Alic and Malic share a look of disbelief while they stare at you.
Malic: "Your desire to purge our lands of evil is commendable Kryslogious, but in all fairness we hardly know you. We have a duty to our clan, and our alliance with Barossa. We are not adventurers, we are not free to share information with whomever we please or pursue whatever leads we please. We have orders, and we have superiors to answer too if we stray from those orders..."
Alic: Groans and interrupts. "I hate it when you talk like this father... this goes right along with that speech about deferred judgement doesn't it?"
Malic: Glares. "Don't interrupt! What do you think will happen if we stray from our mission?"
Alic: "We might accomplish worthy deeds and enjoy a bit of adventure."
Malic: "The kings wrath on our superiors will be severe if he believes their faith in us was misplaced."
Alic: "Why should we worry about them? Stands to reason if they cared as much as we did about this cause, they'd be out here instead of us!"
Malic leans over with surprising speed and backhands his son. Alic topples unto his back, spitting blood from his mouth.
Malic: "Never disrespect your elders like that!" He scolds.
Alic: Throws up his hands with exasperation. "I hoped your attitude would change once we got away from the mountain for a while but it hasn't. Your still talking like..." He pauses and bites his tongue.
Malic: "Like what?!"
Alic: "Like pleasing our superiors is our top priority."
Malic: "It's taken me many years to get back in their favor Alic. You think it was easy getting this assignment? I had to use every bit of persuasiveness I had!"
Alic: "I know how much this assignment means to you, but I also know what they say about you behind your back..."
Malic: Sighs "I won't be around forever son. Let them decry me while they can, if they must... but Moradin help me, they'll never have cause to speak ill of you!"
Alic: Retorts. "You are a hero father! They should be taking orders from you, not the other way around! How can you tolerate it?"
Malic: "Duty to the clan matters more than pride. We must all serve and respect the hierarchy. To do otherwise would compromise the security of the clan and invite chaos."
Alic: "That's the old way of thinking, but there will be a new king soon father, one closer to my age perhaps? Someone who bases judgments on merit, not the status quo. I intend to have merits aplenty and make a name for myself before that day comes."
