You needed someone to blame, so you cast it on me.
Marcus's smile dissappeared from his lips faster than a fire in a thunderstorm. Of course, of course they'd have a mage to spot lies, everyone here was awful! They'd have backstabbed this Immeral two dozen times over if left unchecked. He quickly rose, putting a hand on the holster on his back and summoning a small orb of dark magic in his palm to empower him, should the need for violence become unavoidable. But alas, thoughts of his intended goal kept him from seizing the initiative. Win or lose, he was going to die, either at the hands of this bodyguard or Immeral himself. Instead, he opted for trying to diffuse the situation with words, initially. He dismissed the orb(albeit, the buff had been transferred to him) and removed his hands from his holster, instead putting them up in a mockingly "surrender" stance.
"Psh. Never liked truthsayers one bit. But alas, let's not fight each other just yet! Very well, I admit that I lied. However, understand my plight: When you hear the words "supreme overlord arch-mage", does your mind jump to a modest, to-the-point man? I was merely trying to appease the massive ego I assume every big shot to have.
So, you want honesty? Here be honesty. I'm tired. The entire fuckin region and no one's got a shred of ambition! Small-time cuthtroats, solitary beasts, worthless vigilantes-Nothing worth my time! Until I heard of you and your posse. Finally, someone who's worth my bloody time! So, I teleported in here, and since I had no bloody clue how any of this worked, I just... Improvised. Assumed that "Hey, big guy should be fairly full o'himself. He'll enjoy some boot-licking alright." I see now I underestimated you, and I apologize.
See, I enjoy the simple things in life. Blood on your face, power in your hands, loot in your purse. And i think your organization could give me a chance to do these things. Meet interesting people, learn new magics, kill some morons. That kind of thing.
So, you can fight me, which can go either way for you, but for me, it'll probably mean death...Or you can just tell me what I'd need to do to be given a damn position round this place. I'm no pushover, and It ain't my first scuffle. I can prove both of these claims."
He lowered his hands and directed his gaze towards Immeral, making it clear that this last question was aimed at him. He was off to a very rocky start, but maybe there could still be some negotiating to be done.
