Within seconds all sounds of nature within the surrounding area went silent save for the words of the two brothers going on with their brotherly banter and teasing in thanks to Ulyses and his bothersome goading. Time ticked away as the guardian they poked fun at maintained said pose, seeming to be in deep thought or possibly have fallen asleep. ( a foolish thought around this wolf) Just then, Menzai's eyes open and what followed was an intensely sharp gaze hinted with a crimson glint. The unprepared brothers in the midst of their jest would suddenly feel an immense wave of bone chilling bloodlust aimed at them as birds, squirrels and other small critters scattering and taking flight out of fear. And for those few seconds Menzai unleashed such concentrated bloodlust that the humans thought they could see or envious a massive snarling wolf erupting around their *widdle* guardian, his ominous aura given form. Then it was over, in a blink of the eye. The ominous bloodlust dissipating as his harsh expression softened once more and frayed ears relaxing and with it, nature released its breath returning life and activity aplomb around them. His arms previously folded within the sleeves of his haori dropped down to his side though before saying anything or explaining, the silent wolf turned his head, peering over his shoulder to peer off in the direction he heard the departing flaps of a certain fairy.*[color=ec008c] I am thankful she left though I do worry where she flew off to.[/color]* Concern creased his forehead as he stared off after Phia; appearing as if he might run off after her, but then his head turned back towards the brothers. Deciding to trust Phia to be able to handle herself as while she could not fight, both he and Ulyses have taught her all she needed for survival. And long as she made sure to not leave the vicinity of the forest or venture into the mist she should be fine, plus now the risk of her intruding and disrupting the training session was moot to his relief. Still, Menzai could not help but constantly worry for the sweet fairy and so put such thoughts to the back of his mind for the time being. With his worries settled, Menzai took a single step towards Dante and Darius, observing their reactions closely as he did so."[color=bc8dbf] What you humans have just felt is true, uncurdled bloodlust. Can either of one of you two explain the purpose of the demonstration that I have just displayed?[/color]" He asked while motioning towards them with his right hand where, at that moment a vibrating buzz could be felt against his wrist, the translator clasping his wrist indicating a call. " [color=a187be]Apologies. A moment.[/color]" Said with a somewhat annoyed sigh as he turned his back to them to answer the call. A hologram of this Drosis soon formed upon pressing the button. [i]”[color=darkblue]All channels, this is Captain Morr speaking. The Saltrunner has just made landing in Port Vanarosa, in line with schedule. We are unloading cargo, and will depart for River Port one week from today.[/color]” He leaned back in his chair, fidgeting with a “souvenir” he never put with the rest- A warforged’s eye that he shot out of the machine’s head with a light blast. ”[color=darkblue]I’ve trust our Chosen One with one of my more dependable hands. He’ll teach the boy to keep his head down, sparks and all.[/color]” Everyone beneath the age of 200 was either “boy” or “kid” to the Captain in some capacity. He was over 600, he had a right to call people that. ”[color=darkblue]We expect little trouble, so long as Ismael doesn’t cause a scene. Should that happen, we will confine him to the lower deck until further notice. That is all. Morr out.[/color]”[/i] Menzai listened quietly as he watched the hologram speak with a status report, their current location and what their plans were. A look of uneased etched his face as he studied this Drosis. Thinking back to the day the humans arrived and how unsatisfied he was with the idea of any humans being under the care and influence of pirates. To leave humans with such shady and..unpleasant ilk, but that wasn't to say there weren't pirates that were good or at the very least a somewhat decent moral code. If this Drosis had been invited for such opportunity then... Still, while he did not agree with the notion he knew it was not his place to speak. As there was little else he could do, Menzai could only hope the other humans were doing well and safe. They may have been brought here to help save the land (albeit with no choice) but as the ones responsible for bringing them to this world it stood to reason that their safety was of utmost importance. A difficult task Menzai intended to take to heart and as he turned to face the brothers after dispensing with the bracelet, peering at Dante and Darius; weak humans who lacked the capabilities to defend themselves in these unknown lands or the full understanding of the dangers that waited for them, lurking just outside these woods. Two bumbling brothers who seemed to enjoy goofing around, especially with each other. Weak, clueless and simpleminded and lacking proper teamwork; all of which Menzai was dedicated to changing. What the pair lacked, however, they made up for with their enthusiasm and heart. Taking all these factors into consideration, he decided the best approach was through patience and taking things step by step. Already their lesson had started and with the added time to think thanks to the call, Menzai would motion towards them once more." [color=bc8dbf]With the time given, I have hope that each of you has gleaned the answer?[/color]" [/color]
