[IC] Goblins at the Gate

[Linwelin]

Ana...

Kin sat motionless off to the side, lost in his thoughts as he continued to fight off the shock and negative emotions from recent events. He looked up, gazing at the duo that came through the portal from a distance. His eyes had an empty look to them.

Guard Powderkeg? How could I? I can't evened protect my own damned home! Besides there's already mention of spies, who's to say the whole defense won't get sabotaged internally again. He grimaced as the recent betrayal came back to mind. If I can't protect a place with people that CAN fight for themselves, what use am I in a place with people that can't? If they're all evacuated, it's best to just seal off the entry and focus on guarding the portal.

Thus, the halfling sat there, looking upon the flow of people going in and out of the portal. For a while, his expression remained the same, neutral and disinterested. But in a few minutes, it twisted into agitation. He'd become restless.

I'm sure their expressions are close to how mine's been. Kin gripped his fists together. I'm pathetic. At least these people have the excuse of not defending their town. But it's literally my job to protect. He clicked his tongue through his teeth through disdain for himself. Then why am I still on my arse!? Kin raised his fist up beside himself, and made a single, swift motion.

He punched himself in the face.

Kin, you dolt. Since when did you start doubting yourself? Have you always been such a quitter?

The halfling promptly stood up, dashing straight for the portal. "It's time to get to work!"

Kin's once-empty expression was now determined, his eyes lively. What better way to get out of this rut than a good fight?



Not far away, watching a certain halfling gather his wits.

"It's good that he's gathered himself together, but he's in no state to fight alone!" A certain armored swordsman muttered to himself in exasperation.

"I guess it's time to summon them." He said, as he made his way into the city, twirling a certain membership card in his hands before putting it away for safe-keeping.
