Hargeon Restaurant is one of the more less subtle restaurants but still one of the biggest, being two stories big with a fork crossing a knife as a sign at the center of the building it has a wide variety of seafood and a few non-seafood delicacies. This is a restaurant you want to go for a nice quiet dinner with company.

Zill did not pay any real attention to Kesshin's comment on his cloths as he did not know how important it was to him. Like Zill, Kesshin's father left him something as well but it was probably slightly uncomfortable since Zill's father knew how big Zill would grow to since his mother tailored it for him. So far as Zill knew, his parents died of an unknown illness and he had to move out to the streets or lose everything including his armor gifted to him years in advance.
Where they were going none of them knew as Zill was leading but he put a pace to his walk as if he saw no sense in being late. While his stance would be that of someone merely walking fast and steady, his eyes were darting down streets and between people as he looked for a restaurant. Eventually he found a two floor restaurant. "Well there is one... but I don't think it is in my budget..." He said as he patted at his sides and only the armor and fabric replied without a chime of a single Jewel. It was actually centered in the wedge of the brestplate so that it would not rattle or be touched at any given time and used up empty space without causing restrictions or discomforts.

Absalon opened the door and disappeared to the restroom. He glanced at the mirror in silent thought but merely washed his hands. Turning back around he returned to the two. "Just eat Zill, worst case scenario we dine and dash." Absalon was too comfortable in this life. However food should already be prepared for Absalon, a future ruler deserved to eat like one. Thats how he thought anyways. The boy smiled and took a seat at a nearby stool then turned around to Kesshin."What was the name of Raven Tail's guild master anyways? I never caught it last visit."

It seemed Kesshin wasn't going to get an answer out of Zill, though he could always scare the answer out of it, he didn't figure it was that important, he was just trying to make conversation after all. Zill lead them to what appeared to be a fancy restaurant, Zill talked as though he was broke but Kesshin knew his paranoid behind probably had his jewel tucked away in his sock or maybe in a protective cup where is actual jewels used to be, "Well I can pay for just about anything, jewel is no object to me." Kesshin laughed, he hoped they just had some good food nothing like snails or anything. When Absal talked about dinning and dashing Kesshin simply nodded, "See why can't you be more like that Zill? Shame you hang around fairies though. " Kesshin said to Absal. Kesshin took a seat at a nearby table, seemed Absalon took a seat near the bar and Kesshin knew that Zill would think twice than to sit at the same table as him, he'd want to sit next to the door or by Absalon for protection or something; to Kesshin that man was so predictable. Absalon mention Kesshin's Guildmaster to which Kesshin replied with a shrug, "Bossman? He's like really busy these days. He's probably the only man I don't keep tabs on to often but my guess is that he was walking around with my little flaming princess dragon slayer, they were probably catching up while you were running around the guild." Kesshin said, he leaned over Absalon, "They say he's not human you know, they call him the king of the demons, his eyes don't even look human mere mortals, ask Zill though I think he ran away or something before getting a good look at him." Kesshin whispered, he then went back to kicking back at his table, "Hey, if you're a God slayer or whatever does that make you a God? Does that mean you can see Bossman's true form?" Kesshin asked jokingly, he knew the boy obviously wasn't anything of the sort, Kesshin would hang that title over his head until he felt the boy truly deserved it.

"thank you Kesshin, though I think we may follow your lead" He said as he made a reference to being willing to dine and dash which was slightly interrupted by Kesshin's words as he did not get to put in his own agreement before being demoted a peg. Zill had made an order at the bar as he waited for Kesshin to sit. Once he sat, he made a gesture to the window which a clicking sound could be heard from a latch being flipped so that the window would be open. Where he sat would probably be surprising to Kesshin as he was actually sitting in a dark corner directly behind Kesshin rather than near an immediate exit as Zill had faith in his ability to get up and chicken out of an establishment. "Can I ask how many slayers your guild has?" He asked, wanting to just have a general idea of why there were so many slayers there. Zill did not ask nor interrupt the conversation about their 'king of demons' Micheal. He could have answered the question but he thought it best to wait for later which was suddenly then as he had a question of his own. "Your master Micheal has a different form?" He asked, remembering the armor plated form in which he came into the guild hall which had his unique armor which he was wearing when he threw Geno through a wall and Crowley out the door.

