"If a bandit leader, if their talks about the "Boss" are any indication... Has it out for me, then I figure I know what's going on" He admitted. "The fact of the matter is that no good deed goes unpunished. You do what I do for long enough... And you're bound to ruffle a few feathers. Odds are I've just gone and ruffled the wrong ones. Considering the lengths they're willing to go... I've probably ruffled them more than a few times. It's not like I can tell the bandits apart, after all" He remarked with a laugh.

But he was glad that Mu was able to make the most out of the map. Maps were cheap things, but essential for travellers. While he wouldn't need it for this trip as he knew the way to Torensten from here by now, Caius always did like keeping a spare around just in case things went terribly wrong -- so he was glad that whatever inconvenience this could end up being would likely end up being worth it should the map serve Mu much better than it would most likely serve him.

"I bid you all the best as well, Mu. May your travels find you whatever it is you may end up looking for in this world" He spoke, giving a bow of his own as he headed off. He genuinely did hope for the best for Mu, no soul deserved to be stranded in a world not their own. But it was up to them now to make the most of the life they now had. For some, it would be of little change... Others a miserable, constant reminder of what they had lost, and for some... They would come to find this world as a second chance. But no matter what they found it to be, the goal should remain the same. Find your place in this world... And live it.

Once Mu had disappeared, Caius' expression changed. Serious, business-like as he turned to Vordun.

"Original Sin" His voice reverberated off his tongue. "They have a lot to answer for... We had best get to Torensten and find out what we can."

For whatever reason, after seeing the atrocities he had seen... Something roused within him. Memories of his old world, and what folks had done for the sake of it back then...

And within him, the capability to kill another human being began to stir from its slumber once more.
