He'd arrived a day ahead of schedule if only because he had decided it would be better to travel through half of the night than spend another sleeping by the road. The mercenary drummed his fingers on the instrument for a moment before musing to himself. [color=00a651]"Hey Cat, I should buy a bow."[/color] A voice echoed in his head with a faint note of derision. [i][color=0072bc]I had been under the assumption that you had come to the capital in order to better your skills in some way and thus become more worthy of my power. I can't see how your purchasing such a weapon would help in this endeavor.[/color][/i] He sighed and rapped his knuckles harder on the Tome. The strings began to hum in a somewhat indignant tone. [color=00a651]"Not that sort of bow. A musical one. I'd like to learn to play."[/color] [i][color=0072bc]I don't see how that would help matters either.[/color][/i]This time the voice hinted at approval.[i][color=0072bc]Let's both stick at what we excel at. I offer excellent advice and you follow it in a way that isn't entirely inept... And break things. [sub]Though I don't doubt that you might eventually become proficient.[/sub][/color][/i] He walked in silence for a few minutes longer before Damien stopped and stood still in the middle of the street. [color=00a651]"I'm not even sure where I'm headed. I've never even visited the capital before."[/color] [i][color=0072bc]And you expect me to know the area any better? It might be best to simply find a place to sleep until the morning.[/color][/i] Damien groaned. He'd been looking forward to being able to sleep in a real bed but it looked now like that wouldn't be possible. It was well past the hour where any reasonable inn would be open to guests. His shoulders fell and he looked around for a moment before walking into the nearest alleyway and sitting against the wall. [color=00a651]"Wake me if somebody happens to wander by."[/color]
