"You absolute maniac..." he replies with wonder to Drek, trying to decide whether the man was pulling his leg or not, before Lilithe distracts him with a question.

"I meant what I said back there Lilith." He answered. "If you guy hadn't show up when you did I'd be dead. Besides which..."

Once he'd found an ugly story it wasn't something he could just let go because, more often than not, there was a monster waiting at the end and monsters had to be fought. "I just want to help. I like you guys."

He looks over at Sarrai'a as she comes up, looking grimly at that man on her shoulder. Speaking of ugly stories...

"I think the best we can do is care for him and hope he wakes up."
