"But first, my friends, I must speak my mind," says Zebron, a cold, icy look in his eyes. "By his schemes, Brent has attempted to show his loyalty to us. By his actions, he has proven his skills. "However, all that remained to be questioned was his honor, which he just defended. As only one who is honorable would care to protect his honor, he has proven this as well," the dark elf continues, his tone softening and a grin spreading across his face. "I, for one, would be honored to have Brent at my side, and will vouch for him in all matters." Dusk agrees, cawing and flapping his wings. "However, what of these two?" queries the drow, turning to them and putting on his best 'evil-dark-elf' look. -jak
