Iskah lit up at Vanessa's reply, and nodded with determination. The two monsters then made their way to Aun's position at the edge of town.

The Dark Mage and the Lizardman arrive at their location. Iskah's eyes widened when she saw Aun casually leaning beside the entrance of a building. The building in question appeared to be a sizeable but simple manor of sorts, made of white stone. Two-stories high, windows close to each other indicated this was likely a boarding house or orphanage. Twin doors above a couple of steps served as the entrance, the Incubus Knight being the only soul so far to be seen.

"Aun!" Iskah drew her sword once more. "I challenge you to a duel!"

"[color=lightyellow]Aw, but what about the children?[/color]"

Iskah blinked in confusion. "What children?"

Aun then quickly knocked on the double doors to the building. "[color=lightyellow]Hey, kids! The Lizardman is here![/color]"

A few moments passed before a horde of human children poured out of the building and surrounded Iskah. "Ah! Hey, wait!" The Lizardman was forced to sheath her sword as she tried to address the kids who bombarded her with questions and invitations. "Wait, wait! I really can't--!" The flustered Iskah tried gaining control of the situation, but to no avail. Some of the kids began touching and patting her reptilian tail, completely mesmerized by the monstrous appendage. "H-Hey, that tickles!"

Iskah was completely occupied by the orphans, leaving the Incubus Knight free to stride over to Vanessa and strike up a conversation. "[color=lightyellow]Hey, Madam Dark Mage. Are you free to talk?[/color]" He waved with a cheeky smile. "[color=lightyellow]I'm not gonna do anything untoward, so long as you aren't. I just wanna ask some questions.[/color]"

"[color=lightyellow]I'm the Incubus Knight, by the way. You can call me Inky for short, like how the other knights call me.[/color]" The knight then made a formal bow at Vanessa. "[color=lightyellow]I can kiss the back of your hand if you'd like.[/color]"
