“You are…a kind of priest?” Laurel asked Argus. He nodded slowly. The woman was very beautiful -- breathtakingly so -- but dumb as rocks. Hadn't he just said he was an Acolyte? Of course he was a kind of priest! But he answered her civilly. After all, it wasn't her fault she couldn't grasp simple concepts like that.

"Yis indeed. Ay am an Acolyte o' de Sun. Norra full Priest yet, mind yew, but ay fully intend ter be one dee." He gave her a smile that was remarkably handsome without his shaggy beard hiding his mouth.

"A priest with magic?" she prattled on. He decided he didn't mind and could listen to her yammer for days on end if need be. "What sort of magic do you do?" She asked.

Argus answered as patiently as he could. He did not shout, "The same kind as any priest, woman! What do you think!" No. Instead, he gazed at her beautiful face and smiled, answering: "Same as all Acolytes and Priests... some body magic -- 'eal'n and de like. Blessings o' strength, speed, and endance. De type dat makes a body stronger in battle, fasti, 'arder ter bairst. And ay tinnie call upon de 'ammer o' de sun..." He paused. His hammer was not really all it could be, unfortunately. "All right, not as bright as a more senier Priest," he confessed sheepishly. "But it's come in 'andy ed occasion."

He looked thoughtful. "Funny th'n, dough... me blessings never worked in dat uvver wirld. Ay 'ope ay 'aven't bushed me touch!"

He realized that Erlic was speaking to him and turned his attention to the man, though the sight of the group's apparent leader was rather dull compared to looking at Laurel. He inched closer to her as he listened to Erlic.

“I thank you, Argus,” Erlic said. “Once this has all been finalized, and the threat of killing is over with, I’ll see what I can do to return you to your own world. I can’t promise when, or how, but I will try.”

Argus held out his hand to shake it. "That's fair E-blewdy-nuff and mighty good o' yew. Ay do appreciate it." He turned back to Laurel and gave her a grin.

*~*~*~*~*


Barry had to chuckle when Corum rattled on. “We’re gonna kick some invariable ass, and when we’re through they’ll wished they had never heard of Corum, Yorik, and Barry. We’ll make minced meat of them, and we’ll make sure they pay through the nose. You and me Barry. We gotta stick together, and watch each other’s back. With my bashing, and your bruising, we’re gonna pile em high until there’s no more room to place those guys. It’ll definitely be a serious case of Clobberin Time. Big time, all around. Real big time.”

"That it is, Chief. And I have a feeling we're gonna be comin out on top. Right on the top... helloooooooooo nurse..." His eyes fell on a beautiful little centaur filly who had brought another bowl of cactus fruit over to the fire. She was very petite (probably a runt) but had the most shapely breasts he had ever seen.

He floated down next to her and grinned. "Hey sweets... care to stroke my head?" The girl screamed and swatted at him with her tail as she ran off. "I'd have stroked yours next!" He called after her. "I'm all about equal time baby!"

He moved back over next to Corum, glancing at Yorik. "Hey Chief... Yorik any good at predictin' the future? Cause it'd sure be handy to know when those soddin' assassins and thugs were gonna hit next. Not to mention when I'm gonna get a good rubdown next."
