Background:
"No, I most certainly do not need to justify it to the likes of you." Armen retorted, with a defiant shake of his head. The halfling brushed his long red hair back.
"I mean it. Stop looking at me like that." Armen turned and continued down the path, distancing himself from the group. Having reached a suitable distance, he paused, and produced a flask, seemingly from nowhere, and drank deeply from it.
As his companions approached, Armen continued to pointedly ignore the subject of his current displeasure.
"It's no use."
Thinking back on what they knew of this odd halfling, none of this seemed particularly out of character. He liked to spend his time jotting notes and muttering to himself, mixing strange brews and fussing over the results. Then, of course, there were the rumors of a brewery explosion in Absalom... questionable ingredients, angry authorities, litigators and semi-lucid taste-testers.
But still, he had been a useful and spirited companion. He kept spirits up with a well-timed song, always seemed to have the right tool for any situation, and knew enough magic to help out when needed...
But this?
The halfling crossed his arms in a final gesture of resolve. Then he took a deep breath, and released it as he gazed up at a perfectly blue sky.
"Fine. Fine-fine-fine. You are absolutely right. Playing "He knew Her Best By Moonlight" was a poor choice of ballad for the mayor's anniversary. How was I to know he was a rampant womanizer? But the crowd was calling for it, and who am I to refuse a captive audience?" The halfling grinned, and offered a pull of his flask to the pig, who happily indulged as well.
"I do so hate when we argue, dear Hops," he said as he patted the contented swine on the head. The two continued on the road, the halfling wandering off into some other story, gesturing grandly and laughing to himself as he recalled it to his companion.