Absalon raised an eyebrow and thought silently to himself over Michael. What the boy was thinking though was anyone's guess. Absalon suddenly reached out and grabbed a glass of water, taking a large drink he suddenly realized just how thirsty he was. Looking up he smiled at Kesshin and chuckled. Little did Kesshin know just how much those words pleased him. Finally Absalon had one follower of himself.
Then Zill spoke up, he asked some questions that stuck in the back of his head. Yes he wanted to know more about Michael, but he couldn't help but be more curious about these slayers. Were there perhaps more God Slayers than himself? The boy couldn't tell now, but perhaps Kesshin would provide the answers he was looking for. As Zill asked a waiter came over and dropped off a plate of bread. Without a word of warning Absalon grabbed a piece off the loaf, and began to dig in. He hadn't eaten since before arriving at Fairy Tail. It had been quite some time for himself, but he really wanted to taste something really electrifying. Something to really charge him up for a battle. His batteries for now were on low charge, and if he intended to kick some real a**, which he did, he'd need something more exhilarating than this small piece of bread. Perhaps this restaurant sold some lightning bolts, though Absalon highly doubted that.

Kesshin laughed at Zill's comment, "Now we're talking! But my lead is a bit on the wild side see?" Kesshin said leaning his head to Zill but not actually turning to face him. Zill sat next to Kesshin who wasn't sitting near the exit, Kesshin wanted to point out how "brave" Zill was being by not sitting near the exit to be the first one to escape but decided in his head not to, he figured he aught to let him breath for a minute before making another insulting remark about Zill's manhood. Zill continued to speak to Kesshin asking about the Dragon Slayers, "Dragon Slayers you say? You mean like Geno?" Kesshin asked, he contemplated the question though he knew full well the answer, there were two Dragon Slayers in the guild "But..." Kesshin thought to himself. He was thinking of that weird guy, the creature that hung around with that new blood Raven Tail girl, that man... or creature smelled a little he had the odor of a dragon, but Kesshin had never seen him in action and never really spoke to him, not that he cared to. If it was true there would be a total of three, little Rammie, that snake creature and himself; Kesshin put his right index finger over his mouth in a hushing motion, "Thats a secret." Kesshin said with a small grin. Faeries were still faeries despite them socializing and what not, that info was none of their business, at least Kesshin would tell the guys anyway, a lovely lady maybe but not these guys. Zill had one more question for Kesshin to answer, this one was about Micheal, "Yes he quite a variety but I still believe even despite that he still has some other secret up his sleeve. I guess thats why he's the Bossman." Kesshin said with a shrug. Kesshin didn't know if it was some type of secret technique or secret magic, all he did know is Micheal was hiding something and Kesshin would find out what it was eventually.
Absalon stood there silent sipping on water it seemed, Kesshin was surprised, this was the longest he'd ever seen the boy silent when he smiled at Kesshin, Kesshin simply put on his trademark grin and rubbed his nose like he accomplished something, "If God Slayers are somehow related to Dragon Slayers I guess that makes you guys like brothers and sisters eh Absal? Or maybe distant cousins? I got it, distant brothers and sisters?" Kesshin said in a jovial tone, not really caring about which they were, though not really revealing the fact that he was talking about Absalon and himself either, "Still I wonder though is it just a title? or are there people who really were taught by gods, magic on how to slay the very ones who taught them." Kesshin thought to himself rubbing his chin. Kesshin thought Absalon could shed a little light on this, "So Absal who taught you how to use that magic you have their?" Kesshin asked, he was curious if it was actually a god like Thor, or someone to that effect. Absal's answer would be interesting and either way it would prompt Kesshin to do more research to see whether God Slayer is some title Absalon had given himself or if there are such things as God Slayers, "If its true then Absal is not just some boy to toy around with in battle..." Kesshin thought to himself as he smiled waiting on Absalon's response, if he even got one at all.

