“Oh. You and I seem to have gotten off on the wrong foot, so how about I make it up to you with some food?” he said, digging something leathery, dry and emitting a fishy smell out of his pack.
“We have our own food.” Athilis refused.
“Oh. It’s dried fish. Ever since I developed a taste for the stuff I can’t get enough of it.” Dior started chewing on the unappetizing looking fish.
“Time to trade backthtories, right? I wavv in a village thaa was going to war wiff anummer one,” he swallowed, “and it was broken up by a noblewoman. I decided to serve her, so now I’m making a map of the continent for her.” he said.
“What was the noblewoman’s name?” Athilis asked, in case she could verify his story later.
“Shelby. Lives in the big city, I might be able to convince her to help you.” Dior said immediately.
