Submit! (RoseGM!)

[Thorn Wyatt]

"Good."

Elias nods, pleased that they'd all followed along. It was a good start.

"Well now, you have a choice. You're indebted to follow me, now, since I've beat Booker. That means you can either come back to my territory to start training my people, teaching them to fight and keeping them in line."

Which was option one.

"Or, you can start taking over other bandits in my name. Ones that are small enough to take over, do it. Ones that are too tough for you, point out for me, and I'll do it."

[Stigma Wyatt]

Booker raises his hand!

[Thorn Wyatt]

"....what?"

[Stigma Wyatt]

"YOU OPEN FOR SUGGESTIONS?"

He's being polite.

[Thorn Wyatt]

"I am."

The hell he is.

"But it doesn't mean I'll change my mind."

[Stigma Wyatt]

"THAT'S COOL. I JUST THINK YOU'RE WASTING OUR POTENTIAL HERE. MAKE HALF OF US TRAIN YOUR LITTLE SLAVES, AND THE OTHER HALF ASSIMILATE MORE BANDITS. THEN YOU GET TWICE THE PROGRESS." Booker says.

"NO ONE KNOWS THESE BUMS MORE THAN ME. JUST ASK AND I CAN TELL YA WHO CAN DO WHAT MOST EFFICIENTLY."

"You're being way too forthcoming." Penel says in annoyance. "We just lost our freedom."

"YEAH WELL WHY NOT MAKE THE BEST OF IT?"

[Thorn Wyatt]

"....that's not a bad idea."

He says, before looking at Penel.

"You're coming back with me."

Then he glances at Booker again.

"Who's good at what?"

[Stigma Wyatt]

Penel narrows her eyes but doesn't say anything. She won't follow him because he's their "king". She's only doing it for Booker.

"WELL, I'M NOT GOOD WITH REGULAR PEOPLE SO SEND ME, FINN, AND ANNORA FOR YOUR BANDIT RECRUIT. PENEL, AXEL AND KEN ARE PATIENT ENOUGH TO TRAIN YOUR SLAVES. ANY OBJECTIONS?"

"Works for me." Annora shrugs, while the rest seems to accept silently.

"Booker..." Penel as usual doesn't seem to agree. Booker just laughs.

"GIRL I KNOW YOU CAN CONVINCE BANDITS TOO, BUT YOU'RE BETTER OVER THERE."

She's unhappy as usual.

[Thorn Wyatt]

"That's fine."

Elias shrugs.

"Like I said. Take over whoever you can without a problem. If there's someone you're worried about, point me to them. I'll fix them."

[Stigma Wyatt]

"NOTHING'S TOO TOUGH FOR OL' BOSS." Booker laughs as usual. The others can't help but smile, always empowered by how carefree and sure of himself he is.

"AS FAR AS BANDITS ANYWAY. CAN'T REALLY SAY FOR QI USERS. ANYWAY, IS THAT ALL YOU WANT FROM US, THEN?"

'cause that was an easy enough job to get paid in stuff for.

[Thorn Wyatt]

"That's it, for now. As we get bigger, you'll have more opportunities to loot and pillage whatever you want, and you'll have a better chance with an army behind you."

He chuckles.

"You're members of my Kingdom now. Welcome to the Wyatt family."

[Stigma Wyatt]

"ALRIGHT! WELL YOU LOT GO REST UP. WE GOT WORK TOMORROW."

He pauses and looks at Penel.

"EXCEPT FOR YOU I GUESS."

Penel frowns but looks at Elias.

"Lead the way."

Since he said she was going with him. She assumes they aren't staying here.

[Thorn Wyatt]

Elias gestures with his head for Penel to follow, then looks at Rose.

"You too. We're leaving."

And then starts heading out to those terrible pathways, to start making his way back to ground level.

[Stigma Wyatt]

"O-okay!" Rose obeys so fast, but she lets Elias and Penel go first.

Because if Penel tries anything Rose is shoving her off the trees. Probably. That's the intent anyway.

Penel pays her no mind, walking comfortably all the way back down to ground level.

[Thorn Wyatt]

Elias is just straight heading back to 256!
