Eaton meets Darien

[Flex]

Darien sits in the small solar of the castellan, Yozs standing behind him.

[lukien]

Eaton Stone enters the small solar and glances around. Marking the two other men occupying the room he studies them the continues to observe the room. Pushing his cloak back he places a small bow towards Darien, "Greetings Milord. The name is Eaton Stone and I understand you have been having a bit of a problem here. I'd like to offer my skills such as they are to help remedy it."

[Flex]

Darien looks the man over before replying "What skills might you have that we would find useful?"

[lukien]

"Well lets just say I'm full of suprises. I can find things where folks don't want them found. And people I dislike have a bad habit of...turning up missing." Eaton smiles, "What a strange saying that. They don't ever turn up if you catch my meaning milord."

[Flex]

"You are good at killing people." Darien opened a bottle of wine and poured some into a glass, offering it to Eaton. "So, if I am right, you are asking if Duskendale needs an assassin?"

[lukien]

Eaton grins, "Its nice to meet someone who doesn't waste any time. Bascially milord thats exactly what I'm asking. I'm not only good at killing but they have made only four places in the world that I can't get in and out of. Been working in the Free Cities these past five years, built me quite a nice reputation out that ways. But the way I see it people always need a dagger in the dark, so why not me milord."

[Flex]

"I too have spent some time in the free cities, mostly Qohor and Pentos. Pray, by what name would they know you as there?"

[lukien]

Eaton grins, "Why Eaton Stone milord. I am no man to hide behind false names or puff up my importance. My reputation speaks for me more then any name. I am an assassin bearing a few, shall we say scruples. I kill no children, and take no job that requires the death of a truly good person. I ask a high price but my jobs get done and I've never turned cloak."

[Flex]

Darien nodded. "Seems like we might have a job for you soon. The lady Royce has left me in charge of the castle and you have so far made a good impression, however: Pray tell me what you mean by a 'truly good person'?"

[lukien]

Eaton looks slightly abashed, "A person whos done no true wrong. A merchant haggling or charging a high price is still a good person, now that person selling slaves thats a bad person. Someone doing only what they need to take care of them and their family, thats a good person." Eaton looks at Darien, "Me, I would take a job to kill me, and from the looks of you, you as well."

[Flex]

"Is it not dangerous for an assassin to have morals? After all, our own morals is often what gets us into sticky situations." Darien stares Eaton intently in the eyes.

[lukien]

Eaton nods, "Aye Milord its dangerous for us to have morals, but not much more then say your hedge knights," at the word knights his eyes flash and his teeth clench, "And I would venture to say I have higher morals and stand by them better then your Sers and Lords. Its all in the way you look at it milord. I see my job as a way to rid the world of pests, vultures and other unsavory characters, and make it a better place. Eventually there will be no need for me, until then milord always seems most of the people needs killing fit the bill just fine."

[Flex]

Darien smiled a thin smile. "Ah, a tool with a mind of it's own. Dangerous to whoever might use it. Eaten Stone, I will have a room set up for you in the Dun Fort. You are welcome to explore the castle as much as you want, but for the time of your stay you will be under my command. Now, is there anything else I can do for you?"

[lukien]

Eaton's eyes sparkle, "No milord that is enough, I certainly look forward to being in your employ."

[Flex]

"In that case you will be lead to your room. Do not fear to call on me whenever you wish." Darien smiled and indicated to the guard at the door.
