Well. This is off to a weird start. Considering how many people Moby has killed in this line of work, he's seen a lot of odd reactions. But this? This takes the cake. He's never seen anything like this before, and if it is truly a ploy to get him to stop... well, it's working.
He suddenly releases the kid, springing backwards and landing easily, knives sheathed and hidden in his long, loose robes again as if they'd never been out in the first place.]
Already dead, huh? That's a new one. Care to tell me about it?
[That's rude?? But also: he already tried to kill the guy, so. Whatever.]
[ Nothing personal, my guy, he just really does not feel like retelling the day of his death, but hey, at least he's not being held at knifepoint anymore. After some consideration, however, Percy realizes that he probably should say something because this guy might not believe him, and then he'll definitely be double dead after that, so. ]
I mean, I can tell you I died in a robbery incident. I had nothing to do with it, I was just collateral damage. Sorry, wish I could've told you a more exciting story.
[ That really is all there is to it, though. ]
Dunno if I can make you believe me, but that's up to you, sir.
[ If only Pierre – his stuffed bear – wasn't in his backpack right now. He could probably find a more discreet way to take him out and summon him, if it wouldn't be so obvious... ]
