Lombard's eyebrows shot up in surprise at that, and Beam saw him nodding. "There is a ring of truth to that… Your master sounds an interesting man – though I am still not convinced he is who you say he is."
"I thought you said you trust me," Beam said.
"To a degree – at the very least, I do not think you all that skilled at deceit," Lombard said. "Though the presence of this master behind you, the type of figure needed for this to make sense. No logical name comes to mind," Lombard told him.
"Then why ask me to work for you? Couldn't this all be part of my master's grand plan to stab you in the back?" Beam said.
"The benefits outweigh the dangers, is what I am thinking," Lombard said. "Though that remains to be seen. Are you prepared to fight?"
"I am," Beam said.
"Good," Lombard replied with a grin. "My soldiers that you detest so much will be watching. I hope that you will give us all a good show."
