"Yeah, that's true. Of course, I don't think any of us can swim so if we get attacked at sea..."
"Fair enough... Wait, did they say landing?"
"Ah. Would you do it again, like personally?"
"So... Senija, you ever do mercenary work?"
"Troubled? I suppose not exactly. I expect to burn in hell when I die for my treachery but I figure God may have the time to forgive me if I spend my life making up for it, if he isn’t busy forgiving nobles and priests and the like."
"I apologize for any worry I caused, I had assumed that her history was common knowledge. I am Judas, previously a commoner here in this city. It is true I served the tyrant, as a spy. It t'was the best course of action to my thinking. But as I spent more and more time serving under the queen my reports got less and less.... accurate. When the time came to be more active in my service... I presented my blade to the queen and bade her to do with a traitor like me as she wished. And as for your last question... I do believe we have met, I brought you a drink while you were talking to some commander or other."
"Judas. Pleased to meet you."
"If you're going to leave it's typically polite to say goodbye."
"I'm doing it again aren't I?"
"You shouldn't lie since then the only knowledge I have of you is based off rumors. Specifically the ones that say you're a witch that consorts with demons in the dead of night."
"So, what is your expertise that you're offering our order? You don't look the brutish smashy oath making type. Perhaps you're one of those Enchanters that dance naked in the moon light and can read?"
"Well, allow me to introduce myself. I am Judas. I used to live in the town before the usurper took over and I'm pleased to say that I'm quite skilled in my new line of work, even if I've never properly fulfilled my goals."
"Got here recently I take it?"
"I am not a man of noble blood, nor am I one who has studied the arcane arts. However, if I can I wish to offer the skills I do have in service of the country. Judas pulls his hood back on. "If nessesary I shall give my life doing so my Queen."