Zill was glad that Kesshin seemed to at least be laughing with him rather than against him. This gave him a sense of headway into keeping his head attached to his shoulders if problems arose with Kesshin's guild Raven Tail and his own guild Fairy Tail. "At least I come prepared for as much as possible, wide side or not" He said as he tapped his shoulder. Kesshin probably would not have guessed because of where Zill chose to sit but to Zill it was the most tactical place to be. Being behind one of the most powerful people around, there would be at least a delay between him turning around to come after him if Zill angered him, he had a wall to his back and a table in front of him so most assailants could not get to him but from two directions and lastly, he knew that for a fact he could jump up out of his chair, turn on the ball of his foot in a one hundred and eighty degree spin and be out the open window in under two seconds. How did he know? Zill had stolen a stop watch at the same time of bailing out once causing mass confusion so that it would be easier to escape and he hit the stopper at one point eight seconds. Zill was slightly depressed because of that grin Kesshin made in pronouncing the secrecy of the number of slayers. While it made him think that the number was small, Zill was still thinking that Geno was in there as well and it was in a probable range of ten to twenty as he would over estimate everything before dying. "I would not doubt that, leading a guild of assassins probably would not be possible unless he could kill all of his students" He said thinking that it would probably not be possible for anyone he knew to touch him without some major back up. The comment about Micheal killing anyone and everyone in his guild at will might have been taken as if he cursed the guild seals to poison the members if they turned on him but Zill had put that out of his mind as he doubted that he could find any such weakness that might be that simple.
Zill watched as the two were having a strange conversation that seemed to be heading in a dangerous direction. Zill was really not wanting to see a confrontation between gods and dragons being played out on a small scale between their slayers. They would suddenly see a dark forearm and gauntlet appear between them on the table and hear a voice coming from between them as if Zill was sitting at that spot. "Could someone replace that bread?" He asked, trying to change the subject before it came to blows. It was not that he was not also interested in Absalon, it was just that he thought patience may be better than immediate answers.

Absalon listened to Kesshin and then roll his eyes as he said it was a secret. Disappointed Absalon took another drink to prepare his story of how he learned magic. Absalon didn't like thinking about his history with this magic, it wasn't that it was tragic, he just made a lot of mistakes. "Casamir left me a book before he passed away. I took the book with me to the nearest town and demanded that they teach me how to read. After that I was self teaching. I wasn't taught by a god, that would be a form of suicide. I however was taught by a book. Who ever wrote the book, must've been the one to imagine the gods in the first place. It was very old. Some words not even the elders could tell me. The text was too old. As for being related to dragons I dunno. Casamir mentioned dragon slayers only once. I think it was one of his stupid stories to get me to fall asleep. Its been a while, but I think that he thought they were just more god slayers. I've heard of some towns worshipping Dragons. That they were on the same levels as gods. Its not outlandish to think that perhaps in the varieties of languages around the world, and our origins, the translators might've read two different words." That was all Absalon had to say about that. He didn't think much about Dragon Slayers. In his opinion, in no world would a dragon possess the same powers as a god. Could they create civilizations from sheer imagination, no. So someone possessing the power to kill a dragon, had to be weaker than someone with the power to kill a god.
Absalon heard of another way to kill a god. It took a lot longer than by using god slaying magic. It stemmed off the theory that a gods power was defined by the people's belief in them. So when people stopped believing in it, they would cease to exist. Perhaps you weren't killing the god, so much as removing him from existence, from ever existing. Thats what made it long though, getting people to revoke their religion was a crazy idea. Absalon was very happy he got his magic instead. So far though he hadn't ever been called upon to zap a god to death.*BAM* The sound of Zill's imaginary gauntlet slamming against the table, made Absalon jumped. He was getting caught up in times with Casamir so he was happy that Zill made him snap out of it, even if that wasn't Zill's intention. "What was that for Zill?"

Zill was rather lost in the concepts that Absalon mentioned. He was honestly surprised that such a complex magic could be learned by reading but as he thought about it, Zill remembered that his was mostly created by his own experimentation with his skills and experiences. When he thought about how it would be suicide to try and get a god to teach a magic to him, Zill began to wonder how exactly a slayer would actually kill their foe. From the stories he was told as a child, Zill was always told that it was to make it a fair fight and it did not really ring any bells till then. "I wonder why a book would be left by something that is suppose to rival a god" He thought, questioning the divinity and omnipotence of the gods as to why such a book would not have been destroyed before it was even being written. When that thought came to mind, it made him wonder if the powers were actually made by the gods and dragons for some sort of game so that they would not destroy themselves yet still be able to wage wars.There was a thought in his mind that if they wanted to wage wars and had so many slayers that it would be an interesting turn of events if someone outside of the deities immediate range of influence was to break into the war and shift the entire element of battles. At this point, Zill realized he was over thinking things and came back to reality for how ever long he could keep his mind on the same plane of existence.
Zill had not seen the plate in between the two and the gauntlet changed poses from what would be his hand on his cheek to putting his entire face into the palm of the hand. "I was meaning to ask a question about the bread you grabbed and accidentally made a mess... I will be taking my hand back now..." He said as the arm that was between the two vanished. His idea to put himself in the center of the conversation to break up the growing tension became self embarrassment. He would try to remember not to try and wedge himself into a seat between two people again even if they looked like they were going to fight.

