Grael:
he had always been suspicious when making deals with mercs.
he had to do it before to get them this far.
"w-we already agreed on price. s-so if thats wat ur getting at ur not going to get any payment until where all across the border and safe"
the truth was that the villagers had very very little money on them.
theyd be lucky enough to be able to pay 2 of the mercs let alone all of them.
he had managed to keep this problem a secret. the plan was that when all the villagers were safe then he would somehow deal with the mercs payment.
he didnt know if that was what the merc was going to ask but the responsibility of protecting his family and the other villagers was on him and so he had to at least appear in control.

(((^^ is u char a telepath or just good at reading ppls body language? i dont mind either way)))
Grael:
"w-wat do u m-mean i-i m-mean w-we have the money"
he was scared now. how did he know.
he couldn't let the the other mercs know. this one may be understanding but wat if the others arnt.
the whole piont they hired mercs was becuase they couldnt protect themselves.
god what if theres a fight we wouldnt stand a chance he had to stay confident
"we have ur money dont u wrry about that"
"wat do u want me to do"
thats when it hit him.
he had heard rumers of mages who could read minds but that was just rumers. the mages society even pronounced that such abilitys were impossible.
could this guy be a mage? he doesnt look like the rich educated type?
but wat if it was true could this guy be reading my mind now?
he tried to stop thinking about anything important just in case.

Grael:
he fumbled trying to catch the jars luckily he didnt drop them
he had deffinatly underestimated this merc.
he was beginning to wrry if the other mercs had noticed that too.
(sigh)"um ill be right with u"
he didnt bring up the money again.
he was just glad that the merc still thought there was a chest of gold in the carage they had brought along.
truth be told the chest was empty.
the villagers all agreed to tell the mercs the chest held the money.
just in case any possible thief thought hed get smart.
the money was hidden safely in the bottom of a rice barrel they had filled.
not being anythign close to a chef
he quickly went to get the towns butcher maybe he knew how how to make tea.
Curl:"What!! thats the second jug hes had"
Grael: just make the tea i think hes on to us about the money.

grael:
he got back with the tea
"here u go fresh as u can get"
he had also managed to get one of the few weapons they had in there carage
he had taken the sword from the guard he had killed.
he felt uneasy carrying it.
that poor man he thought he would have had a family too. he didn't deserve to die.
"i-ill be right behind u"
he had been hunting before a few wild bores were the worst he had ever come across and that was with 5 other villagers there to help him out.
but he couldnt pass up hte chance of a good meal they had been eating rice and wheat for days now.
and everyone could use a good meal

grael:
he hurried along behind the merc.
he seemed really confident.
he was wondering if he was serious about the barrels of tea.
that would deffinatly make paying him alot easier.
then he thought about the other thing he said 4-5 wolves *gulp*
he drew his sword and held it tight. if the village ever had a wolve problem they usually got the gaurds or hunters to deal with it. but the hunters were drafted two days before they left the village.....before he killed the guard.

grael:
"Ah"
he didnt expect the wolf to come jumping out of the bushes.
he fumbled yet again and dropped his sword.
the wolf was huge and yet the merc didnt hesitate to slice at it several times.
he thought about wat he had said. he had killed before just not wat he would have liked

grael:
holy s**t is all he could think as he watched the massacre in front of him.
he picked up the last wolf and threw it over his shoulder.
he was a strong man he was after all a smith but fighting was never his forte.
he picked up the sword "oh god" it was still covered in blood and grim.
when he got back to camp he gave the wolves to the butcher to skin and prepare.
wed eat the first wolf tonight and save the other two he thought.
he still couldnt believe that the merc was so ruthless and quick he had slayed the wolves in seconds without hesitation. it made him worry about wat the other mercs could potentially do.

Togan: (villager son of Grael, 18 )
he sat by the small fire they had made he noticed as his father went out with one of the mercs.
this is stupid he thought. we travel all this way to hire 4 mercenaries 4!!! wat are they going to do.
"i dont care how skilled they think they are there not going to be able to do anything if we come up against a bunch of soldiers"
he looked over at the other mercenaries
thats when one of them caught his eye. (((tamika)))
she was young and beautiful
wow he thought to himself.
how could she be a merc look at her.
"careful lad" another villager said so him
he disregarded the comment and made his way over to her
"hey my name is Togan" " so ur supposed to be protecting us right?"
"if u ask me a pretty thing like u is the one who needs protecting"
the other villagers watching just laughed at the lesson Togan was soon to learn.
