As soon as everyone was gone, they spoke. “What the hell did you do?” Arcade whispered harshly, and Duncan gasped, a little surprised that he would immediately get the blame for this.
“I have no clue, Arc, I just killed their leader and now they’re all like ‘Hey, you’re with us now!’ I don’t like this any more than you do! I just want to go home…” Duncan tried very hard not to get teary eyed over the situation. He could only subject Arcade to so much of his awkward companionship, and he was sure that he had reached the tears quota when they had found those dead NCR members that were on their way with supplies to Forlorn Hope.
Arcade sighed and sat on the bed. “Okay. It’s no big deal. We’ve just become the de-facto leaders of a chem abusing raiding party. There a plenty of things that can go right with this. Plenty.”
Duncan didn’t want to rain on the parade, so instead of pointing out that, no, there wasn’t much that could go right at all, he sat next to him. “They have a scribe, Arcade…”
“Yes. Nothing could possibly go wrong since they have a scribe.”
