The thing about having one’s own rules was also choosing when and if to break them, which he did, often. It was a lie he’d tell himself and the saps better off not knowing him, to keep them out of reach and outwith the radius of any fallout. Nobody needed to go down with him.
Taking a seat, Ruth’s one eye flickered between Nairn and his swollen wrist.
Ruth’s head bobbed along with Dora’s words while he turned to finishing his own half-finished job. As the pain eased his eye found Nairn’s, head tilting towards the dwarf, lips curling at the edges.

We’ve spilled blood, got her out of a tight spot last time, hence she’s Spiderbait. She’s good Nairn. He’s a shy one, Dora. Took him years to talk to his missus, takes him a while to warm up to anyone. Don’t take it personally, if he just glares, stares, or grunts at you.

Promises, promises, but honestly there’s nothing there, just a black hole. It's a waste of time.
