Dexter's face turned a brighter shade of red upon being given a pat on the back, like he was some kind of scared little child promising no harm would befall him. [color=crimson]"Do not co-"[/color] he stepped back from MacKensie obviously flustered and ready to protest, but he was suddenly distracted by the unmistakable sound of metal-booted footsteps. Yet something else felt familiar about the hulking knight trudging behind them in relative silence, something [i]very[/i] familiar.

[color=crimson][i]'Impossible, that can't be right.'[/i][/color] the boy slowed down his pace significantly and gazed at the knight with curiosity in his eyes [color=crimson][i]'How can it exi-'[/i][/color]

[color=red]"LITTLE ONE, KNOWS."[/color] the voice rang out from beneath it's hood, the Revenant now staring directly at the demon boy as he watched the knight with sudden interest. It also could sense the boy's true nature like he could sense them, however both seemed equally curious of one another. [color=crimson]"I don't know what yo-"[/color] Dexter began to lie but the Revenant cut the little demon off again [color=red]"WE KNOW TOO."[/color] it said walking up to the boy, Dexter was nervous but the knight didn't say anything further about what it knew of him, both in silent agreement to not press the matter any more than either had.

Now the knight seemed less intimidating, both were aware of their true natures and understood that it were no matter to discuss openly at least not [i]yet[/i]. Dexter simply kept his questions to himself yet still he wondered if the entity sharing the body with it's host truly could be trusted. [color=crimson][i]'Well we'll see soon enough, hopefully we don't die before then.'[/i][/color] the boy shrugged and sighed dismissing the thought.

[color=0054a6]"Yes, if it's not the Empire soldiers, it might be small pockets of resistance from peculiar individuals looking to rebel. Well, they're generally just nuisances to her, but if you fellows want to oppose the Witch and doesn't want to serve an aristocratic Empire at the same time."[/color] the stranger Robert had his palms out in a 'be my guest' gesture, it seemed to Dexter he was impartial to their decision from what he said.

Still feeling embarrassed for being a coward Dexter decided to step up and speak first [color=crimson]"I for one think that bitch needs to be knocked down a few pegs, I'll oppose her and fuck serving an aristocracy."[/color] he made his best attempt to look tough by crossing his arms defiantly [color=crimson]"I'll help you mister Robert, I may not look strong but I know how to use my hands and my head."[/color]

He looked like he was about to say something else when an unfamiliar voice spoke up from behind Dexter [color=808080]"I agree with the little guy."[/color] it was the knight but now he sounded less monstrous and more human, he had a soft but serious tone.

[color=808080]"I am at your service."[/color] he removed the shroud from his head revealing his face to be that of a handsome young man's with messy black hair and pale skin, his eyes glowing a soft hue of purple.
