The Slayers Quest

[thepanda]

Amelia nods sagaciously, helping him dust off his sleeves, back...

... and trying to wrap a wreath of garlic around his neck.

[Carthrat]

Kylen, holding his nose, manages to hope back just away from range. "I ain't gonna hurt you, cuz. Think I'd even try with her nearby?" he complains, jerking a finger at Lina.

[thepanda]

Producing a steak (still dripping grease and smelling yummy) and a hammer from somewhere Amelia slowly stalks Kylen.

"Of course not. This is for our own good. The power of Justice compels you!"

[Carthrat]

Kylen looks at the steak. "Hey, how well is that cooked?" he asks, curiously.

[Corwin]

Lina taps her foot, glaring at the ex-bandit and mumbling "~treasure~" to herself.

[thepanda]

"Pretty well, and-Hey, don't try to change to subject! Yurr nnnt grrrawa tat eee!" The last was said with the steak in her mouth while threatening Kylen with the hammer, which turns out to be a meat tenderizer.

[Carthrat]

"Eh. Well. Nice seein' ya, Cuz. Anyone else tries to murder Phil, tell me, will you?" finishes Kylen. "Oh, yeah, know anyone who wants to lug my box to the capital, for me?" he asks, glancing at Gourry and Zel.

[thepanda]

Amelia pauses her advance.

"You're going home?"

[Carthrat]

"Yes," replies Kylen. "If there's a cure, it should be found there. If it's not..  well, who knows?"

[thepanda]

Amelia jumps to the tallest pillar and points to Saillune, striking a pose.

"Of course! If there's a cure anywhere it's in Saillune!"

She suddenly drops down to her cousin and starts throttling him.

"If you already knew this why didn't you go already!?"

[Carthrat]

Kylen dosn't really react to the throttling. "A week after I was free to roam as I pleased, I came to the capital."

He cricks his neck. "I don't think any human can appreciate just how bloody much a Ra Tilt can hurt."

[thepanda]

"Daddy will be so happy to see you," Amelia gushed, continuing her stranglehold.

[Carthrat]

"Last time Phil saw me, he yelled 'PACIFIST PUNCH!' and impaled me with a tree," replies Kylen. "I was lucky he forgot to sharpen it first," he mutters. "It's probably better he dosn't know I come back."

[thepanda]

Amelia is hunched over a notebook muttering.

"Sharpen first, then nail... to... tree. Right."

[Carthrat]

Kylen snatches the notebook and flips through it, eyes growing more aghast at each page.

"Some faith you have in me, cuz," he moans, taking out a ruby-red amulet. "Take a look at this," he says, showing it to her. "With this, I never need to kill to survive. So put away all that junk, I ain't gonna hurt you."
