Roderik/Rodie
Roderik took a few moments to ponder the offer, as well as choose his words carefully. "You want me to run an errand for you? what if I enjoy the current arrangements with "Rodie", Of course I have no desire to return to Reaper as a corpse, as I'm sure you would keep my soul in a bottle, or some other cliche trap as both a warning to others, and to prevent me from being returned to life."
The enraged alter-ego bubbling just below the surface was threatening to break through again, Roderik was winded, and tired from the battle, while Rodie was fresh, rested, and surging against the bonds that held him captive, it was with great effort that Roderik forced him down, and continued speaking to the Mage
"Speak thy task and I'll decide, I shan't go against the plans I've been setting in motion, nor against Reaper in any form, but then, you knew that," With a smile the bard added, "I also want the candle as a reward for whatever task you set me on, untouched, as it was given to thee."
