#### Anon heals Tempest

"I don't understand."  
"Hm? What's up?"  
"Why are you helping me?"  
"Why am I helping you?" Anon stopped his work for a moment, shooting Tempest a weird look. "Why //wouldn't// I help you?"  
Tempest blinked. "Isn't it obvious?"  
"Obviously not, since I'm officially lost. You feeling okay?"  
"But..." she stammered a bit, trying to form the right words. "I don't understand. I thought you and the Storm King..."  
"What about me and the big guy? I don't get where you're..." he trailed off, looking at her funny for a moment before the cogs in his brain finally put it all together. "//Ohhhhhhh,// I get it!"  
Anon, complete with a wry little smile, sidled up next to a still partly petrified Tempest, throwing his arm around her withers while her head tried to pivot away from his sudden move.  
"You think because I'm the baddest motherfucker on his side of the fence means that I buy into his 'every creature for himself' schtick, don'tcha?"  
"W-well," Tempest couldn't avoid sprouting a slight embarrassed blush at him putting it in those terms. "Aren't you?"  
"Tempie, lemmie tell you a little secret, just between us." Anon, still with his arm around her, moved the golden needle to his other hand, continuing to unstone her body while he talked. "Never believed that load of concentrated tough guy talk for even a brief lil' beat."  
She turns her head just enough to see his expression, trying to gauge if the strange man was really telling the truth.  
"See, it's //good// tough guy talk, and it's even kinda true in that whole 'survival of the fittest, raar-raar~ fear me' kinda way. 'Cept there's one problem."  
"What? What problem?"  
"You ever notice how all my troops are the happiest bunch in the world? How they fall over themselves to get shit done for me? How //good// they are at their jobs?" He winks at her. "You think I get those kinda results by doing the whole '//get to work you fucking peons, rawr be afraid of me//' act?"
