Again, backdated to morning - I just held off the post for the full 24 hours |D

About a day or so I would say. I wish I could be more help but things have been hectic. I was just thinking about trying to get revenge for you.

[Since that seemed to be working wonderfully.(sarcasm)]

[rogue_crow]

I suppose it is just as well I came back when I did, yes? Vengeance, from what I have seen, would not work out well. You described the abilities of those who run this town to me, but even so, it seems I was not entirely prepared to see them in action...

My apologies, in any case. I seem to have failed rather spectacularly.

[bloodon_myknife]

Not a problem mate. Hopefully you learned what not to do by doing so.

So, how long have you been gone? I take it by your question you went back home.

[rogue_crow]

I only wish I had learned something of what to do. I had thought the element of surprise might allow something to be accomplished, and I am fairly certain he did not see me prior to firing, but it made no difference.

Several months, by my world's reckoning. Enough time to fight an entire war.

[bloodon_myknife]

[That was disappointing news.]

Even when hidden? What distance did you have on the man?

[To the last part.]

Also, though I'm glad to have you back I am sorry you didn't get to stay home. Anything about you I should know about since it's been so long?

[rogue_crow]

Not very great, to be honest - I waited on my roof until he stopped in front of the house. I had hoped, at such short distance, there would be no time to dodge, but perhaps a shot from further away would have been more effective and less expected.

[Zevran sighs; he actually had a decent life to look forward to in Thedas, so being removed from it is actually being a bit harder on him this time around. But it hasn't really had time to sink in yet.] So am I. [Then, as quickly as flipping a switch, he's back to wry amusement.] Well, I am no longer a proper assassin. I have sworn fealty to a woman I was sent to kill, fought in a war, and helped slay a mad dragon god.

A shame Mayfield brought me back when it did; I probably could have conquered the Golden City and become a minor deity with a little more time on my hands.

[Sniper takes the time to let that all sink in.

Then the bit about dragons and gods...]

Well mate, we'll see about getting you home for good next time. It'll be easier with you here.

[rogue_crow]

Hopefully I can be more helpful to you next time.

[bloodon_myknife]

We'll see what we can do. You'll be a great help once we finally learn how to kill these guys. You have the skills to adapt, or at least you used to.

[rogue_crow]

[laughs] Simply because I cannot truly call myself an assassin anymore certainly does not mean I don't still retain the skills of one.

[bloodon_myknife]

Good to know mate.

Welcome back, I'll be sure to see that you get home for good.
