Le tremblement n'a pas cessé quand Edward a vu Ealdwine s'effondrer sur le sol. Ça ne s'est pas arrêté quand Ealdwine lui a jeté son épée.
Je t'ai déjà appris, maintenant apprends-moi! Beaucoup de vos ancêtres étaient des guerriers storiés. Tu as étudié l'escrime aussi bien que la musique, n'est-ce pas? Montrez-moi comment un Hart-Ellington fait face à la mort!
Un puits d'ennui s'est développé à la place de l'effroi.
J'espère que cela n'implique pas de pleurer sur un sol sale de taverne.
Espèce de vieux pompeux...
Immédiatement, Edward s'est levé, et a attrapé Ealdwine's rapier de la naine. Ses yeux étaient encore gonflés et son nez était rouge, mais il se tourna vers le carnage. Les secousses s'étaient arrêtées. Son sens de l'odeur revint, et il couvrit son visage à la puanteur qui inondait ses narines. Il regarda Pallas, qui avait été percé dans l'abdomen, mais secouru par la femme bandée. C'était sa chance de se racheter.
Il se tourna vers le nain avec détermination, prêt à l'aider à prendre Pallas.
Name: Edward (Heir to the Hart-Ellington nobility and estate)
Needs: To see the world that he's been sheltered from, and woo as many lovely ladies as possible.
Object: hand cannon - sort of like an early primitive blunderbuss.
Detail: The cocky but intelligent 23 year old son of a rich nobleman, Edward has lived all of his life in the lap of luxury. Feeling cooped up in the world of the bourgeoisie however, Edward decided to flee his father's estate and see the world. On his way out, he managed to steal quite the hefty pouch of gold and one of his inventions, which he calls a hand cannon. As bright as he believes himself to be though, he's found that his refined upbringing and womanizing ways have not served him well on his journey so far.
(5'9", slim build, caucasian complexion, boyish, clean pretty face, blonde, blue eyed. Aristocratic wardrobe. Only difference is he always wears a top hat)
Relationship to Pallas: Met her at another tavern prior to the start of the narrative. Stricken by her confidence and ambition, Edward sought to get to know her better. To his surprise, Pallas returned his sentiments, and a wonderful evening was spent conversing with the young bounty hunter. Though the night ended without any sort of conclusion, Edward likes to think that something lovely could happen if they ever were to meet again.
Relationship to Ealdwine: Ealdwine took up residence at the house of Hart-Ellington as a musician and instructor when Edward was in his teenage years. He really didn't like him.
