Clyde Arrowny: ...?
Nightveil: You are one of those 'bounty hunters' aren't you?
Clyde Arrowny: That depends on who is asking.
Nightveil: I have a mark I wish you to deal with.
Clyde Arrowny: Money talks my friend.
Nightveil: Name your price.
Clyde Arrowny: 10,000 pieces per hit.
Nightveil: There are 6 of them... [whispers] vampires... call themselves immortal, savages. They claimed my mother's life a few days ago, [tears begin to form in her eyes] I want them dead!!!
Clyde Arrowny:Vampire you say? Consider the price halved. I like a customer with good taste.
[Clyde pushes back his chair and stands]
details, now.
Nightveil:[Wipes the tears from her eyes] Powerful and merciless. They primarily prey on women and find pleasure in suffering. They are tough, are you sure you can do it for me?
Clyde Arrowny:[aside] One of them may be the one I am looking for... if not, it makes no difference. Surely my actions of late will draw out their leaders.
[to Nightveil] If you didn't think I was capable you wouldn't have come to me. Wait here in the tavern understood? any funny business and I'll ensure that you regret taking me for a fool.
Nightveil: Thank you Bounty Hunter.
[Nightveil hands Clyde a small slip of paper contain further information about the mark and the location]
Clyde Arrowny: I'm a Shadow, not a 'Bounty Hunter'.
[Exit Clyde]
Nightveil: [smirks] Too easy.
