[h3]Zerul City, the Drunken Dove[/h3] "The short version, then," the blue-haired one nodded at the penin, idly reaching up to play with a lock of her hair with her left hand. She smiled at them charmingly, although a particularly perceptive individual might notice a slight squint in her eyes and a trembling of her brow, as though she was silently suffering. The other one glared menacingly at Ixion, clearly dissatisfied with his response to their request. There was suffering in that one's eyes as well, but it was far from as evident as it was mixed with wide-eyed madness and face-scrunching bloodlust. "It takes a lot of effort to behave," the masked one told him, its voice surprisingly similar to the blue-haired one; in fact their voices would have been exactly alike, had she not lacked the other one's lisp and instead produced an odd clicking noise every time her jaw moved up or down. "I would prefer you not making it harder than it already is." "Relax, dearest, I'm here," the more obviously female of the demonspawn consoled her kinsman, earning a glance from the other one that probably made every baby within several miles cry from the sheer intensity of the murder in them. "We'll be leaving the city soon, then it'll be easier. Just hold on 'till then." Turning her attention back to the others, the blue-haired one looked first at I'on, then at Ixion, and smiled at them once again. Her left hand was no longer playing with her lock of hair as much as occasionally yanking on it, hard enough that it would have to be causing her significant pain. "My sister and I have been hunting an especially troublesome demonspawn for nearly five months now, and our latest information makes us believe that he is either heading this way, or has already been here. He has killed a lot of people, including deo'iel, and we have been sent to stop him." She sighed. "We can't be sure what he looks like anymore, though - or if he is still male, even - so all we can do is ask people if they have noticed anyone unusual lately. You three seem like you would notice something out of the ordinary: have you encountered anyone like that?"
