Willow's frown would eventually fade into a soft sigh, his head shaking somewhat at the girl's question. She was quite sweet, and Willow couldn't help but offer her a tender smile fitting such an approach. Indeed, she reminded the boy of his mother, in a way. Calm, collected, and with a heart clearly worn on her sleeve. Hopefully, that manner of innocence wouldn't get her hurt. Willow had seen it happen, before. Now, the speeding orc accelerating his pace out of the kitchen was a relief in and of itself, despite his raid of fresh ingredients. [b][color=e3dac9]"No, it's fine,"[/color][/b] Willow responded, [b][color=e3dac9]"just racial degeneracy at work."[/color][/b] He finished, reaching for another few cloves of onion which he'd proceed to fluidly peel the outer layer from his newly acquired ingredient. 

[color=B89660]"Yes! Say it as it is! Now, beat yourself up over the fact that you LET HIM ESCAPE!"[/color] Blackmore exclaimed, flicking Willow's shoulder. [color=B89660]"He was right there! He touched your chopping block! Burn it, and kill him! Do it, do it, do it, do it!"[/color]

Shutting his eyes for a moment, the boy turned to eventually stare at Blackmore who simply stared back with a grin. [b][color=e3dac9]"It's nice to meet you, Thalia,"[/color][/b] the young sorcerer continued, turning further to meet the female Enuri's face once more. It was then that yet another creature came to visit the kitchen. The room had never gotten this amount of traffic in the past. It was most definitely a first. This lizard, this.., entity, it was quite peculiar. Not only did it look quite odd, but it also spoke in a manner less than civilized. Though, its mention of eating the orc brought an unstifled smirk to Willow's lips. He was unable to contain it, despite backing up against the wooden counter as the creature proceeded to move closer towards him. 

[b][color=e3dac9]"Uhm..,"[/color][/b] the boy eventually blinked in slight confusion. A live animal? Did it want to eat a live animal? This creature was nothing new. Willow had seen similar beings in the past. In fact, he had seen quite a lot, for his age, given his old lifestyle of never-ending travel. Enuri actually considered the species now only inches from his face, as one of their own. He, on the other hand, could not relate to the culture, nor the sentiment. [b][color=e3dac9]"We don't keep live food in here,"[/color][/b] the boy explained, raising one of those slim eyebrows, [b][color=e3dac9]"have you.., tried the market in the city plaza?"[/color][/b] Willow proceeded, [b][color=e3dac9]"or uh.., the forest?"[/color][/b]

[color=B89660]"What are you doing, idiot!? FEED HIM THE ORC!"[/color] Blackmore slipped between the reptile and the Enuri, placing his hands on Willow's shoulders with their noses a mere inch apart. [color=B89660]"We'll make it look like an accident..."[/color] As tempting as it was, the young Enuri mage had to concede to his previous statements.
