In reply to: Erlic, Valhorek, Corum & Yorik 's message, "New avenues" on 19:54:57 04/02/02 Tue

Argus didn't know Erlic well enough to realize that his comments about Jade were very unusual for him, so he just nodded as Erlic said he thought Jade might be the right one.

When Erlic excused himself to go talk to the perverts... no he would have to stop thinking in such terms if he was going to get along here... when he went to talk to Marz and Tristan Argus slid down in the water, sinking slowly beneath the surface. He got a sudden silly notion and blew a few bubbles before resurfacing just as Erlic returned.

"So Argus," the other man said. "Do you have any family back home?"

Argus shook his head. "No... wha' family Ay 'ad wuz takun inna raid on our lands by one o' de barons 'oo owned it. Me Daar apparently 'adn't been payin' E-blewdy-nuff taxes ter 'is Lordship so de bastard made an example o' dem. Ay wuz away in me fairst year at de temple at de time." He paused, thinking back. "It wasn't a sound loss, dough. Me Daar wuz norra kind feller and Maar... she always backed 'im even when 'e beat 'is children senseless. So Ay wasn't devastated by de loss, yew see."

He pushed his hair out of his eyes and slowly scratched his shoulder. "Ay did fancy a bird once... 'er name wuz Giselle. She wuz a beauty all right - dark 'air down ter de small o' 'er back, eyes dat melted ice, and a smile dat could make a feller do anyth'n she wanted." He smiled remembering the woman, but then frowned. "But it wasn't meant ter be. De trollop up and married some uvver fella Ay didn't evun know she wuz see'n. Last Ay 'eard o' 'er she 'ad eight children and anuvver on de way and wasn't quite sure dee wuz all 'er 'usband's. Ay'm bedder off without de likes o' 'er, Ay'm sure."

He slid beneath the water again, suddenly feeling somewhat exposed. When he resurfaced he turned to watch the others dance, feeling somewhat scandalized by the erotic motions, yet aroused at the same time. He idly wondered if that was how Laurel danced.
