Part 216: Sully A

Kellam?

...R-right here, Sully. L-look, don't hit me! I know I helped you out again, but I didn't mean to! Honest!

Actually, I came to thank you. I was outmanned that time. Had you not stepped in...

What? Are you saying-

Yes, all right? Yes. You win. You can watch my back. Gods, I've never met a more stubborn man in all my life!

Everyone needs help sometimes, Sully. I mean, we all fight for the same cause. It makes no sense to stand alone, no matter how strong you are.

Heh. So you want to serve as everyone's shield, huh? Well, that's a hard role for one man. How about I help you out?

Help me out?

If you're watching everyone else's back, someone's got to cover yours, right? You can be the shield of the Shepherds, and I'll be the shield of YOU.

Er, I suppose so. But...

What? You don't like the idea of someone helping you? Well, tough beans!

Well, all right. Thanks, Sully.
