((A-whoops.))
Hector had already thrown suspicions into the open. And the Wombear was already making the usual denials. "I swear I don't know anything," trying not to look guilty. But Halvard's expression changed. The 'bear was willing to play along and answer questions, it looked like. Hector's heart immediately softened, and he looked sympathetic to the two. "Hey, fella, you were just acting defensive and a little funny. You told her not to say anything, so I worried about her, you know? Like you were forcing her to clam up--"
"Hector, please." Halvard gritted his teeth. If the man was a victim as well, if something was wrong, or if Halvard was just being paranoid... he did want to do something. It was inhuman and in-Lucain to just leave someone to suffer, if something was wrong. But he did want to approach this with some safety. "I would like to choose the place we talk. Just to be sure that you won't try anything. But I can promise you, I mean you no harm unless you give me reason to."
A small satchel hung over Halvard's shoulder. He undid the top flap and pulled out a battered, crumbling old book, with water-damaged edges and fraying corners. The gilt lettering was rubbed away in places, but the title was still visible: "THE OLD FURY GUARD HANDBOOK."
"This is the handbook of the group of guards I belonged to. You may not have heard of them, but I can promise you--we were mighty, and true, and we always stand up for what is right. I may not be one of them any more, but I keep this book with me at all times because I still adhere to this code. I warn you now, if you do try to hurt this girl, I will not be gentle. But if you are troubled, then I will do everything in my power to help you. Do you understand?"
I'm so cool (too bad I'm a loser).
I'm so smart (too bad I can't get anything figured out)!
I'm so brave (too bad I'm a baby).
I'm so fly
That's probably why it feels just like I'm falling for the first time!
I'm so green (it's really amazing).
I'm so clean (too bad I can't get all the dirt off of me)!
I'm so sane (It's driving me crazy)!
It's so strange
I can't believe I'm falling for the first time!
