[b]"...Well, whatever, we won."[/b[ Was all Torie had to say as he picked Iggy up carefully, leaving Blaze to carry Aurora. Torie still couldn't believe it, they'd saved the town, nobody died, and there was a fat paycheck waiting back at the guild. The thought of getting his cut made Torie's mouth water, saliva visibly dribbling from the corner of his mouth. (None of which hit Iggy, thankfully.) as he mumbled: [b]"500,000...so...s-so...much..."[/b] Torie was on the verge of collapse himself, but through the nature of his shining, heroic spirit(and unparalleled levels of money grubbing), he remained standing. Thinking back on it, Torie figured he'd looked pretty cool, getting to deal the last hit like that. Of course, he couldn't take credit beyond that; in the back of his mind, he knew that Blaze and Iggy had gotten the worst of their forces, and even then, he didn't beat Rachel on his own. 

Of course, it wasn't about the message, it was about the damn money. And the fact that he could possibly get his sisters somewhere nicer, maybe even a home if the paychecks stayed at least half as nice. [b]"...500,000..."[/b] he continued to mutter, his dopey smile and saliva still present.
