Snippet #2073562

Alain halted at the girl's words. Reward, huh? Hmm. He stood still for a moment and contemplated. Finally, he shrugged, "To be perfectly honest, I do not really care what you or your Lord think, nor does your gender affect my judgment of you. I simply do not care. However..." he turned back to look at her and smirked from under his cowl, "Gold I do care for, and if you were to say offer me a fine sum, as well as the guarantee that I leave this hum-drum castle uncontested, then I could be persuaded to accompany the young miss, but a question first, and then rules to my employ. Who are you that you carry yourself in such a way as you do? You are no maid, your garments show that, but you are noble wench either. You have spilt blood with a weapon, I see it on you hands send in your eyes. Yet you are no knight, you do not carry yourself in that manner. I am puzzled. And secondly. Do not command me. Do not touch me or my weapons. And lastly, if I am to accompany you, you do as I say when I say it. There is danger ahead, or you think there to be or you would not exude trepidation as you do. I will not end up dead for a fool girl. Do not be that fool girl." He said seriously, waiting for her response.
