“I wouldn’t know,” Eric admitted, somewhat contemplative himself, “what all dragons are like. Or how they get their hoards. I only know what I’ve heard from the stories.” Stories of knights and valor, of evil dragons who he should absolutely not grow up like. Of good little dragons who strive to be better, who help the knights in the tales to vanquish the evil dragons.
It might take a while to unpack the fifty years of bullshit from whatever truth was buried underneath.
Sounds like some of the stuff he’d heard, the thief also knew about, so maybe those parts were true? Eric tilted his head, trying to parse actual sense from everything that the thief was saying. “Sssssoo… There aren’t any… good lords? Around here? Who watch over their people and protect them?” He snorted. “Why hasn’t anyone done anything about that yet?” Oh, maybe that was why. He’d almost forgotten about Aeris. From the rumors, that dragon in particular seemed to be fond of eating people.
“Ah, I’m suppose to avoid Aeris. Ma ‘n Pa said I’d probably die if I went there. I wonder if there are any evil rich merchants. I don’t really need coins, just gold. Do you know where some human kings live? And how to get there? As long as I give some gold to the poor it should be fine to take some from them. What do they even need all that gold for, anyway?” Clearly nothing if they just kept it around in big rooms all the time and only went in to look at it. Gold drives men mad, that’s something Eric was mostly certain was true. He wasn’t too keen to test the theory, but it seemed like he might get some experience with it sooner rather than later.
“It’s better than having to call someone ‘the angry pink thief’ all the time,” Eric said flatly, staring at said angry pink thief as if that would get him to give him his name in return.
