Re: [Chapter 1.01] The Call For Heroes
Getting closer to Yarr you can make out the expression on his face, a mix of anger and frustration. Of regret and desire for vengeance. There is an expression, "beating yourself up over it". Yarr looks like he's doing as much damage to himself as he did to those mephits.
When the healing potion is offered his expression soften. Though the present doesn't seem to do much. The little hero was ravaged to near death in that chaos, healed up, and then worn down again after. Even putting aside the emotions of the tragedy, Yarr looks like shit.
"Thank ye, lass. Appreciate it."
When Neza comes over a short time later he wipes off his hand and shakes the offered hand, "A pleasure. Ah be Yarr the Hearty. A tidal ye ave seen why I got. I could ave dun better though. If only I'd killed 'em faster somehow, so we could have got 'em out sooner. Maybe if I hadn't urried so much and taken time to draw me blade. Maybe if I had dodged and not needed that healing it could have gone to one o 'em. I dunno. Ah dun feel like much of a warrior."
Not waiting for any reply he goes over to the dead with a forlorn expression and places a hand to his hat. Hesitating for a moment he pulls the hat off and puts it over his heart in the typical manner to honor the fallen.
Immediately his expression changes completely. Instead of forlorn he is confused. The goblin looks around frantically, as if he doesn't know what is going on, looking with panic at the bodies and his wounds and the fire. He quickly jams the hat back on his head.
He then is abruptly angry, grumbling, though only the close by can hear him, "God's dammit, ya git! Figer it out! I'm doing this!"
He takes the hat off again and repeats the guesture. The panicked expression immediately returns, but instead looks at where the hat is, looks to the bodies, and this time lowers his head and says, R-rest in p-peace. I'm s-sorry for y-your suffering."
His voice is slightly higher pitched, and more noticably, his pirate accent is totally gone. His demeanor is completely different.
What the?
