Upon hearing how the duo was acquainted with Vaeril, Darius raised an eyebrow. He was surprised at how charitable Vaeril had been, but also found it strange... at least at first.

[Color=Mediumpurple][i]Weird…[/i][/color]

[Color=silver][i]You would be wise not to doubt him![/i][/color]

Malgormuun snapped yet he himself was perplexed by Aklenroth's current actions. What scheme could be worth lowering oneself to such a degree? That was something Malgormuun could not understand just yet. In the meantime, he would watch events play out and keep Darius on course… The latter proved to be a bit difficult recently.

[Color=mediumpurple]"Wow… Vaeril are you really attempting to make friends for once."[/color] He teased just before the green-haired elf introduced himself

[Color=lime]“Nice to meet you, Orland, I’m Frodo"[/color]

[Color=mediumpurple]"Wait what?! Frodo?"[/color] Darius gave Leon a long flabbergasted stare, completely distracted from the following comments about his instrument. He thought he had been a bit on the nose by naming himself after an elf from Tolkien's lore, but what were the chances? What were the chances he would run into someone named Frodo? Then it dawned on him. Everything made sense. Aklenroth behaving so friendly as Vaeril, despite being so detached towards the group they had temporarily traveled with. These really weird elves. No hint of being assholes at all! And lastly, the name, Frodo. Vaeril had found humans… but was that a good thing?

[Color=mediumpurple]"Sorry for the stare, I just recognize that name... from somewhere..."[/color] He feigned like he was trying to remember by scratching his head with a squint. [color=mediumpurple]"Maybe I'll remember over drinks with you all"[/color] He smiled warmly as he agreed with Nur when it came to joining them in shopping. [Color=mediumpurple]"Or I'll forget! Either works."[/color]

It was then as they were moving to leave the shop that he watched Nur lock her arm with Leon's. The very thing she had been doing with him most of the afternoon. Despite not knowing her long, Darius couldn't help but wear a hint of betrayal on his face. 

[Color=mediumpurple][i]We were just having fun. Yeah.[/i][/color]

[Color=darkgray][i]It is her nature, Darius. Do not let her distract you. You will never inherit my strength if you behave so weakly.[/i][/color] 

Darius ignored him and postioned himself with Vaeril and Lucia,remembering her previous question. He strummed his string instrument.

[Color=mediumpurple]"I know Vaeril through a few circles of other elves. But he is also quite the face in Avalia. Even has a song about how awesome he is. Right?"[/color] Darius grinned at Aklenroth who was not prepared as Darius started to strum a simple rhythm....

[I][Color=mediumpurple]"Gosh, it disturbs me to see you, Vaeril
Looking so down in the dumps
Every guy here'd love to be you, Vaeril
Even when taking your lumps
There's no elf in town as admired as you
You're everyone's favorite guy
Everyone's awed and inspired by you
And it's not very hard to see why!"

"No one's slick as Vaeril
No one's quick as Vaeril
No one's neck's as incredibly thick as Vaeril
For there's no elf in town half as manly!
Perfect, a pure paragon!
You can ask any Tom, Dick or Stanley
And they'll tell you whose team they prefer to be on!"[/color][/i]
