Talking Normal

Whispering

Who is talking

Torigoth

The gang were at a store buying materials to use during battles.

Random Shopkeeper: Come any time owner.

Rex: Thanks have a good day. don't worry I'll visit soon. Considering this is the only place I could buy this item.

The rest of the gang were looking around but were not really interested to buy anything. They followed Rex as he left the store and made their way to the Torigoth hotel/motel/Inn.

Morag: I'm surprised zat you own zis establischment Rex.

Brighid: Early Investing is a smart thing to do these days.

Rex: I bought the store when I first visited Torigoth. And where the heck did you get that accent Morag?

Morag shook her head and didn't answer him. Rex shrugged it off and continued to walk until they were at the bridge in the middle of the city. The group stopped at the bridge with him and looked at their surroundings. (Morag and Nia mentally prepared themselves if Rex were to start salvaging once again.)

Rex: Yeah, some guy told me to buy it because story plot game me no choice.

Everyone blink and shook their heads as he said that. Sometimes Rex said the weirdest things. Pyra glared at Rex

Pyra: Or was it because the Female Shopkeeper was sad that no one was buying her useless products.

Rex raised his hands defensively. Zeke, Morag, and Nia took a few steps back afraid at how this might turn up. The blades and Tora stared not really caring as they could just regenerate.

Rex: No, i'm telling the truth-

Not wanting another fight to break out, the gang tried to defuse the situation.

Nia: Or was it because you are stupid enough to waste almost all your funds when you first arrived here.

Rex gave Nia a WTF look, not expecting her insult. Too bad Rex didn't know what his friends were doing.

Rex: Hey, come on Nia you know m-

Tora: Or because place sells delicious sausages at half price now.

Rex: No I-

Pandoria: Or is it because you're full loaded with money and have no sense in the world.

Rex: No-, Well that's true- Wait you weren't even introduced until the next chapter.

Nia: I told you were idiot. Buying anything if it costs more than 10,000 Gold. I'm surprised you haven't bought every store in Torigoth.

Rex: there's no point in doing that anyways. you don't get anything from the shopkeepers, not even some income back. In fact-

Rex suddenly stopped talking and his eyes widen. The gang jumped back clearly disturbed by Rex's look he was giving.

Zeke: Hey Chum, you okay?

Zeke waved his hand at Rex's face.

Rex: Do you? I'll be back, you guys can go back to the hotel.
