A knock interrupts you.

A knock on the door startles both of you. “Expecting someone?” Dexter asks.

“I don’t exactly know anyone, remember.”

Through the door a gruff voice calls out, “Hey Dexter. Who’s your new boyfriend?” You stare at Dexter.

He shrugs, “It’s Bathos, we dated for a while, now he’s a bit obsessed with me. I’ll tell him to go away.” He opens the door. “Hey Bathos, haven’t seen you in ages, how ya been buddy, seeing anyone new?”

In walks a reddish skinned man easily 6’5” and thick as hell. Likely stronger than you were before the witch. He is bare chested, with thick canvas breaches, combat boots, gloves, and a harness of straps from which hangs a thick shotgun and a big single bladed axe. “Hey Dexter. No I dated a satyr named billy, which I thought was hilarious, but it didn’t work out. Who’s the human? Thought you didn’t like humans.”

“I never said I didn’t like humans, but this is Kora, he’s a fledgling Druid who I was tasked to bring to town. We only met today.”

“Oh, really, I just figured since he was so cute you guys were probably dating.”

“You think I’m cute?” Your face gats a bit hot. Your body suddenly feels tingly. Why do I even care?

He tips his head to the side, flashes a wry grin, “Please, like you don’t know you are hot as hell. I’d fuck you in a heartbeat.”

Dexter chimes in, “Now Bathos, don’t need to be crass. How bout you and I go have a drink. Kora needs to get some rest. He has a big quest to start on tomorrow.”

“A quest eh? That’s cool. Need a bodyguard?”

“I don’t know actually.” You answer honestly. “I’m just know I need to go north, like really far north.”

“Are you going Dexter?” Bathos asks.

“Oh hell no. It’s like some crazy undead army. No chance.”

Bathos looks a bit angry, “An army? Sounds like he needs all the help he can get. We should both go. Besides undead lords are always rich as hell. We can get tons of loot. What do you think Kora, want some help?” He pats Dexter on the shoulder, “You’ll go, right, for the treasure?”

Dexter says, “I…” and looks at you.
