Larthos’ question. Though he noted a slight expectation in the way she had asked it. So he tried to play it down a little as he continued. “Though, I am not familiar with much of the world beyond my-” He stopped. “-where I lived.” He changed the phrasing. He couldn’t very well call it his home now. Thought village had been a hostile place, it was still where he grew up. She shrugged off the homesick feeling, then set to responding to her other comments.

“And I assure you that Xandun will cause you no harm. I will order him to assist you and keep you safe as he does me. He may hold a grudge, but he will not disobey an order of the one he owes life debt. He was a warrior of our village. They hold personal honor above little else and his father was one of the few who to have completed a life debt. You need not worry about him attacking you while you sleep. That and he would not go for the spleen, it is bad meat. The liver is much better.” Dav paused for a moment, getting his thoughts back on track after having gone off on that tangent.

He suddenly took a step forward, remembering what she had said about introductions. “I am Davkul.” He said, placing his right hand over his chest. “Though I prefer Dav, as it is easier for me to say.” He withheld his surname, as it gave no real information on his lineage beyond his status as a fatherless bastard. “And my brother over there is Xandun Icehide. I am sure our alliance will bring good things to both parties, Aeka Rynaos Soul Alchemist.” He nodded at his statement, giving the sign that he was double affirming it.

Though beyond the introduction, he noticed that he was touching the dried blood from his wounds. Which led him to realize the results of the previous battle. In which he had lost his dagger, the food he had intended for this brother, and formed three large blood stains surrounding small holes in his cloak and shirt. “I suppose I should do something about these stains. I don’t suppose you have acquired residence for the night? I was in the middle of searching for one when we encountered one another. However, I was having little luck as the inns I visited all had rates that where more than I have.”
