Ah, a believer who has never seen. That might not last long.
“People get up to enough by themselves without anything spiritual making them do it.”
Ah, a slight dig there at my sudden reluctance to jump him? "They say 'the devil's in the details'." I take a long drag on my smoke and watch the embers flare and settle.
"In Excolo, that is the god's honest truth. Believe what you will, discard the rest, but I speak the truth plain when I say the the greatest source of misery to man walks the streets of Excolo." Another deep drag and then I toss the butt away into the street.
"Don't have to believe me, of course." Shrug a bit and push off the wall. "Hard pill to swallow, as it were. But if nothing else, remember this... if it's too good to be true, than it is, don't trust Kent Whitman for he is NOT who he proclaims to be and keep away from the damn water tower."
Look to the sun, and decide I had better get back to the market and find something for Miao. "Come talk to me again after you've lived here a bit. Ask around for strange stories, believe me, you'll find them, and thanks for one of the more interesting afternoon's I've had in a while."
Give him a smile and wink, and head back to the market.
