[h2]Marxello Catchanale[/h2] 'I've fought Dark Elves,' Mark pointed out as he strolled around and looked in the various rooms, blade still hoisted, 'and beings far worse. None have matched up even to my partner Syszi, let alone me.' After a few seconds of thinking about whether the boast was necessary, he sighed, switched his thinking to how the situation might even help him, then explained matter-of-factly 'Look, I'm from Andrale - have you ever heard of Andrale? Nice place, sadly borders a Demon Realm. We have treaties for keeping that situation stable. Anyway, we have spells there, spells that basically provide monsters with benefits as far as their interactions with humans go, and the owner of this guild heard about that and asked for somebody from the kingdom to join the guild. That would be me, and the Salamander I'm- ...who I fight alongside. We fight alongside each other. 'So, you can take it as a promise that I do not intend to kill you, or physically maim you, or anything like that,' he concluded. 'That said, I do need you to come out, because there are... well, it's not exactly "your place" to roost in, unless you also happen to be a guild member. And, you know, maybe I can give you that benefit I mentioned, about interacting with humans, if you'd like it.' And if she did want that, well, maybe he'd be able to make his first in-roads to cleansing this part of the world of its corruption. It'd at least be useful, that was for sure.
