I know that feeling well. And yes, I believe the threat was to tear down everything Hans had built here.

Hans and I have been through a lot together in our eight months here, and I knew his history with Vengarl already. I gave him little choice in telling me. I imagine he does not want to worry you, or endanger you; his intention is, I believe, to avoid Vengarl entirely - I am only concerned that Vengarl will escalate matters, since he has contacted you directly.

>Tell me, do you know this Vengarl's monster?
>And I suppose I should also ask if you intend to do anything about this yourself.
>Or if you'd rather respect his wishes to avoid him.

He is a troll, I believe, though I admit I am not certain.

As for what I intend to do... It is hard to say. It does not seem right that he can do these things without retribution, but I find myself conflicted. He should face consequences but I also do not wish to make things worse.

>So you're undecided.
>I'm not one to jump to violence, however, I do wish to give this more thought and consider it.
>There are ways to put an end to all things, after all. Even in this place where permanence varies.

I am not generally a violent man. I was raised with peace and forgiveness, but my world has changed since.

Vengeance can be a never ending cycle. I would like this to end, but I do not believe vicious men like him are capable of seeing sense. With death impermanent here at best...

>The answer for such stubbornness is not usually death.
>But I do not venture into areas beyond that, so we are similar in that vein.
>Then we may wish to focus instead on Hans.
>To be a comfort and a shield.

>He always does seem in need of company and reassurance.

I think you are right. Perhaps we should wait and see if the brute does finally stay away from him. Hans is certainly more important.

One can hardly hold that against him. From what he has told me of his life before this place, company and reassurance were rarely to be found for him.

< Coin Prince >

[twocomplex]

>Oh, I do not hold it against him.
>I understand him completely.

>It's why I indulge him so.
>Let's wait, as you say, and keep them both in our sights. I work for Hans as well, so I do believe I could notice any underlying threats at the Triple T.

He said as much, that you have quite a bit in common. I am glad then that he has a friend like you who can understand his life before here.

Good. I will keep my eyes open as well, and if anything happens, do call me. He is my closest friend on the peninsula, despite everything.
