[color=6ecff6][b]"Hah...hahah… if stealing a loaf of bread is ones biggest worry, then one should be considered to be lucky. Slaying a brother? Not quite there yet. But who can tell where the tale may tread, perhaps said brother will in turn try to end me? Well isn't that sort of uncertainty what makes life worth living? When it comes to coercion, I have no need to use threats, I deal only in promises."[/b][/color] The blonde man stepped slightly closer to the iron bars, blowing some air from his mouth. [color=6ecff6][b]"So he was indeed a blightborn. That dark-eyed and dark haired young man. So temperamental too. As one may expect from the young. Yet he did seem to try his outmost to try conceal his true self. His intentions. The sweeter the words, the more poisonous they often be. Yet this one's eagerness seems to have indeed gotten the better of him. This boy has attempted to shake the very foundation of this place, the haven for the afflicted, trying to meddle with the great plan to properly save this world… from itself. However unlike many others, which may live and learn by their mistakes. This one will not have that fortune. Because he will be hunted down and squeezed like a lemon til there's nothing left but a dried shell for the fire..."[/b][/color] Gadez gave a slightly sinister smile. [color=6ecff6][b]"By royal decree."[/b][/color] He said in a eerie tone of voice. [color=6ecff6][b]"I had however expected him to come by here, upon having learnt of my presence here. Boys seeking to act like men always do seek to prove themselves when faced with a challenge. Hnn.. well I suppose the guards must have kept him busy. Would explain why guardsman Zephyros of the gentle breeze, left for some coal and papers, so that I could draw the face of said boy... but the dear guardsman never returned last night. Makes one wonder... why that is? I would do a head-count, If I were the guard commander. However... I am but a humble gardener. What would I possibly know? Hah...hah...hahah..."[/b][/color] Gadez chuckled softly, and traced his finger along the iron bars, as he slowly walked on his side of the cell. [color=6ecff6][b]"As for what my crimes are? Most of it is rooted in telling the truth. No matter how grim or bitter it may be. The dear, oh so rightious, and truly all-seeing... bovine minded 'Champion' of Aelios didn't find my displeasure for a peculiar King to be acceptable. After she had the audacity to eavesdrop. Shows how much they care for other peoples privacies. Not to worry, my stay here is temporary. As is all things truly. Nothing is eternal. On the bright side, the lodging and food is free 'barring' the underperforming view. Not to mention people have no choice but to talk with me here. So in a matter of looking at it, I am making the guard force slighlty more resistant to... taunts."[/b][/color] He snickered and pulled his hair back. [color=6ecff6][b]"But manners. I am Gadez. A humble gardener, performer and a few other things. This place isn't all bad. It has given me the perfect place to draw said wolf to, would he seek to prove himself. With iron bars in the way. Magical wardings to render most magic unusable. One cannot help but wonder, would it work on the afflicted? Well, regardless a boy such as that mangy wolf isn't likely to try attack someone who cannot fight back. His pride wouldn't surely allow for it. So would said assailant of the princess come here, unlock this door here... then not only would I be free to leave, I would also be doing the place a favor by removing this obstacle. Even if the boy will not show up, this is an ample place to be for the prince to later visit and not feel... uneasy. Same goes for some others. I am gardener after all. I plant seeds. I water them. And tend to them. Some might even draw the conclusion that I intentionally want to be within this place. But who would be able to tell what's what? Now then... whom might you be, bronze skin?"[/b][/color] Gadez smiled and tilted his head to the side, his eyes turning into slits, making him almost look like an overly pleased cat.
