<span class="mu-g"><span class="mu-i">“Hai appena ucciso il mio insegnante.”</span> You give the Captain a sharp look at the responding youthful voice from inside the carriage. <span class="mu-i">“Perché dovrei fidarmi di te?”</span>
<span class="mu-i"> “Insegnante? O maestro?”</span> The Captain offers you a wry grin in turn while he continues to speak in soft tones. <span class="mu-i">“Ma avresti ragione a non fidarti di me. Fidati di tua madre, è a lei che devo il favore.”</span>
After a moment silence the carriage door opens, revealing a youthful face in well-to-do Langlish finery. You’re not sure what kind of passenger you had expected, but a boy that has yet to see his tenth winter was not it.
<span class="mu-i">“A child?”</span> You ask, feeling the adrenaline now wearing off. Your tone is far from incredulous, not much is going to surprise you tonight after the encounter with a mage. Tired is more like it. <span class="mu-i">“Pit take it, what have you roped me into?”</span>
<span class="mu-i">“I can explain…”</span> The easy smile of the Captain appears thin to your eyes, fragile even.
=====================================
> “A gripping tale, I’m sure. But now is not the time.” Even if further Inferni aren’t coming, word will surely have reached the local constabulary by now. This is not the time for questions and, to be perfectly frank, you don’t particularly care. You trust the Captain has worthy reasons. [Haughty]
>“Fine. But I demand an explanation later.” Perhaps the Captain truly did not know of the sorcerer, but he has been too deceptive in enlisting your aid by far. You mislike being used, the man is pushing the limits of your good faith. [Hearty]
>“By the Almighty you had better, sir. We’re not going anywhere until you do.” You pull Captain Verdicci aside, out of earshot of the others. This skullduggery has gone far enough, if his explanation does not satisfy you will put an end to this folly yourself. [Idealist]</span>
