Exton

I'm not sure that I like Nick, but I have to agree that he has a point. Somehow I know that I'm going to pay for this later, but it has to be said.

"I hate to admit it, sis, but Nick is right. Look, I've been a warrior all my life, and a mercenary much of that time. A merc doesn't care about choosing the 'right' side, we work for whoever has the money. A really professional mercenary won't change sides if someone offers him more money, but we still fight - and kill - for a living.

I've seen things, done things I'm not proud of. I've done evil things and I've seen evil things done and done nothing to prevent it. This Gareth may not be a good guy, but he's no worse than I am, or Nick, and he's done what he's done to protect someone else. I know that doesn't make him an innocent, but none of us are innocents. It's a dark world we live in, and we have to live in it the best we can. Sometimes we lose our way…."

Then I shut up, thinking maybe I've said too much already.
