Somewhat more like a bounty hunter, I suppose, but if they told me to jump, I jumped.” He believed whatever they told him.

But, he sips from the glass and shakes his head a little and flashes her that same shape smile. “Danta fulfills that role for me now, truthfully.” He is affectionately the Dusklight Attack Dog.
