Korvash was quick to voice his opinion. According to him, Ayita wasn't supposed to be on Avalia, the obvious fear he had that the 'lich' found and killed them seemed to be enough for him to just resort to kill her on the spot to avoid possible trouble. While not as... simple minded and straight forward as his brutish, dumb green friend, it became clear to Ayita that Inori had thought about it, judging by his thoughtful expression and the tone on his voice. He did seem to be the type of person who didn't care about anything [i]but[/i] himself. Whimsical and prone to sudden change of heart. Overall, someone whom Ayita definitely couldn't trust completely... That said, despite all that, he still provided Ayita with some more information about said 'lich'. According to Inori's words, the lich's name was Aklenroth, proceeding to give a number of aliases he was known by. Apparently, he was aiming for complete control over Avalia, a tyranical ruler, drunk with power. By some weird reason, humans were his main focus, judging by how alarmed the giant Korvash was when he saw her. While Ayita was indeed grateful for the information, she still thought it was rather dangerous to be around someone like Inori... and by extension, Korvash too. Surprisingly enough, for reasons yet unknown for Ayita, Inori said that they would help her with a rather unsettling grin, despite his giant green friend quite obviously disagreeing with his decision. It was no secret for both Korvash and Inori that Ayita didn't trust them not even one bit. It was already clear by the way she looked at them, but the second she heard Korvash's words and he pointed his finger at her, Ayita's stare became a piercing, stone cold one. While she indeed was in need of help, she simply couldn't shake off the feeling that Inori was either using her or had other reasons for helping her, other than just having met a 'fair maiden'. [color=ed1c24]"I see... Thank you for your help."[/color] Ayita said, analyzing both of them. Before she could ask more questions, Cade further developed on Inori's explanation, filling the holes he had left. According to him, this lich, Aklenroth, feared humans because they were supposed to have a power that not even he could have. Such words were strange to Ayita, since for her, she was a simple human. As far as she knew humans had no special powers... at least not on her world... When he mentioned his price for helping her being a simple story from her world, she couldn't help but let out a smile appear on her face. Unlike Inori, she could feel that Cade was much more trustworthy. His honesty and the fact that she somehow could feel some type of 'connection' to him made her find it easier to trust the cat man. [color=ed1c24]"I may not know anything about Avalia, but I do have many stories about my world to tell those who are interested about them."[/color] she said, with a discreet smile. [color=ed1c24]"Just one more thing... You said humans are feared by this lich called Aklenroth, for the 'power' they have... What exactly is this power?"[/color] Ayita asked, clearly still a bit confused about the whole situation. Despite her confusion though, she seemed to be absorbing everything remarkably well, without any resistance for things such as the magic Inori was casting or even the clearly non-human creatures talking to her right now.
