[color=6ecff6][b][h3]Terneus Andros[/h3][/b][/color] It was with determined steps that Terneus began to stroll away from the gathering of dark elves, his entourage of knights accompanying him. Some of them disgruntled from both seeing and having to listen to a dark elf. [color=7bcdc8]"My lord, pardon my insolence. But why did you not take the dark elf up on his offer? You would have surely been able to-"[/color] The elven knight was intercepted by a swift slap across the face, sending his face slightly to the side. His lord had a peculiar way to show his approval and disappointment in others for certain. [b][color=6ecff6]"Ofcourse I would. The winner of such a mundane contest would have been won by me, to the point that he would consider moving back to his..."[/color][/b] The light elf took a moment to put in an amused chuckle. [b][color=6ecff6]"Home."[/color][/b] He said with a slight grin on his face. [b][color=6ecff6]"But accepting a spar like that could imply that he would stand a chance. I couldn't possibly live with anyone making such a conclusion, that would put -him- on an equal footing as -me-."[/color][/b] He began to wave his mirror to fan his face, as his attention fell on Commander Feldrin. [b][color=6ecff6]"Besides I have a very important mission, I cannot allow myself to be stopped by mere insects. At such times you will have to step over them, or swat them. Though my preferance is to simply ignore them. For they are insects."[/color][/b] Terneus reached up his hand and grabbed Feldrin's cheek with two fingers, pulling abit and then letting go. [b][color=6ecff6]"Now we are going to find any and all possible leads to any humans in the city. If you find them, you will be rewarded handsomely. I am a generous man."[/color][/b] Terneus gave a soft smile, and put his free hand at his waist as he began to walk along the street leading towards the marketplace. [b][color=8882be][h3]Zelginn[/h3][/color][/b] He had waited patiently to see how the people around him would have taken to his short little accusation to put the blame on the blonde elf. For a moment the female elf seemed to have taken the bait, but alas it was not the case. She had seen through his guise fully and completely. The small figure lowered his ears as he realized he had been caught, and not only that but the woman was a skilled liar herself. It's either that or she told a lie right there. The boy perked his ears up, lowering his guard briefly and then felt as life- no his band of sausages was being stolen! The elf woman had seized his dinner-to-be, after all the trouble he had gone through to liberate it from their prison. [b][color=8882be]"Hey!"[/color][/b] He yelled out as he felt them slip out of his safe embrace, the various meaty sausages were drawn away like a terrible nightmare. He began to reach out to try and stop it, but alas they were already out of his reach. [b][color=8882be]"I-I took those! Uh.. for safekeeping! In a c-certain kind of way! I got scared, you remind me of my mother. Oh she can really get scary..."[/color][/b] The small figure frowned for a moment, fumbling his clawed fingers together. His eyes and face beamed up at the chance of having his new belongings return to him, all he had to do was to tell them his name and what he was doing there. That was something he indeed could do. It was alot better than being turned in, so that the dark elf he had previously relieved of his coin would get payback. [b][color=8882be]"Ermm.. I'm Zelginn, I didn't really break in! The chimney was open! Uhm... I am a pillag- pilgrim... uh.. of homes. I go and visit all the homes of the city and sometimes I get hungry when doing so..."[/color][/b] Zelginn proceeded by kicking the floor abit with his sot ridden feet, as if embarassed of the fact. [b][color=8882be]"I guess I was curious... and hungry..."[/color][/b] He said in a low mumble, looking up at Kenia and then to Malachi. [b][color=8882be]"Sorry"[/color][/b] He said in a hushed manner to Malachi, one of his hands raised up to his mouth as he did. [b][color=8882be]"Uh... what's with these two? They look and smell really weird..."[/color][/b] He wrinkled his nose and narrowed his eyes to stare abit in uncertainty to Rei and Corvina. [b][color=8882be]"Oh oh! I know! I can make up for my... ahem! Rude intrusion.. I'll do anything! For sure! I swear on my tail!"[/color][/b] He nodded very quickly, after making a snapping sound with his fingers, his attention at Kenia. [b][color=fff79a][h3]Baraian Paladice[/h3][/color][/b] [b][color=fff79a]"I am pleased to hear so, only together can we accomplish the greatness needed to save this world. Will you play that lyre of yours someday with a tune of victory? I certainly hope so. I hope the coming war will be the last war ever fought in Avalia. You have much wisdom, Ilan."[/color][/b] The dark elf attempted to pat the faun on the shoulder as they began to walk towards the tent where Kuroi had decided to stay. Baraian had not interacted much with him after their arrival, but it seemed so far as if he was not an enemy of Ra Monde or the rebellion. This allowed Baraian to breathe out abit in relief. [b][color=fff79a]"It would appear Kuroi has left for the surface, perhaps alongside our new leader. That is fine, she should have someone with her at all times until she has gotten more familiar with the city itself. In my own case, I've lived here for most of my life. The homeland for us dark elves. Dakka. It never felt like home to me. The cruelty of my fellow kind, family or otherwise. The strong ruling over the weak. An endless spiral of suffering and death. A terrible place."[/color][/b] Baraian said in his usual monotone manner of voice, he clasped both his hands together before him as he walked alongside Ilan. [b][color=fff79a]"We should also head up then, I also believe there may be more humans about. The marketplace is a good location to find people. As all people have to eat, they would eventually have to go there. So that is where we should begin to look. Perhaps you can attract them with some of your music? The world would have been a much kinder place if there were more like you around. Who could play such beautiful tunes."[/color][/b] The dark elf nodded softly and began to move towards the stairs leading up from Ra Monde, ready to open and seal the entrance after they would leave. Then set out towards the marketplace in search for any leads. [i][color=fff79a]'It's a shame the world isn't as kind as the songs you sing, Ilan. Then I wouldn't have to do, what I must do.'[/color][/i] The dark elf thought to himself.
