[The mention of one of the gods potentially torturing this guy gives Magnus some pause in keeping up the long con. What did Lup tell him, and why is Hope after him?]
I mean, if you really need me to beat you up to get you used to torture, I guuueeess I can do that, but what did you even do that's got Hope on your ass? Also, who are you?
Oh! I'm Malkus Iverwelling! Doctor of the plague and apothecary to all.
[ In his free time, Malkus work shopped a more interesting introduction to make himself seem more affable. Clearly he could work on it some more, but it was progress. ]
Undoubtedly you've heard of an impending investigation. I have reason to believe they will target me, as I've got quite a deep relationship with the Null who wish to harm them.
[ He didn't. That was a lie. But he DID speak to them slightly, and agreed to aid the Null in killing Hope. So it only made sense that they would try to pry something from him! ]
All of this is secret, of course. But I must get stronger!
