"Not a real disease huh? Gee, I had no f**king idea." Harmond says with his usual sarcasm. He then continues to speak but without the sarcasm, "So, you wanna know how I got here. That's... Kind of a long story. However, the fact that you get clumsy when you think too much does not bode well for you. Don't know about the arena but on the battlefield, thinking about all sorts of stuff figuratively and literally flying toward you is kinda important. You'll have to pay attention to each of your opponent's actions. You won't get very far very fast if you get clumsy and fall down every time you have to worry about everyone trying kill you."
Liam chuckled at the man's words. Though one may expect nervous or embarrassed chuckling, this was more on the side of an individual being relieved. When he finished, he stopped for a moment and thought to himself. He was sure that it would happen, and in truth, he hoped that it would be the only thing that happens to him. He would rather die by some rabid squirrel rather than...
"I guess I'll have to hope for the best, then."
Liam saw that it was nearly time.
"It seems I must go and prepare. Thanks for the talk."
Liam walked off...
((Sorry for the late reply. Had an exam to take.))

Shmitty sees Baryk carrying a bunch of things back inside his hideout. He lets himself in. Shmitty sees Baryk is working on something. He says, "Been having some good fights?"
but his hands say by way of thieves cant, "You wanted to talk? I've been waiting for you. Please don't waste my time"
Gewonnt paces around the room, making no attempt to dull the clicking sound of his talons on the floor, as he does in the Coliseum. "Well, you see, it's about Baryk, or at least most of it is. I'm sure you remember when Baryk was the bartender here, and then one day, he just wasn't. Didn't that seem a little strange? Ever since, he's been secretive and acting weirdly. Like he has something to hide. I don't like it when people hide from me. On an unrelated note, I have heard unconfirmed reports that a temple of Oghma has recently been violated. As a disciple of Deneir, I am obligated to help the other Deities of Knowledge and Invention. Perhaps you could do some investigating on both of these fronts. I will be glad to help you if you require my aid, although of course it may be deducted from your pay. So, what do you think your rates will be?"
