[Baseborn on his father's side. Wealthy landowner on his mother's. Not nobility, but certainly not a peasant either. No, Haytham never knew the hardships his father faced but it wasn't until adulthood that he knew enough to praise that good fortune.]

Good. With any luck those in my group will be able to find something useful among the remnants of the ancients. Something that would allow us to destroy or better control these crystals hopefully.

[Dycedarg raises an eyebrow at the other man. He suspects that Haytham could guess which outcome he would prefer from their search. Dycedarg would never destroy something he could so easily put to better use.]

Such discovery could surely turn the tides of this war against the Calamity. Keep a sharp lookout.

[ For a sharp knife in your back! No, no, poison was so much more elegant...and delightfully untraceable. And premature. Knife or poison, it would wait until the assassin had outlived his usefulness.]

I will eagerly await news of your success.

[Haytham inclined his head in thanks. There was something about this man he didn't completely trust. It took a viper to know one, and this too was a man who played his cards so close to his vest that it was underneath the armor he wore.

In another world, in another circumstance, he might make a fine member of the Order. However for one reason or another Haytham found that most Heroes either sided more strongly with the freedom the Assassins espoused, or were out for their own interests.]

Likewise. With any luck we will be able to offer that good news to each other.

[A good poison would be the best tool again this man. A quick acting hallucinogen to make him attack his allies before bringing an end to his life. Not very subtle, but the others would be all too ready to accept that he had truly meant to strike them down.

But no. Not now.]

poison buddies XD

[He gives Haytham a calculated stare.]

Do not plan to rely on luck. It is with forethought and careful application of our skills that we shall both prove victorious.

[The slight up-tilt of Dycedarg's lips suggest that he certainly expects success, no matter what sort of 'luck' the supposed-assassin leaves it up to. Reliance on luck is just another way of excusing failure, in his opinion.]

If he gets Dycedarg to kill enough people he can get an achievement

[Haytham would actually agree completely. In his line of work you couldn't leave things to chance. A person needed to be in the right position for a plan to work. A body placed just so. Escape routes were better plotted than made up as they went. And then bribes in the right places.

But 'luck' made for better alibis when someone 'happened' to take a spill down a flight of stairs or you were just a moment to late to save them from a trap or an enemy's sword.]

{You snake. Is that what you're planning to do to me? Make my child an orphan while I'm trying to save everyone here?}

Well then, may FORTUNE be with us. [And may the Father of Understanding guide us.]

[zodiac_brave]

[Dycedarg gives Haytham an approving nod.]

Indeed. Was there anything else you require? We are all quite busy with preparations...

[Not that he did not enjoy...well, tolerate...pleasant chats, but there were still plans to see to and a world to take over.]

[not_most_days]

No, I believe that will be all. Pardon my taking up your time. I have some preparations to see to as well.

[Where that there was time, Haytham would tail Dycedarg to try to see if there truly was anything else, but dealing with that Assassin was his primary focus.

There would be time enough to assess and deal with the other heroes later.

Haytham tipped his hat and turned to walk away.]
