*Horus's face darkens*

She nearly ripped Amelia's wings off. She hurt her greatly and that shook our trust in her...

Well, I wouldn't say that everybody is as fond of demons as you and your friends are. Perhaps she just snapped. Has she done anything bad after then? I think not. Everybody deserves a second chance without having the threat of losing honour, and I believe she is worthy of that.

*Finishes mead*

Another round?

Well, We're just watching her closer than we used to. Sure, but this time I'm buying. I won a ton of money off a bet with Ra so I'm good for now

She has been through a lot. And if she didn't do it, someone else would've.

*Smiles*

I'm not complaining about you buying.

*Horus orders a few stronger drinks*

Horus: Y'know, we could upgrade that sword of yours. Basic steel is kinda been outmatched these days

Ah, but that is where you are wrong, I smelted down the two-handed sword the Vikings gave me, and crafted this. The called it 'Adeptus class metal'. Looks just the same, but is a lot harder and sharper than one might think. I believe I did give my older sword to the elf woman...Not that I have seen her in a while...Or not that she talks to me anymore, for some reason...

Horus: Well that's better, but if you've got spare coin and don't mind giving OT business then he could sell you something a few grades above that

Perhaps. I might have to do a few odd-jobs though, money is gettin somewhat low after all the mead I've been drinking...If I could go back to my time and bring back my chest...Now that would be a different story...

Yeah, time travel is the one thing OT can't do. We met a guy who could once, but he didn't think it was a good idea to share the tech with us. I think he called it a Tardis or something... I dunno. If you're looking for work well... OT's always got odd jobs that need doing.

Perhaps if I swallow my pride, although I doubt that will happen any time soon.

*Finishes drink*

Strong stuff that is, my turn.

*Orders two more drinks*

Well, Larry might hire you. But that's a lot deadlier for you thank what OT will have

*Chugs another Ale*

*Shakes head*

I am not a hired killer. I do mercenary jobs every once in a while, but none of them have ever resulted in fatal bloodshed. I have killed before yes, but that was not for coin.

*Takes a swig of ale*

Now that I think about it...Since my time here, the only person I've ever been inclined to kill was your boss. Other than that, nothing has died by my hands.

*Leo is propped up on a tree next to the bar sharpening her sword*

Leo: Where the feth is Larry.....

*Starts sharpening sword faster*

*Horus shrugs*
Well then I'm not sure what you can do for coin. Sorry.
As for killing Nick, you'd have to go through every single one of us and then have to find a way to hurt him.

I can't really see myself doing that, so I might just have to drop the grudge.

*Thinks*

Maybe I'll make a good lumberjack...I can cut down the trees next to the overgrown castle Maria and I were at yesterday, repair it, and use sell whatever lumber remains. Maria was saying something about making a house or a cottage, so it might be a fun idea...

Huh, mind if I were to help with that? I feel like I've been getting soft lately...

I'm not sure how one on a wheelchair might be able to cut down a tree, but you're welcome to try. Who knows, maybe this will be as fun as Maria made it out to be.

Horus: Wheelchair? Huh, I guess I've lazed around enough *rips off his casts and stands up and stretches*

Horus: How about now?

*Looks up*

Huh. You're a lot shorter than I imagined.

*Grins*

I jest, and sure. I'll have to ask Maria though. She might just want this to be a project between us.

*Horus is 9 feet tall*

Horus: How short did you think I was?! And that's fine I understand that well enough

Well, I thought you would be through the roof, although...

*Knight stands up*

You're just a little taller than me...

*6'9 feet tall*

*Stands up and stomps into bar and orders a chocolate milk*

*Tapping impatiently on the bar while waiting to be served*

*Looks over at Knight and Horus*

Leo: YOU TWO.... you two seen Larry.

Horus: Not lately *Turns to the knight* Almost as tall? I'm over 2 feet taller than you!

Well, I mean, for a god...It's still short...

*Grins*

I saw a viking giant as tall as three men one time...Took me a while to kill him too, but I eventually severed his head from his shoulders.

*Leo grumbles about height*

*Stands up and is 6ft in armor*

*Leo's eye twitches and she sits back down and starts drinking Choc milk*

God? Is that what you think we are? No no no, we were worshipped like gods by ancient humani. But our powers aren't as powerful as those in mythology. We are Elders.

Agh, potato, potahto. In comparison to us mortals, you are gods.

*Sits back down*

Come, sit down, you're scaring the locals.

*Horus looks around wildly*

There are people here? When did they arrive?

A while. They've been listening in to our conversations too.

*Smiles*

Being a Knight is not only hack and slash, we learn other, less upfront methods of both diplomacy, and combat.

Horus: OI! NEXT ROUNDS ON ME!

*Cheers from the patrons*