"Doesn't matter if you're prepared or not, it wouldn't be able to save you." Kesshin said, he pulled back from Absalon for a moment and focused on Zill, "I've done my research though its not any big secret but my guild, Raven Tail was originally formed just to mess up Fairy Tail real bad, and for another reason, though I am sure that secret stays with Bossman, I'll figure it out eventually." Kesshin said with a cocky grin, if Kesshin was good at anything it was research and recon. Soon Zill started talking crazy, and Kesshin got slightly irritated with his comment "You don't understand the Bossman at all, then again one who knows nothing can understand nothing. No matter how prepared you are that paranoid personality of yours will most likely be your downfall." Kesshin said, many saw Michael as a monster, though that was what he was that was only part of him, the part Kesshin figured Michael wanted most to see. The more Kesshin thought about it the more he wondered, "Just how did you end up joining a guild anyway? You seem to be afriad of just about everything, how can you trust that your allies wont stab you in the back? Surely that must have come across your mind before you joined." Kesshin said a bit curious.
Soon Absalon began to tell his story and Kesshin was steadily losing interest in Zill and his panophobia,"A book you say?" Kesshin asked, "Not an actual God... hmmm, Well thats disappointing but then again I never believed in Gods anyway." Kesshin thought to himself as Absalon continued talking. Kesshin laughed when he said that he demanded the people of the town to teach him how to read so he could comprehend the magic book, he imagined the boy was only maybe 10 or 11 doing that, "Thats some guts Absal and you taught yourself, impressive." Kesshin said with a grin. Absalon continued to speculate that God Slayers and Dragon Slayers were one and the same, Kesshin thought about it for a second though he had already made up in his mind that it wasn't true, "Hm, I dunno about that from how I hear it, you don't learn dragon slayer magic in a book, lacrima implant sure... but most Dragon Slayers I know told me that the Dragons they were hanging out with taught them how to wield their magic. I can only imagine you can develop that by hanging around a dragon for maybe a year or three, one thing is for certain, dragons are indeed real, I saw one with my own two eyes. Anyway since you told me how you learned yours I guess I should exchange information with you though its not as impressive as yours, my step father taught me how to wield mines, after that I haven't seen him since." Kesshin said, now that step father and that dragon Kesshin saw, those two were one and the same.
Suddenly a projected hand game between them and Kesshin eyes slid over to Zill, who had some bull crap answer "And you thought... a giant magic hand would be just the thing for this situation?" Kesshin asked confused, he never knew what was going through that mans head, a scary thought probably emerged in his head and freaked him out or something, at least that was Kesshin's guess anyway. A waitress came by and Kesshin decided it was time for him to order, "Excuse me my voluptuous hunny, do you mind taking my order of a side salad and steak?" Kesshin asked, he gave her a small tip even though the food hadn't even been brought yet and winked at her.
Absalon shook his head. They both seemed a little surprised that he was taught his magic through a book. Absalon was surprised a Dragon Slayer would be taught by a dragon. "Gods are prideful. No god would be stupid enough to teach a mortal such as myself the power to kill them. That would be suicide. So it astounds me that a dragon would teach a human to kill them. It just doesn't seem logical." Absalon's eyes suddenly widened. Dragons were alive? That blew him away. If Dragons were alive, then they could probably read the verses of his book that he couldn't translate. If a dragon could do that for Absalon, then the boy could tap into the magic's true potential. Of course Absalon hadn't even connected the dots that far, he just wanted to see a kick a** dragon. Dragons were like Santa Claus to him.
As the waitress came over to take Kesshin's order, Absalon suddenly interrupted her before she could ask what the rest of the table wanted. "Where was this dragon you saw? What did he look like? Was it even a he? Do dragons have genders? Ohh it must've been so cool. I wanna see a dragon really badly. Maybe a dragon slayer can tell me what you can't. They must keep seeing their mentors right? Oh I gotta find one. Do you know any dragon slayers? They probobly have distinct features, same color hair or something? Kesshin I demand that you tell me everything you know!"

