Karadin

[Stoat]

The dog that had been following him for the past mile eventually started to catch up. I was a ragged old mongrel with a friendly look. Karadin slowed until the dog was at his feet. As he smiled down, the dog kicked him in the shins.

Wha? Where? Karadin woke with a start.

Heh, good morning, mis amigo! said Chico, tapping Karadins ankle with his foot. You look somewhat the worse for wear!

Head pounding, and his eyes feeling like theyd been rubbed with sandpaper, Karadin looked up at his new friend. Uhnn was all he could manage. The other three Corsairs had already left.

Listen, we have to go. Heres the codes youll need to dock on Cadiz in Omega-5. He placed a data stick in Karadins hand. Well see you there, hermano. If youre in need of dinero, remember that therere bounties on Hunters, Mollies, Hessians and the BAF. Thatll help mis camaradas to trust you better as well. My word can only stand you so far. Hasta luego, Karadin! He extended his hand.

Karadin shook himself, and took Chicos hand. Til next time, my friend.

Chico nodded sharply, then turned and left. Karadin looked around briefly, then set out to find somewhere to get some food. He was starving!
