Well, wasn't that damned handy for a lone wolf. Still, he'd given me an order, and odds were he knew how to survive this place better than I did. Until he came back, I decided to make sure nothing snuck up on us from the way we came, sweeping the hall with my lasrifle at the ready.

"Because he's smart. And because we think it might be tzeentch, associates with xenos, eldar lover he is."
-
I gave him a look. "And xenos automatically equate Chaos? Believe it or not, most of the other races in this wide blood-soaked galaxy are in the same boat as us, just trying to survive. To a lot of them, Chaos is just another thing out to kill them, same as with us." I shrugged. "Course, the hell do I know? I'm just some stranger, pulled from his life before to try and survive in this hell hole."
-
"I'll give you the benefit of the doubt friend, you're new here, you've still got a lot to learn. Xenos want us humans dead just as much as chaos does. "
-
I shrugged again. "And we want them dead all the same. I'm not saying they're not a threat, just that they're a wholly separate one from Chaos." I paused. "Most of the time, anyway."
-
"Never met a dark eldar then. Just mind yourself, especially around the inquisition around."
-
"Fair enough." With that, I tucked back into my dinner. Seemed I was going to have to keep my thoughts to myself for a while. Hopefully I wouldn't have too much trouble with that. Hopefully.
-
It proved correct, no one bothered him.
-
Eventually, I sat back, my plate and bowl clean. "Thanks for the food. Mind if I crash here for the night?"
-
"So long as you don't bring those xenos or cultists and if Blackburn comes in here he doesn't start anything."
-
"Can do," I said. I might have said something witty, but I was tired, and had obviously already pissed this guy off enough. Best to not push him further.

He leads him to his room and leaves him the key, and heads back down to his bar.
-
I opened the door to observe my lodgings for the night.
-
It was a plain room, a bed, some dressers, a chest, a chair, and a desk.
-
I sighed as I locked the door behind me, finally letting the reality of my future hit me. I wasn't going home anytime soon. Upside, there was some really cool shit here, if I lived long enough to get my hands on it. Downside, there was a LOT of shit that was bound and determined to make that endeavor difficult. I shook my head to disperse my thoughts. I could consider it tomorrow. Right now, I needed sleep. I considered taking off my flak armor, but decided against it, only taking off my helmet. I'd be more prepared if something happened, and feel far more safe, if I kept the majority of it on. With that, I laid back on the bed, putting my helmet to my left and my lasrifle to my right, and shut my eyes.
