The Widow's Rest
Deverick scowled at the Gnome.Hehad shed blood with Ovo and Blossom,and he knew their measure for the most part.But this Gnome, while his aunt vouched for Tess, she had yet to prove herself to Deverick.
" Tess, we got off ta a bad start, It had been a bloody bad night,and then ye,a stranger, comes looking fer me. I was in nay mood to trust or be nice at that time. But since me Auntie thinks ye can be trusted, I will trust ye. So, I be offering me regrets fer acting like an arse towards ye. Nay hard feelings."
Deverick trusted his aunt,so he would trust Tess,at least until she proved unworthy of it.
" But ye av ta understand one thing, if ye wants ta work with us,our business be our business. Wa we do, be not fer the ears o others. Me auntie be not counted in that,ye can tell er, but nay other. If ye can live with that, be welcome, if not, be well to ye."
And again, Deverick was talking way more then he was used to doing. He suddenly wondered how he had been thrust into the role of de facto leader of this small merry band. Had there been an election,or something? He did not recall being asked to be the leader, it just seemed he was suddenly one. A nagging thought was that some practitioner of the arts arcane, with a sick sense of humor, might have cast some spell to make Dev look like he knew what he was doing.
