Watching the young boy speaking the older woman, Nilos felt bad interrupting but being that this boy looks less threatening, he took a chance as the boy turned to look at him and Nilos looked back down with a nervous look in his eyes but a gentle smile wearing on his face. Looking over at the older woman quickly gather her things, his attention was brought back to the young fellow going by the name of Saghira. He seemed quite friendly and talkative. he obviously looked like he lived in the town the way he was dressed and what Nilos just noticed with the sharpened teeth and black claws he sported....almost like a kitten in Nilos eyes. Poor looking, dressed in rags, he wondered why such a child would not be well taken cared of. 

Introducing himself and trying to introduce the lady that dipped out on him, Nilos quietly chuckled from the funny scene before speaking up. "It's a pleasure to meet you Saghira. That lady must've been in a rush. " he smiled "I-I'm Nilos...." he said with a slight bow. "Are you from this town?" he asked even though he didn't have to ask something obvious. "I just arrived today and I...um....well I was uh..wondering..I-If y-you could...sh-show me...around?" he said twiddling his index fingers feeling bashful about asking someone for help, not knowing what the boy would say.

Oh! he must've hit a nerve. Bala watched the man respond with a hint of anger and really, Bala didn't find him threatening but amusing. Hiding his amusement by his reaction, Bala raised an eyebrow and placed his palms up as they faced Rorack. he was going to have to approach him differently now. "Whoa whoa now, I didn't mean any harm or disrespect by that. It's just, looking at your tail...it looks like that of a dragon's and was just guessing. Plus I've never seen you here before....." he looked him up and down and placed his hands in his pocket as there was something strapped to the boy's back that looked like a stick. "I'm Bala...I'm a resident here...I'm sorry about my attitude earlier...I've just dealt with some nasty people and they sort of rubbed off on me. They think just because I look feminine, they could just treat me any way..." he said. 

[i]"Okay..hopefully this should calm him but....his reaction. Why would a noble or pure blood be worried about someone knowing their status? usually they are proud of their status and would not hesitate to remind people of who and what they are...they wouldn't even look at me in the eyes and would basically demand things...almost like he did but he just wanted to know my name and his speech...he didn't sound like he was from the streets like me. he sounded plenty educated. So....the thing I'm concluding is, he's trying to hide his status so to not be treated like one...as if he's bored of that life, or he's hiding from someone by not making himself known, or...he's just upset that a slave class like me figured him out already and talked to him like I did."[/i] he thought to himself trying to read Rorack's expression
