What?? Did we read the same story? He tried to hide his markings at first, until he realized that he couldn't blend in anyway. He wasn't trying to call attention to himself. To me when he is ruminating about the innkeeper, he sounds weary, not cocky.
I could imagine that he didn't grow up a slave, though. He seems to be a free man who simply won't bow under. As far as his judgment of the elves, it sounds like he just expected elves who didn't have to deal with the possibility of being enslaved to be more dignified. Sounds like a bit of naivete to me. Slavery is the worst thing he can imagine, so as long as one isn't a slave things should be chipper.
That's how I read it, at any rate.
But he no longer tries to hide. He is too proud to take the options that he has. And considering he is basically a neon sign in weird foreign clothes with a ridiculous weapon for whom people are actively hunting, staying in one place is practically an invitation to find him and fight, which eventually comes and he then enjoys.
It's like procrastinating an easy assignment that you have plenty of time to do, by telling yourself you'll do just as well in a rush or don't need the extra time, or can do better in a rush, etc etc, thereby making it all the more difficult for yourself in the end.Laziness, and/or overconfidence in one's own ablity... at least when I do that >_> Playing it unnecessarily close to the chest, as I said in a different post. Potentially sabotaging yourself, for the challenge and satisfaction of emerging against those odds. Except... it's his hard earned freedom he's juggling with. He must think he's good enough to deal with anything that comes his way, or want to test himself, or thinks he is 'above' living meekly even if that would provide him safety, or enjoy conflict, or wants to flex his freedom and damn the consequences, or some combination of those, which all says ego to me.
Maybe he is actually sick of being hunted but he sure is working verrrry hard to disappear. So I think this is about when the PC steps in and encourages him finish off his enemies once and for all or hide for real, as I believe Mike described in a video this/last week.

That just made me lol, I'm so happy I'm alone right now so my family won't look weirdly at me..
I wonder if there will be some interesting party banter between those two regarding that subject..
Retour en haut
