"Haka tells me you have backed out of your end of the deal. He tells me that you plan to flee the city soon. Is this true Riast?" Khesas asked, lowering his voice. Most people in the market were busy rushing on their own business, which is why he chose this place for a meeting in the first place, yet it never hurt to be careful. It would be more than unfortunate if the someone took an interest in their conversation.
Riast, the fat Eypharian he was hassling, waited for a man to pass before he cleared his throat, still nervously inspecting some grapes. Khesas almost laughed but he prudently resisted, for the man had been stubbornly inspecting the fruits since he'd surprised him in the market. It was really rather pathetic, and Khesas was beginning to lose his patience. The man wasn't worthy of continuing to draw breath as an Eypharian, that much he could see now, but he wasn't going to waste the effort on him.
Finally, he spoke up, putting down the grapes and squaring up with him at last. Eye to eye, the man looked fatter, to Khesas's surprise. "I told you, I want no part of what you got planned. Its too much risk! Your demands are too high!"
"Too much work you mean. There wont be any risk if you hold up your part of the deal."
"I'm out, what part of that do you not understand?"
"No, it is you who don't understand. See you don't have a choice in the matter, you know what happens if you don't do what you agreed to"
"I dare you to try"
"I'll see you tonight before sunrise, where we spoke of" Khesas smiled, before turning his back to the man and walking down the line of stalls.
"Your mad if you think I'm going to be there" He heard Riast cry out, but he simply ignored it, figuring it for a bluff. He still didn't understand how that man's pride could be so big while his is yet so unskilled. Perhaps he would pay the man a visit later on tonight, but for now, he'd let the man get worked up on his own. For now, he had other things to concern himself with, like picking up some food and drink for this evening.
