>>6341140>Our Hero realizes his initial approach may have been a bit too brash, even if he was "kind yet firm" it clearly sent Xiphos into a panicked mess, he softens his voice (which isn't hard, as his voice is already very soft) and holds his hand out, giving Xiphos a kind and reassuring look>he tells Xiphos that he apologizes as he was expecting to fight, he calmly explains that there are some more questions he wants to ask her and he's willing to help her out>Xiphos gulps, still shaking she hesitantly takes Our hero's hand and helps herself up>Our Hero gives Xiphos a bit of time to breathe and asks her a couple of questions and gives a couple clarifications>"we're only here to kill the manticore, we need the money">"we would like your help, if you can">"did you find any evidence of the experiments?">"we are willing to escort you back to Boltgaurd, and we would like you to summon a pack mule for us">"are you willing to swear to your gods to not abandon us?">and finally, Our Hero offers his blade, stating that if she wants, he can give her protection in these lands so long as she joins him on his adventures>Xiphos looks a bit taken a back, she's calmed down but shes still takes a bit to answer[1/3]
