**The club was full of drunk sellswords, and if there is a better audience for that sort of song anywhere in Bakara then the bards have yet to find it. The only noises before Sombra finished were the hiss of more casks being tapped and the sniffles of a mankiller in the corner. Then, the club erupted in roaring approval.**

**Makeda, who'd jumped down off of her broken furniture throne and crossed over to Sombra, chuckled a bit as she rammed a knife through the cork on the cask of booze she'd snagged.**
Makeda - "For his gratification, he says. Are you a warrior-poet then, Mister Guitar? Traveling Bakara, a sword at his side and a song in his heart?"
Sombra - Hardly. The guitar was a gift, seemed like a waste not to learn to use it. The swords were a prize, won for surviving a decade of bloodshed. I'm far better with the latter, so I do what I can to get buy working odd guard jobs.

Sombra - You know about that? Yeah, Cult of Magni. My people sold my mother to an Elexian slave trader I punched out the trader's kid one day when I was young, and they sold me to the cult. Managed survive for nearly a decade, even won their little spectacle eventually. Finally some rich nadrask that had made a fortune betting on me decided to buy my freedom in thanks. He gave me the guitar, some gold and a lift to Elexia.

Makeda - "I know enough about it. Some trickles of information came out during the Lee Incident; got that from my mother. And I know some more just from being in the life; you don't stay a sellsword for long if you don't know which times of the year to avoid the Lutharins."
**She passed Sombra one of the glasses.**
Makeda - "I have to say, a decade's a long time. You'd have been...ten? Eleven?"
Sombra - Younger. Was rounding down. And that was his name, Lee. Bought my mother when she was still pregnant, neither of us were ever allowed to leave the estate, put me to work as soon as I was old enough to do anything. Once I was free I went back but he'd already been taken down, no trace of what happened to my mother.

Makeda - "Oh, sort of. It's the company's really; I co-sign the contracts and pimp us around to the right interests, but none of that makes me anything better than the rest of these idiots. If they want to put me on a throne of crappy furniture, I'll sit on it, but I know that for every hour I've spent wounded in the field, ten of them have bled out without ever turning back."

**It was around then that Binxy reappeared, giving Colt a look.**
Binxy - "You're good at pickin' your converstions. That one - "
Sombra - The fact they trust you to be the one that accepts the jobs and signs the contracts speaks plenty. Doesn't matter how much skill, experience and determination you bring to the table, if you are applying it in the wrong direction you're screwed all the same.

Makeda - "Don't think I'm trying to be humble here or anything. It was a role someone needed to take, and I was probably the best for it. Seeing to it that the sellswords of Bakara are marginally less screwed is a calling for me."
