Me | And? How's it going? | |
Lucia | Listen. If you want something to eat, go to Snaf. If you want something to drink, you're in the right place. | |
Me | What do you drink here then? | |
Lucia | We only have a little beer. The only beer on the island was brought by the paladins. | |
Lucia | Just about the only good thing those fellows brought with them... | |
Lucia | Otherwise we drink booze. I've got moonshine, grog and white rum - | |
Lucia | (appreciatively) hmmm... you should try THAT - I got the recipe from Samuel. The old boy really knows his trade. | |
Me | Aren't you from Khorinis? | |
Lucia | Don't remind me! My life in that city was horrible. | |
Lucia | While the ships with the new convicts kept coming in, there was still life in town. | |
Lucia | But all those other guys... (laughs) No thanks. Maybe it's because we're on an island... well, those days are over. | |
Lucia | I'm finished with Elvrich! | |
Me | Why? | |
Lucia | He's a wimp! When the bandits dragged me off, he didn't lift a finger to help me. | |
Me | What are you planning to do? | |
Lucia | We'll see. For now, I'll stay here with Snaf, Fisk and the others. | |
Lucia | Have you already talked to Thorus? (rolls her eyes) Oh, Innos, is that a hunk of a man! | |
Lucia | (laughs) Excuse me... let's get back to your question... I haven't set a goal, I'm only drifting. | |
Me | You're not very fond of the paladins, are you? | |
Lucia | Those fanatical murderers in the pay of the Fire Magicians? No. | |
Lucia | That Lord Hagen occupies the city with his thugs, and everybody bows down to him. | |
Lucia | And I didn't want to do that. I wasn't going to wait until they closed down the Red Lantern and locked me up. | |
Me | The paladins don't only fight in his name. Innos chooses his warriors. | |
Lucia | So? I believe it's the people who choose themselves. | |
Lucia | Still, your words amaze me. You talk almost like you were one of them. | |
Me | Have you ever killed someone? | |
Lucia | No, and I'm very glad of it. | |
Lucia | Please, let's not be so serious any more. | |
Lucia | Instead, let's drink and enjoy every moment the gods give us. | |
Me | Do you deny Innos then, wench? | |
Lucia | How could I? It's just people who misuse his name. | |
Lucia | But I never doubted Innos' divine splendor for a second. | |
Me | The paladins are the warriors of Innos. They aren't murderers. | |
Lucia | So? Blood sticks to their swords too - just like the weapons of the pirates or the bandits. | |
Lucia | The only difference is they do it in Innos' name and not because they want to survive. | |
Lucia | Nothing at all. | |
Me | Give me something to drink. | |
Me | Can you teach me something? | |
Lucia | (laughs) Only too gladly. You can train your DEXTERITY with me. | |
Me | I want to become more dexterous. | |
