[Kevas tires of camping around the outskirts of the city. Tough as a troll might be, he's a jungle troll. All this cold and drizzle eats at him. He wants no more of it. Time to find a place for him to call his own for a while. First thing's first though, he needs money.]

Not sure how to go about dis other den just sayin' it, but I be needin' money and a place to stay. Now don't go thinkin' I be wantin' handouts cause I don't. Last thing I be wantin' is to be in some mon's debt. I be wantin' to work for my stay.

[Kevas tries his best to appear professional but it feels weird going about finding work this way. In Azeroth finding mercenary work is as easy as stepping into town, here not so much.]

I be a mercenary, former soldier, and somethin' of a wanderer.

[He doesn't like using the term 'adventurer'. It sounds too heroic. Kevas knows he's no hero.]

If any mons be needin' protection, a bodyguard, or help with gang problems I be willin' to offer my services for some steady pay. If dere be other services ya be needin' den give me da details and I'll talk to ya.

[After his talk at the Welcome Center he's trying real hard to avoid the 'kill for money' part of his job. Murder might not be a big deal to him but that seems to be a big no no in this place. Last thing he wants right now is a bad reputation. Then he won't get anywhere.

Unless someone wants to pay him extremely well.]

Also, I be wantin' speak with a Pepper Pots or Bakura about some kind of uh...police force?

[The way he says it makes it clear he's not too sure what that is.]

As long as ya ain't be military, and as long as ya be offerin' a fair price, I'd like to talk with some mon about dat.

Have you tried the Midnight Hotel? They sometimes let people pay for staying in the rooms by working there.

[ She pauses. ]

One thing, though. Violence isn't allowed.

I appreciate da thought ladymon but I ain't be much of a made. Dere only be on thing I be really good at.

[After being a soldier for four years and a mercenary for another two, it was all he really knew.]

Guess some mons didn't get dat memo last time I was dere.

Oh. Sorry. I didn't know you knew about the place. But, you had mentioned helping with gang problems... I mean, I know there's no violence in the hotel, but maybe you can help the owner with keeping it down? Maybe work outside of the building?

[ Like a patrol? ]

Ya mean like a bouncer huh? Could be worth a shot. A scary lookin' guard dog ain't be a bad thing to have.

[Though he's not exactly thrilled to fill that position, he'll do what it takes to get by for now.]

Yeah, a bouncer! [ Now, why hadn't she thought of the word? ] Although, "security" sounds so much nicer than "guard dog" doesn't it? It might save the owner quite a few headaches to have someone there, watching for trouble before anyone goes in.

[ Oh, who knows? That position may lead to better ones if he plays his cards right. ]

Sounds nicer but it still be da same thing.

At dis point though it still be my best shot. Dis cold be worse den any shot to my pride. Gotta be some places around here dat could use a guard- uh, some "security".

Maybe. Maybe not.

[ Obviously, she doesn't think so. ]

From what I understand, with all the unrest going on around here, it shouldn't be too hard to find someone who could use you as security. [ She pauses. ] If not at the hotel, maybe at a bar?

Bar might not be so bad.

[And maybe he can get some free liquor out of it too.]

Dat should be an easy enough job to land, especially in dem rougher neighborhoods.

[Yeah he likes this idea.]

It'll probably keep you busy--if my experience in bars is any indication.

[ Just don't drink too much, or you may need a bouncer. ]

Probably! From what you've said, you'd definitely be able to handle yourself.

[ Glad she could help. ]

Ain't no probably about it. I used to live in one.

[Literally. When you live on the top floor of a tavern you get to see how rowdy things get.]

Not what I be hopin' for but it be lookin' like I ain't got much choice. It either be dat or sit my ass in da snow.

Well, at least you'll know what to expect, right?

[ And get paid for it. ]

Maybe you can do something else once in a while to give you a break from that and keep you out of the snow.

Oh I plan to. I ain't be da kind of troll to sit in one place. Gonna go nuts if I do.

You sound like me. I really don't like sitting around too much.

[ And she's a ninja... ]

I'm even worse in a hospital.

Wasted enough time followin' orders dat meant nothin' to me. Not gonna waste anymore sittin' on my ass.

[He grins.]

Ain't even been to one. Don't need it.

You're not the first soldier I've heard say that. [ Not to mention her own actions in defying orders. *cough*

She narrows her eyes humorously. ]

Never been to one? Are you one of the lucky ones who can regenerate and heal automatically?
