[Torn between grossed out and indignant he's going to fucking die here.]

So just tell them the offer is conditional on it being painless!

[fighting_alena]

That's too much! They'll never go for it then. They're out for blood.

...maybe I could say I'll sacrifice half of my blood.

[crusthatecean]

[Shudders]

Can you even survive that?

[fighting_alena]

I don't know...

Okay, a quarter of my blood. Sound good?

[crusthatecean]

If that's what you want.

Do you have any kind of weapons on you?

[fighting_alena]

My iron claw.

[crusthatecean]

I don't know what an iron claw is, but I think I'll pass. I have a knife.

[fighting_alena]

It's this thing on my hand.

[crusthatecean]

Okay, well, excuse me if I don't want to die from a claw!

Have we worked our shit out? Because I'd like to just get this over with.

[fighting_alena]

Yes! I think we have.

All right, your life, a quarter of my blood, and... your pride.

[crusthatecean]

I'll offer not hiding my last memory from everyone who has a right to see it. That should do for pride.

[fighting_alena]

Hopefully.

[crusthatecean]

We'll see.

[is now wondering how the others are doing]

[crusthatecean]

[Is a little too focused on his own potentially impending death and quietly trying not to freak out. So sitting, looking at the floor and breathing a little heavily.]

[let's see if we can distract each other]

You're... one of Sterling's knights, right?

[crusthatecean]

That's me.

[Doesn't really want to talk, but does want to be distracted. Conflict.]

[fighting_alena]

You close to any of the other Knights?

[crusthatecean]

Not really. Some of them are all right, though.
