He was getting a response from the Owl Mage.  Great!  Challenge aside, he'd like to get to know her better.  An intellectual and a beauty.  It was only natural.  Maybe he could finally convince those at the Guild that he wasn't such a kid.  That quickly changed when the lich gave him a rather suspicious look, and to call it piercing didn't do it justice.

The sudden distance they crossed made a gulp catch in his throat.  His face immediately flushed at the sudden violation to his personal space by two pairs of intense eyes.  He even needed to take a step back, but refusing to back down, though he did raise his hands in a defensive reaction.  The Owl mage continued to speak, but those 'Evil Eyes' really did seem to reach into his soul... and make his heart thump.

Then the lich responded... It felt accusatory at first but then she kind of made it the challenge, and then about herself.  As she trailed off, Ozzy kind of did the same, his fingers and feathers going to his chin.  [color=gold]"You know, that isn't exactly a bad quiz question."[/color]  How often would you come across a male monster, and trying to figure it out by question alone sounded oddly fun.

The comment 'little' conked him out of it.  He was taller then the Lich, but slightly shorter then the Owl Mage, still he was eighteen years old dangit!  He smiled back, using his hands to emphasize.  [color=gold]"Nope.  No magic."[/color]  He felt oddly special and needing to show off just a bit.  It was basically a quirk of birth but a little flair couldn't hurt.  His posture seemed composed as he explained. [color=gold]"My name is Ozmodius Skyway, but you can call me Ozzy, if you like.  And you are looking at, a one in a genetic million, a male monster.  A male Owl Harpy to be specific.  Traveling Sociologist and Member of the Guild."[/color]  He smiled proudly, though his cheeks still showed a hint of rose, he tried to smile through the nervousness.

He gave them a moment to let that bombshell sink in, but he intended to follow up with praising them.  A lich and an owl mage.  He had never met either representative.  And both of them seemed to eager to learn.  Maybe he found some kindred spirits.  [Color=gold]"And how lucky I am to meet an Owl Mage and a Lich.  I never had the pleasure.  Could I ask the same?"[/color]  he offered a hand to them in greeting.  Intellectual to intellectual.
