The 'Tavern Keeper' stared at Alteney, looking to each side, before raising his hands defensively. "Uh, look mate, I ain't actually in charge here, everyone's away up at the Castle. I'm just sneakin' in a few free drinks..." he hissed, backing away slowly.
"Oh, is this because I'm Human?" Joachim snapped at Melina, who scoffed again.
"No, it's because you're a Ranger. Fools who try and devote themselves to everything. I'll tell you now, there are only two kinds of people who can do that properly, Archmages, and the Undead. You are neither. You are a Fool to think you can do what they do, for it is only the exceptionally long-lived who can do so." |
