| Speaking to Old Man's Old Friend for the first time | What can I do for you then, Khelim? Oh, my friend sent you to find me? Hah! Old mercenary buddies, we were. Did he ever tell you why we lost contact? He stole my wife, he did! All three of us grew up together, and he always had his eyes on her. But she chose me, and she stayed mine even after we paraded around as mercenaries. But that sly bugger, he bribed our captain so that I would be sent away for longer missions, and he'd be stationed near home, and he'd visit her every night. To "keep her safe" he said. Before too long, they ran off together, and I came back to find my home cold and empty. It wasn't until years later that I learned the full truth. He came back begging for forgiveness, apparently she had left him for another man. It felt like justice to me. He stole her from me, so someone else stole her from him. I told him he deserved what happened, and we fought. First with words, then with swords. I defeated him, but spared his pitiful life, and I left. I told him I never wanted to see him again. But I guess he never felt like he had closure on the whole thing, and we used to be very good friends before the whole debacle. Hmm, tell you what, I will visit him. Maybe I do forgive him after all this time. I can at least give him the courtesy of a final farewell before we both die. Tell him I will visit him soon. I'll hitch a ride from the next trading caravan heading that way. |
| Speaking to Old Man's Old Friend for a second time | Back again, Khelim? I suppose I should thank you for giving me the chance to see my old friend again. Still haven't decided if I should forgive him or not. I probably should, it's been so long and my time grows short. As does his. I don't want either of us to pass away with unfinished business. |
