Ah Swordmaker. First time i've seen your name in a long while. I am glad to see you still around even though we didn't always agree.

Good to see you.

“Ss... Stop! Or I’ll sh...”

When, having heard a bloodcurdling scream, you encounter in your own home an armed blood-dripping hastily fleeing stranger and you have a gun in your hand why the FECK would you waste time TALKING?

I thought the same thing when Irene was relating the tale to us… but the brother had no such compunctions back years earlier and DID shoot the man.
