"An inhuman human, huh?" Haine repeated, looking at the deer leg in thought. "Yeah... I guess that's basically what I am. And my strength is only amazing when it's used for the right thing." Haine's eyes shifted upward, gazing at the same stars that had caught Jyade's own eyes. "I thought when I joined the knights I'd be some sort of protector of the weak and all that cheesy stuff. But all I've done so far is kill people in the name of the king. It's sickening..." Haine took a small bite from the venison, chomping it lightly with his teeth. "But at least this time we're on a mission to save someone. Even if it is the princess, I'm happy that the objective is to rescue someone instead of clearing out a bandit camp or hunting down criminals.
Haine looked over at her with a light smile. "To tell you the truth, I was surprised that you didn't slit my throat in my sleep the first night we met. I was prepared to fight you, but I'm glad that it turned out differently. Haine managed to finish the rest of the venison within a few moments of silence, eating the meat all the way down to the bone. He tossed away the deer leg and prodded the fire with a thin stick, pushing away the hot coals.
"Anyways, I don't think it matters. If the mercenaries come looking for us in the next city, all they need to know is that there are two people traveling with a gryphon. We're going to have to keep our eyes peeled and our ears open the whole time."
