Arawn hated relying on people. It was one of his core character traits really; short, grumpy, hates having to rely on people. ESPECIALLY in life-or-death situations which this was, unfortunately, shaping up to be.
He'd been investigating a local drug lord, strangely not for the drug thing, his wife had been convinced he was cheating on her. And he was, which Arawn had discovered when casing out the den the guy was pushing his drugs from.
And then, because the gods really hated him sometimes, he'd immediately got caught, restrained, and thrown in some sort of storage container.
An occupied storage container.
"So what are you in for?" he asks, because he can't ever resist being sarcastic. "Piss off the boss."
