While Lusius left his home, he caught sight of the familiar face of the Inquisitor. Of course he knew somebody was on his tail, but given who he'd been talking to and how he wasn't attacked nor was he approached during his trek it wasn't hard to guess by who. Regardless of who it was he continued on his woodcutting path, taking his ax and swinging away to create more firewood. Meanwhile she saw fit to speak to him, lecture him, and of course ask to see if he was enthralled by the dragon woman. Being said Lusius could understand why. One of the favorite tricks of witches was to seduce, beguile, and of course make thralls out of others to enslave them.

[color=red]"I knew you were there. I just didn't care that you were following me. Thank you for your compliment of my home, I worked hard to build it."[/color] Said Lusius, answering her first bit before she said her rest. [color=red]"Are you're right it would make the perfect hiding spot. That's why I picked it so far out of town. I wouldn't want to hurt anybody by accident."[/color]

At this stage Phoebe started to berate Shai's type and again Lusius understood. Her kind, the magical and monstrous kind were a threat to humanity and their way of life. That's why there were hunters, that's why Lusius WAS a hunter. [color=red]"I understand, I don't trust her either. I'm clearly not as fervent as you, but I disagree with it's existence bringing more harm. At least in the immediate future. Nor will I promise that she will be gone. She has something I want and I intend to get it."[/color]

That was when her big question came out, 'are you corrupted.' Of course he knew it was coming. After all it was only natural, he probably acted like he was aligned to the dragon girl, even if he wasn't. [color=red]"I assure you I am under my own mind."[/color] Lusius started, assuring Phoebe that he was unaffected by Shai. But when she was done talking he continued, pulling his ax up high and sinking it into the stump, planting it firmly. At that stage he left the ax behind and approached Phoebe, rolling up his left sleeve to reveal his pure silver bracer that was locked onto his forearm. [color=red]"Do you want to know why I wear this?"[/color] He asked, though his question was almost rhetorical as he just continued to say, [color=red]"I wear it to keep me and everyone around me save, but also to remind me who the real monsters are. That there are creatures in this world that must be destroyed lest what happened to my home happen to other's homes. I am not turned. I am a hunter in the service of mankind, wishing to see the monsters of our world gone so that humanity, pure humanity, can finally live in peace. I hope that's enough to convince you I'm on your side. I don't want to make an enemy of you, we're fighting the same battle after all."[/color] From there Lusius turned away from Phoebe and picked the ax back up, yanking it free from the stump and placing another piece of fire wood on teh stump to spilt.
