<REDTHRONE> Hey, this is Flame Princess!
<REDTHRONE> Leave a message or however it is these things work.
<REDTHRONE> I'll try not to leave too much unanswered junk in here...
<stocke>
i can't say the sentiment doesn't sound nice [- all thoughts of revenge aside. Stocke's itching to take out a grudge, but on the Bloody Bones as a whole, not Frank in particular.]
but i'm not optimistic
the bloody bones have good reason to hunt us
and they've shown they don't care about collateral damage
moral questions aren't likely to be their priority
[...]
she's also claimed frank saved her life once
[Which is a bit more puzzling.]
<redthrone>
i believe people can change because ive done it myself, but that gang doesnt look like theyre planning on listening to the other side of things anytime soon
what they did back in january proved that beyond a doubt, that endangered just as many humans as monsters
...
wait, really?
did she mention circumstances or did she just drop that with no explanation and expect everyone to believe it
<stocke>
but also that he didn't attack her when he found out she wasn't
[Which is the bit he's surprised by.]
<redthrone>
i mean there were people in vandare being huge jerks to the newbies last month and they hadnt changed at all, theyd barely been here a few hours
i mean, maybe it is worth looking into this guy if we cant find an explanation for why hed do that
<stocke>
but if someone's been here longer than a few days they can blend in with the natives
doesn't change that i'd expect him to react after he knew
[...]
easiest explanation that comes to mind is he wanted an in with the monsters
easier to trick one than all of us and he did get shelter out of it
[At the same time...]
but he does seem on the outs with the rest of them
[So conclusions are all kinda up in the air.]
<redthrone>
the fact that he didnt react to finding out what she was does make it sound like he was trying to get in with us but obviously it hasnt really gone anywhere
even if he hadnt been mentioned in the book hed be worth looking into, what a weird dude
at least by the standards of the humans here
<stocke>
[Well, whichever it is:]
i'll be keeping an eye out
and i'll try to speak to the one who sheltered him
[And as for what Flame Princess does with the information he gave her, that's up to her.]
