As Tim approached he shook hands with the woman, "Thanks for the invite, bit out the blue but being unemployed these days means I've kind of got nothing much on." He noticed the two women and wondered quiet what he'd got himself into, some kind of clandestine meeting? As Matilda talked about Denman he had to shake his head. "This might surprise you but I agree with Denman on some things. Sam Halliday is a scumbad and Matilda Osman should never have been Queen. You see..." he edged close to her and lowered his voice, "You see for years I thought the Gods spoke to me, you see me and Jekar had a deal and it all stemmed from the fact he thought King David was screwing up. The man's the descendent of the saviour of humanity, Raimond Unasson.....nice guy, I've meet him..."Tim smiled, "and that means the Ironside blood line is special, the East Moreland nobility are supposed to be able to trace their lineage back to Unasson's companions, the Osman's are new nobility so they can't, so Denman has that bit right." he leaned back again, "What she has wrong however is the way she goes about her message, whether I agree or not Matilda Osman was my Queen, that means she has my respect. What she also has wrong isn't her twisted version of the Cult of Helus, hell when she dies and meets the guy and Jekar begins her punishment before sending her to oblivion she'll get whats comin to her for that. My issue with Denman is simple, you can practice whatever faith you want as far as I'm concerned, but as soon as you start imposing your belief onto someone else your a bitch. Trying to change my buddy Jekar's temple isn't on and I'll stand against that all day long."
The waitress had appeared and Tim hadn't even looked at the menu, "Garlic Fried Chicken Liver to start please, then I'll have the medley of game sausage please, although no rabbit but extra bear....and I will be having pudding" he handed the unopened menu back to her as she headed for the kitchen.
