Are
Are echoed the stifled laugh at his bare-bones explanation of his misadventures, a little dry wit was nothing he couldn't take. Even better than that, it did far more good to him than any pity ever could had hoped to do. Pity he had enough of himself, pity and self-loathing as stubbornness and brashness ran low.
Contradiction, there seemed to be a story hidden underneath layers of what Are assumed was humbleness, but what a small part of him saw as perhaps something more insidious. Assuming the best came naturally, but always a niggling doubt there was something worse behind it, such was the nature of a worrying cobbler. Now a worrying warrior, a warrior defeated by a bunch of rocks...
"That's a story to me, for what it's worth." he mumbled and shone a weak smile, a stiff one in hopes a little sunshine would keep the doubts away. Another weak laugh, elicited by a similarly weak compliment. "No, I assure you, I'm even worse when I have my health. Actually though, what where you expecting?"
