Pursuit of the Sun 1.2

Looking at those present:
- I'm not sure what you want to achieve, sir... Fulrad? But if you think this is the only right thing to do, then... - a hand rests on the hand of the virgin, his gaze pierces his eyes. - I have nothing to hide. Nothing I said is untrue. The Void is a witness to this, although such matters are not of interest to it. Just remember one thing - your personal perception does not always correspond to reality, - the gaze softens, the fingers tighten slightly around the palm. - And therefore... Well, that remains on your conscience.

Fulrad takes her hand, his face becoming even more stern at the touch. He takes a dagger and makes a small cut on her palm, and, after waiting a couple of seconds, he grimly announces:
-- That's what needed to be proven. This is not a human!
Whatever the clergyman wants to say or do next, Geoffroy stops him.
-- Incredible... Calm down, Sir Fulrad. After all, we are not all frightened peasants here, so there is no need to panic.
-- Indeed. Let's first listen to what this creature has to say. This is really something I didn't expect in my old age, and I intend to find out the whole story first. So, again: who or what are you and what is your goal?

Hargen nods again.
-I was just about to go to the tavern later. But... anytime, I'm ready.

-- We can start right now - you want to fight the day after tomorrow, right? Then we'll go have a beer.
