[Oh hey, fantastic, you didn't have to get killed/tortured. Good to know, man. I feel relieved.

AKA, STONEWALLING.]

[content to just sit here quietly and watch camp go by]

[eaglecocktail.livejournal.com]

[We're just going to sit here for awhile, then, in very, very uncomfortable silence]

[eaglegenius.livejournal.com]

... We killed him.

I'm sorry.

[eaglecocktail.livejournal.com]

... He told me you stabbed him.

[but hey, is that a hint of "What the fuck did you do" in his voice?]

[eaglegenius.livejournal.com]

We were not in our right minds.

[eaglecocktail.livejournal.com]

No shit.

[sulk]

[eaglegenius.livejournal.com]

He was brave.

[eaglecocktail.livejournal.com]

No, he's a fucking idiot. And I'm an idiot for leaving before finishing the job.

[eaglegenius.livejournal.com]

We would have killed you too, if you had stayed.

[eaglecocktail.livejournal.com]

I'm not as easy to kill as he is.

[eaglegenius.livejournal.com]

Good. He walked right into it.

[eaglecocktail.livejournal.com]

I told you, he's an idiot. And he doesn't fight, he just gives us information.

[sigh, head in hands why am I talking to youuuu]

[eaglegenius.livejournal.com]

He did protect you.

[because we have to someday~]

[eaglecocktail.livejournal.com]

No, it's more he told me about places and people.

... Why are you talking to me?

[eaglegenius.livejournal.com]

You and I are related.

[eaglecocktail.livejournal.com]

... Yeah. We are.

[eaglegenius.livejournal.com]

I'd like to know more about you.

[eaglecocktail.livejournal.com]

What's there to know?

[he shrugs]

I was a bartender for awhile, before the Templars found me and dragged me back into this war.

[eaglegenius.livejournal.com]

You weren't born an assassin?

[eaglecocktail.livejournal.com]

... I was. But I left.

[eaglegenius.livejournal.com]

[mulling that over]

You said the Templars were involved.
