This is Truth, highness. Recognize it and bear it. Know that you cannot, but I will tell you, nonetheless. Even though you despise me, I will tell you: I have traveled back along the river of time to a place that is about to be destroyed so that I can steal things that I want with relative impunity and virtually no possibility of repercussions.“I have already stolen most of the items and killed some people to facilitate those thefts. I had intended to steal your ring of mending. They are not the least common of magical items, but that one belongs to you.” He looked at her pointedly. “You are the grand and glorious Paladin, who, even though you’re just traveling through the city, wound up in legend. The few survivors all told of the glorious stand to save the city. Your great battle, slaying thousands of demonic foes single-handedly in defense of a place you didn’t know.“I wanted her ring. Your ring, Highness. So I arranged to meet you. I am very good at finding people and things. Now, I have worn your ring, and I find myself in a dilemma. I have found greater joy in dancing with you than I ever sought. I fear that I might never know happiness in a world without you, but nothing I can do will change what is to come.”
