I don't know, probably anything that got a bad rep. Maybe black cats? They might be more closely associated with witches but essentially anything deemed 'evil' would be connected to me. This is just another stated fact. He's used to it.
"I accidentally got a fisherman eaten by a sea creature that was displaced in Lake Circinus," he says blandly. "By that point we knew the signal for some tracking location was loosely northwest of Cadens, so we were hitting different points east of Thorne's territory as far as we could go; Kyle had started closest down to Solvunn's border. So I took some tag-alongs and a Thorne guard--since they weren't completely letting us out on our own--to check out the lake."
He spreads his palms and makes a displeased sight, remembering with absolute fascination at the massacre and gore. "We got a fisherman to take us out. I wanted to get to the edge closest to the Singularity's shore. He got awfully twitchy about going any further. Whispers about something in the water stealing their catches. I bribed him with some coin to go out and he agreed and crossed the ice."
Lucifer coughs awkwardly. "He's very much no longer alive. Our Thorne guard booked us the hell out of there while the tentacled monstrosity chowed down."
He scratches at his chin. "Technically the agreement for the fisherman was half payment upfront and the rest afterwards." Or Robin!! Which he still thinks was a perfectly reasonable sale!! He wouldn't have it happen afterwards anyway if she didn't want to, god, he's not insane. "I wasn't going to honor that deal, but that's besides the point."
So what was it about then?
"Problem is, Thancred said Nott would be willing to take us in. Call me selfish, I don't care, but I'd prefer to have a good reputation already established in Nott if that day comes." Sigh. "The fisherman had a family. I want to give them what they're owed." He waves at their weird stack of enchanted logs. "Maybe one of the warming logs since I don't need two as much anymore, but I don't know how their homes are heated, so they might not need it."
I think the guard that was with us would back me up about needing to offer recompense and help us go if he tags along.
