❛ you have no power over me. ❜ // @starlyht { sol'rys }

Nere laughs, loud and sudden and sharp. It is neither a kind nor a happy sound, a fact that likely becomes as apparent with the disdainful expression as he regards the other male drow.

"You say that as though I should wish to make such a claim," Nere answers, shaking his head.

"What need have I for a sellsword when I am no doubt just as adept—if not more so—in battle? You far overestimate your importance."

"Twice over would you have been gutted in Menzoberranzan for such assumptions. The first: that you assume a lack of interest in these petty conflicts and squabbles indicates a lack of spine. The second: that you assume you might speak to me in such a manner unanswered."

The drow corners a look of warning at the other, though he makes no move yet to rise from his place at the campfire.

"I have deigned to bestow upon you this first and only warning; know that I will not give another."
