Eris' question came as Kamrynn struggled clumsily to mount his horse. The Knight was ill at ease around horses, an unfortunate phobia for a knight, and the horse didn't seem particularly fond of knights. It whinnied nervously as the clamored onto its back and shook its head. "It's alright." Kamrynn reassured, half to himself and half to the horse.
Having situated himself and spurring his horse forward, he turned to address Eris' question as they journied down the road.
"Lord Valren did speak to me, at length, even. I'm sure you've heard that Lady Vanessa's fiancée was murdered." Kamrynn regretted not knowing the man's name. "Anyway, the men behind the murder, the Iron-Hand Gang, they've decided to go after poor Vanessa, too."
Kamrynn clenched his fist, and growled the rest of his words through clenched teeth. "What kind of evil has infected this world that would cause men to kill another man then go after his innocent fiancé? It's disgusting."
Composing himself, he continued. "This time they won't get away with it. The Iron Hand Gang has caused a lot of trouble in Syliras, but they're good at what they do. The Knights can never pin any of their crimes to them, so they walk away free. I don't know what Vanessa knows, but Steward Knight Gormar said we could put The Iron Hands away once and for all after I bring her back. I'm guessing they know that too, and I'm sure they've even sent some vile creature after her, to silt her throat before she can out them for their crimes."
Kamrynn's Vanthan eyes flashed fiery red for an instant, then he added. "But you can rest assured, I'll bring Vanessa back or die in the attempt, because I won't see her or any other innocent suffer by their hands."
As the two rode along Kamrynn offered a few questions to kill the time, ranging from her origin; "Where are you from, Eris? Skyinarta perhaps? Your red hair and green eyes scream Inarta." To things like, "Where did you learn to handle a dagger so well?"
