-------------------------------------------------------------- [i][b]~~~~~~Agrabah (Desert)-Empire/Trident-Class Warship~~~~~~[/b][/i] The hallway became deathly silent after Dominic’s little outburst and threat, his arm still clutching Caleb in his grip while the floating Birugs ticked and clicked with their gears within their cases, and simply watched and waited with their weapons still out and ready to attack if ordered. The machines bright lenses were tightly focused on the three figures, that was before they suddenly whirled in unison into a more relaxed gaze and slowly began to part and retreat a little further back along the hallway. While the faint ticking of the machines began to grow a little more silent, the new singular but much more constant rhythm of tapping that came afterwards to fill the gap, was definitely a lot more foreboding. The sight of Nomis appearing into view, as he walked rather slowly but still with a slight speed in his step, the rage filled scowl frozen on his face as his eyes immediately caught those of Dominic and Shinto’s, even the faint sound of what could only be described as the faintest of quakes in the surrounding walls with every one of the man’s steps, it was like watching a violent storm that was just about to let loose all at once. “[color=9e0b0f]Very surprising to see you here, Sogeki. Though remembering back then, you always were joined to the hip with Crimson here.[/color]” Said Nomis, coming to a stop when he was no more than a few feet away from the two men, his eyes glancing towards Caleb for a moment before angrily glaring back towards Dominic. “[color=9e0b0f]I will kill you, both of you, if you don’t return my nephew to me. Do, and I might consider allowing you the chance to leave. Better a chance, than what you’ll find if you try to cross me further.[/color]” At the sound of the veiled threat, the floating Birugs began to once more hover into position behind Nomis, their large eyes flaring open as their yet again focused on Dominic and Shinto while their creator looked towards Caleb once more, the grip on his cane growing tighter in response to the anger he had towards the two men.
