Taking a deep breath he waited for Nick to finish his thoughts. Donovan stared at the symbol on the man's robes; it was similar to the tattoos lining the skin of the lass who'd caught his attention earlier, but he lacked any pouches that might contain whatever it was the girl had hidden as she exited the woods. [color=lightgreen]"[i]Kyrnith, tha Elder beast, not ah god.[/i]"[/color] he gently corrected Nick, before his tone took dire turn as he locked eyes with the Chief himself, [color=lightgreen]"Enli."[/color] his eyes bored into those of the man before him, searching his eyes for even the slightest hint of deception, [color=lightgreen]"Do ya truleh care fer yer people?"[/color] he spoke, pausing to allow the gravity of the question sink into the man's bones [color=lightgreen]"Enuff tah give up on whatever th' Illuminator es schemin?
