"Among other things, yes...but you talk as if I don't want to return." Ryco places a hand by his heart "I know how you're feeling, truthfully, I do; I know your heart is aching to revenge your friend as quickly as possible but you need to think realistically. Believe me if I knew I'd be able to reject her advances I would march with you to her hidden lair and clear the threat with you. Realistically though, I know I can't; my weakness is for pleasures of the flesh and the very thought of what a being like her is capable of makes my heart start to race, it makes my legs quiver, and my body start to sweat."
Ryco stands "We weren't eaten because they forgot about us; they haven't fed us in three days, when they did feed us it was inedible at best. It's not just about getting laid, if I was that desperate there is a room full of half naked goblin women right next to us. I want freedom, I want to smell fresh air again, I want a fulfilling meal, a bath, and yes, to get laid."
"I'm not a warrior like you and your friend; hell, the only scars I have are from bedroom play. Is it so wrong to ask for a bit of indulgence before going against a stronger opponent than the one we just faced? I'm not asking you to abandon Sandpoint to come watch me perform and do nothing; I'm not even asking for anyone to come with me, I'm just asking you to think, think before you rush into another fight—now at a minus one. As it stands for me, I'll do more harm than good. You can spend the time I am resting, honoring your friend, giving him a proper burial that isn't this hellish pile."