Zill looked at Kesshin with a face of extreme worry that left his face white enough that it would look like the only color in his face was his eyes and the scar that ran down the arch of his nose. "Am I underestimating him into a level of omnipotence? Micheal did let someone stab him without bothering to seal the wound..." He thought, unsure of how he should respond as his entire concept of mind was avoiding a need to have something save him. The mention of the guild wars also struck him as disheartening. Though it brought up a question of how Fairy Tail could even exist to that modern day if Micheal was a deity. Why would he let something exist if his guild's soul purpose was to destroy Fairy Tail. This brought some color back to his face and even more when Kesshin stated that he would figure out why eventually. From what Zill knew, Micheal had taken over the guild of Raven Tail recently or at least what seemed to be recent with his limited perspective of time. The confidence Kesshin had and the secrets Micheal returned a perspective that somewhere, some day, Kesshin would find some way that even with all of his extraordinary powers would mean nothing as he would find a way to get someone to kill him in some horrible way befitting of his lack of prudence. "My lack of understanding is why I avoid doing before I know what I am getting into, head first often ends up like Geno as a hole in the wall" He said as he had at least some point of reference to explain his perspective of why Zill disliked Kesshin's method of antagonizing things and commenting on a lack of understanding when Zill's fears and paranoia sent him in search of understanding on a regular basis. Zill was not so blind as to see Micheal as the demon king he was described to be by others since there would be no reason for him to have let Crowley or Geno live and, by Kesshin's own words, it was shown to Zill that he had his own objectives since he walked through Fairy Tail, not to destroy it, but simply to talk to the guild master. "Fear is a motivational drive for most people Kesshin, starving seems more likely than getting stabbed in the back and I wear a suit of armor to deflect the knives ever since someone tried to stab me at six years old in the chest" He said to Kesshin. There was actually a lot to the story but the trauma of the events that happened that day and why were lost to memory blockage.
Zill was not really surprised about Absalon's method of learning since his own was even more simplistic with skills that functioned around touching metal and creating a form of that metal preforming the same actions he did. Zill was puzzled by why Kesshin would have seen a dragon and not talked more about it and instead have gone into a topic of talking about his step father. The fact that dragons were real was easy to believe but combining the topic of dragons and who taught him did not even register at all as the thought went so far over head that it fell out of orbit into the cold abyss of space at that time until someone brought it back down to earth.
Zill didn't respond to the magic hand as he just kept his head down in embarrassment. He still felt that he succeeded in his task as Kesshin and Absalon stopped arguing extremely fast so he would eventually recover if the task was not mocked continuously later on.
While he could agree with Absalon on his comments of tutoring but Zill still had a concept in his head that gods and dragons were holding a planetary scale board game in which Absalon and Kesshin were board pieces. His sudden interruption of Kesshin's attempts at flattery were both amusing and interesting... mostly amusing as Zill was sitting in the back with a smile on his face that was also coupled with intensive muscle control to keep from releasing a laugh or even the sound of a laugh being restrained. That restraint had a slight loss when Absalon said "Maybe a Dragon Slayer can tell me what you cant". There was a large quantity of panic but it was over shadowed by the sense of humor and hysteria was probably going to come later if things went wrong but Zill was probably one of the few that could burst out laughing then straighten up and stop with surprising control. Absalon's questions seemed to refer to someone like Kesshin yet he was asking about someone else making it even harder to avoid laughing, while still capable, it was not exactly comfortable to hold in that much energy.

