### Hawke – Burning Hold (24th Floor)


Hawke listened as Hazard waffled on, mostly unimpressed. He knew information brokers, Bulby being one of them, as after all the Braziers made a lot of money from selling information about the front-line floors. _‘Having an broker so close by would certainly have it’s advantages’_ thought Hawke. However no sooner had Hazard gained some mild level of approval did he then strip it away again, **_“I'm not really searching to join your guild. It has enough reknown to attract some players anyway. I just want to watch you from a close distance. Detective play, if you want to call it that.”_**

Hawke didn’t like the idea of being watched, and doubted many could see a positive aspect to the idea. **_“Either you are guilty of the deads of your partners, or you are not. Either way, it might sell at a good price. That's the only reason I am here. You don't even have to add me to the guild. It isn't a question whether I'll stay around or not, I'll just stay here."_** Hazard continued, so nonchalantly that Hawke seriously considered shoving his spear through the boy’s face. Their deaths were still a fresh wound after all, and here they were standing in their memorial. 

Hawke was about to drag the broker outside when another group appeared in the doorway and interrupted the moment. **_"Hawke! So sorry to hear about the guild. Not sure if you remember us, It's Romulus and Remus, and we brought a plus one!"_** Romulus smiled at his joke. He was the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral because it is too much stress. **_"Now, where shall I sit down?"_**

Deciding to simply ignore the man that had been harassing him, Hawke walked over to greet the new visitors. “No…” Hawke replied before turning to Remus, “Though your face is slightly familiar. You’re a part of the Order.” Hawke tiredly rubbed his head, unsure of why people seemed to know him when he had absolutely no idea who they were. Either he just never bothered to remember them (which was likely), or they had heard about him or the guild and decided to just act like they knew him. 

“Are the three of you looking to join?” he asked, unable to think of another reason why anyone would show-up.
