~Dustfinger~
Dustfinger didn't hesitate to answer. "Who am I?.... Now that is an interesting question." Dustfinger started, leaning against the brick wall thoughtfully. "To my enemies, I am the worst nightmare one could dream. To a stranger, I am an aggravating and mysterious man. To my friends, I am a frustratingly clever ally. And in the context that we currently are in.... I am a man who has been taken out of my own world more times than I'd care remember." he answered calmly.
~Scipio~
He stared at the man. It was one thing for the girl to forgive him.... but him? The Thief Lord? Forgive and ally with someone who blemished his name? Attacked him? The very thought sickened him.... and yet this man wasn't offering friendship, but brotherhood. Scipio had no brother, but be it this man, he would probably hate him. And what was wrong with allowing someone you hated, to become a hated brother? This man, as much as he was despised by the Thief Lord, would be better as an ally, someone he could use to his advantage to return to Italy, than as an enemy who would consistently attempt to harm him.
"I take your arm, but I tell you, in the way you may not respect my title, let it be known that I hold no regard to yours either. In this world, and in this matter we are both equals." he said, giving his right hand to the Italian man. "But raise a hand against me and you'll have hell to pay for it." he added, a warning tone to his voice. In Scipio's mind, this was no bluff. In brutal strength this rude Italian man could not be beat, but in brains, planning, cleverness and determination, Scipio had the upper hand. He always found a way to outsmart the enemy, and this would be no exception.....
