Kistal let Kallen speak, but he also silently and switfly moved past him, into the shop, jumping the counter if need be. He made a beeline towards Nix, kneeling down in front of the girl and offering a hand to her. He looked back at Kallen then at the jar that the creature went into. [color=f26522]"I highly doubt you will get very far with complex explanations. Whatever it is might not even speak our language, let alone have a concept of property like ours. Perhaps figure out something to trade for it. It will get everyone out of this without any harm done."[/color] The satyr then turned his attention back to Nix, a light, almost musical note to his voice, his tone and posture trying to keep her from turning the shop into an ice cube. [color=f26522]"Hey there wolfgirl. I missed you at the inn last night. I gotta teach you a couple things about this town, alright? Also, you hungry? I can make you some breakfast at the inn."[/color] By the time he began his attempt to soothe her, the gem suddenly appearing and then erupting into a lightshow made Kistal bounce forward and wrap his arms around Nix, his first instinct to protect her, her agitation secondary now. His previous calm demeanor split into a vicious snarl, his nose catching a new scent. He had mana to use and prepared to blind everyone around him if he needed to get Nix and himself out. He looked at Kallen, ready to leverage blame depending upon his reaction. Suzune's words and wink got a light laugh out of Chihiro. [color=ec008c]"I won't turn down extras. It will let me pamper her a bit more. I do have a bit of a private question to ask once you get a free moment, though. About Hilde, nothing bad I promise."[/color] She occupied herself helping out Suzune get any materials from the back as she waited her turn. At this point, she knew the inn about as well as anyone given she had been here since before it was even made. Tali perked up suddenly when addressed, causing a bit of jiggle in certain places and a light oh to come from her mouth. [color=92278f]"Oh yeah, that. Well, I didn't get hurt during the attack. I was killed before that. Some...less than savory people came in and decided I had to die. Luckily, I can't. Well, not permanently."[/color] She smiled and straightened up before getting into a strong stretch. [color=92278f]"Had I been able, I would've helped out in the attack. I am quite good in a scrap. Though, waking up after being dead and not getting any good meals has left me very hungry. A couple buns and some coffee or tea would be nice, but it won't do anything about me being hungry, sad to say, Lady Suzune."[/color]
