That is true, if the family chose to silence me I would simply... disappear.
That being said... I must ask, if they tried to kill me /here/ what would happen?
[Certainly an unexpected development Luocha found himself standing outside at the designated meeting spot. The merchant was far from a desirable date once anyone looked a little deeper than the silky hair and doeful eyes. But who was he to refuse a free meal?]
@PenaconianHoun [Hes looking at the steak now, he's managed to make some progress] I also heard a few whispers about the trouble with the family from a certain colleague. I'm inclined to believe that the other branches are hiding their involvement. Relishing in the new power they've maintained.
@PenaconianHoun [He smiles, intrigued.]
I once heard that there was a passenger on the Astral Express that bore a striking resemblance to me. Enough so that my presence greatly unsettled them. He must have been troublesome. I'm inclined to share that belief.

@PenaconianHoun As a merchant I have very little things I call my own, so the little things start to feel like the greatest treasures.
Anyways my next question is an odd one, is there any conspiracy theory that you believe in? Some sort of rumor or whisper in the stars.
@PenaconianHoun I will not bore you with the details, it's used in prayers. Something that gives me routine. [He smiles softly at the cross for a second before he tucks it into his pocket, returning to his meal] Though I do think the use of precious metals is a bit ironic. Don't you think?
@PenaconianHoun [Instinctively he wraps the gold snake chain around his hand, it felt at home there. Ready for a service to a church with no members] it's... one of the few things I have from... well. It reminds me of what I need to do. I have many qualms with what it meant to people.

@PenaconianHoun There is speculation to be made but nothing too concrete. Someone who carries a flashlight around may have a habit of getting caught in the dark or exploring. A cocktail shaker though... superstition? Or do you just enjoy hosting?

@PenaconianHoun [He shrugs continuing to eat as he considers that. Not commenting on that, there is no need to. Eventually he sets the cutlery down for a moment.]
Whats an item you will always try to keep on you no matter what, and why?
