Dulgron stretched and said "I wanted to stay sleeping for longer." "What are you doing, Azgath!? Have you forgotten what they've done to us!? This is wrong!" his mother snapped as she barged fully into the room. I looked over at her and said "It's not what it looks like. Azgath, Dulgron and I were just sleeping. Nothing else happened." I then turned to the others. "Right, guys?" I prompted. Azgath was quick to agree. "That's right! There's no way that I would actually mate with them. Look at them. They don't even look nice enough for me to bed." That got Dulgron fuming at him, but he stayed quiet. The mother glared at all 3 of us before taking a deep breath. "No more guests in the middle of the night. Especially not these types of... guests." He nodded and she left the room. "Don't come to my house ever again." Azgath repeated. I shrugged. If I needed to, I probably would. He just whined as he had no power over me to stop me from coming. "It's bad enough being near you at work, having you in my bed made it hard to get any rest." he grumbled. I let the two demons handle themselves.
Eventually, they were ready to go. I got fully dressed and joined them. We split up so Dulgron could get to his guild. "You better look out for Phirlax and Thalox today and in the coming week, Uraris. They won't be too happy with us." he reminded me. I nodded as I waved bye to him. "So, you play tricks on your comrades as well then. Why am I not surprised." Azgath said with a frown. We did impose on him. "I'm sorry Azgath." I apologized. He scoffed and began walking. I followed him for a minute in silence. I decided to tease Azgath a little bit as we made our way to the workshop. "You must have been having a really nice dream during the night. You were leaking a good amount of precum in the bed. I had to wipe it off of me with the sheets." Azgath began to blush a furious gray. "Shut up! There's nothing nice about it." he snapped at me. "If it was about me, that would be flattering." I said. That made Azgath stop in his tracks. "If I was going to have my rump taken, it would be by someone 12 times as dominant as you." he said blisteringly. I smirked. "Who said your rump was being taken?"
Finally the time had come. It been a couple weeks, but Azgath and I had enough sales to advance us to Expert Blacksmiths. We could make fully metal axes as well as a range of different longswords. Polearms could be made as well. Dalmar still had a ways to go as a Journeyman. I had been level 24 for a while. Azgath was level 15. The time was right to move on from the town. I was going to need to talk to my comrades though. After work, the first visit I made was to Dulgron. He looked pretty happy to see me. I pulled him aside and said "I want to see those silver rings we bought. I think it's time we got them enchanted." I had told him all about my plans while we were in the caravan. He was skeptical, but promise to keep them in his room when I paid for them with my money. I left them so that I was never tempted to just skip town. He took me to his room and showed the box. The 6 rings were all there. We took them to the town enchanter. We were going to need an illusion enchantment. It made no sense to go to human territory if they would be hostile on sight. We needed to look human.
