Perfect Plan

I look at the old man. 

[Who is this?] 

"An old friend of mine." 

  [What is he talking about?]

"Don't worry about it."

He goes and unlocks the door. 

Enters an old guy with a huge mustache and a box. 

Wolfie too. 

What is this? 

He comes closer. 

"Hey boy, are you the one that is dying soon?"

[What?!] 

"I never said that he is dying, but yes."

"In your letter, you wrote that he offended the Moon Keep. A corpse would have higher chances at life than him!"

I feel like that guy is a bit too pessimistic in my odds. 

[What happened to this city protecting the lives of people?]

"Hahahahahaha, aren't you cute? That only works are long as the city is standing. If they receive an ultimatum from a strong sect, they'll give you up instantly." 

I guess this makes sense. 

After all, this is part of diplomacy. 

To compromise.