Kesshin laughed Absalon kind of thought like Kesshin,"It was funny, I said the same thing about dragons... But they take people in, teach them their ways their magic and love them. Not everything in the world is logical my my friend, you best do well to remember that." Kesshin said fascinated at the thought of a Dragon loving a human child like family, though he's already experienced it, "Who knows maybe their is a God with such humility, though I am afraid thats one thing I have yet to stumble upon." Kesshin said, though that would be interesting because Kesshin never believed in the Gods, but Kesshin believed in the power of his father though he supposed dragons were Gods in their own right. Zill was pretty quiet over there, was he freaking out about what Kesshin told him? Kesshin thought so.
Suddenly Absalon started getting excited about the things Kesshin told him, "Whoa whoa slow down, I came across him during my travels, I met him in a swamp and tried to battle with him alas he was to much, even for me. He towered high, was well built, green greener than I. This dragon understood my tongue and even spoke it as well. I assume their are specific genders as a good friend of mine is a Dragon Slayer, she told me she was looking for her dragon revealing that the dragon was a she." Kesshin said pausing before he continued to inform Absalon of the news, "Regrettably many of the dragons have disappeared leaving their respective slayers without a trace, at least that was what I assume from the information I have gathered from the slayers I have talked to which has not been an substantial amount to be fact, Where they have gone I cannot say, but in return for the slayers and to impress a lovely lady I am looking for them as well. Anyway I expect the information I have given to you wont go to waste and I expect when I come looking for infotmation you may have possible knowledge of that you give it willingly as nothing in life is free, from me anyway, well unless you are a iridescent beauty" Kesshin said, even though he enjoyed Absalon he still was not a woman and would not be treated as such.
Zill seemed to have collected his thoughts and he spoke and every time he managed to come up with an excuse Kesshin had a counter waiting, "So that gives you an excuse to plan and still not act? There will be numerous times when you won't really know what you are up against. Will you run and abandon your allies? or will you stay and fight even if you may not survive? Thats the difference between courage and cowardice." Kesshin said, nonchalantly as his food was in route. He loved to pick on Zill as he said before, he also did care much for men who were cowards like Zill, but Kesshin felt that was just a facade, if it was he would bring out the real Zill, if it wasn't then he would have fun possibly tearing him limb from limb mentally. He need not say more because it was true that a scared cornered animal would do anything but Zill was not cornered or an animal, he was just a big scaredy cat, Kesshin knew it and so did he. Kesshin food arrived with a small folded piece of paper, he knew what it was without even unfolding it.
Absalon listened to Kesshin but he didnt really have much to comment on at the end of it all. His information was next to useless for him, and Absalon's curiosity about Dragon Slayers was all but dead now. He was more curious about Dragons in general and clearly they couldn't be caught. Still Kesshin didn't hesitate to roundabout say "you owe me" which Absalon just nodded to. If Absalon knew that Kesshin was leaving out the bit of "oh I'm a dragon slayer myself" he'd erase that debt immediately because frankly why should he owe someone who didn't give him all the information he wanted? Still Kesshin did encounter a dragon, and Absalon was amazed by that by itself. He wondered what it must've felt like. Standing in front of a towering god like if you really wanted anything to be put into perspective. Its like standing in front of a skyscraper just to see how mortal you really are. You're nothing but a peon to them. Absalon and his magic just made him a very strong peon. He could still be squished. That was for sure.
Kesshin had been the center of two different conversations and it was as this first conversation wrapped up that Absalon began to pay attention to the other one. It was only now that he realized Kesshin and Zill clearly had some past encounters and the questions Kesshin asked Absalon had to know. This would define Absalon's level of trust with Zill. Zill who clearly held his life in his own hands and refused to leave it to anyone elses hands, and for good reason. However Absalon left his life in a lot of people's hands because that was the way he was raised. A child cannot protect itself, it is up to it's parent. So it was instinct of Absalon to see his Guild Master protect him from other stronger opponents. Of course that wouldn't be a situation that Absalon had to bear for long. He didn't like the idea of being a burden and frankly he was getting stronger by the minute. This was just a gathering of information. Information over dragons, information over comrades, information over Raven Tail. Good work Absalon you were accomplishing so much without even realizing you were. Absalon had the tendency to just act impulsively and then retain the information he gathered from it, he never realized though that he was retaining it. He never thought like that it just kind of happened. It was like reading. You read the letters and turn them into words but you never realize those words are teaching you anything until that thing could be put to use? In hindsight that was a horrible metaphor but hopefully the point got across. Absalon was weird, thats all that mattered.
"I wouldn't consider Zill a coward. Not if you think about it. The cowards are the ones that survive, because survival is the instinct. Why humans gave survival another negative term such as cowardice is beyond me. Zill is just ...defensive. Isn't that right Zill?" Absalon spoke with a smile, hoping to get Kesshin off of Zill's back, the man looked uncomfortable, and Kesshin came off as a bully more than anything else. Absalon still liked him though.
