Morthos was happy to let Jax do all the talking, he could definitely stand around and just look a bit menacing. When all was said and done Morthos just decided to let Jax's little joke about her boobs go, though he was sure under the shirt her girls were indeed very nice. She mentioned the library and cross referencing information, that was much more up his alley. "Ya, we could definitely find a map at the library and try to see what's up. Although we should probably see what the Hunting Legion knows first, the more information we have the more useful the library will be."

They got to the building and it was somewhat shabby but also rather intimidating looking. Jax informed Morthos, "you're doing the talking this time." He gave her a look and she gave him one right back, "don't look at me like that, I did all the work at the butcher. Besides, I'm trying to make you almost like a normal person, so talk." She gave him a quick peck on the lips and a shove towards the doors.

"Ya, thanks," Morthos said, laying on the sarcasm real thick. They entered the building, and Morthos wasn't sure what to expect. What he was greeted with was basically a tavern. Some of the patrons were giving him the stink eye, clearly they didn't like him. If that was because he was a tiefling or just because he was an outsider he was unsure. He walked up to the bartender and asked, "hi, excuse me, who would I talk to to find out what you guys know about the werewolves terrorizing your town?" The bartender didn't turn around from what he was doing, just replied with a "what's it to ya?" Great, they clearly did not want to help.

Morthos just took a breath and stayed calm, "you see, my friends and I, we're here to help out. We've been hired by the town," the bartender did not respond, instead Morthos heard someone shout at him from across the bar, "OI! Devil boy!" Morthos really did not like being called devil boy unless it was clear the person was being friendly and a bit jokey. Morthos turned to the man, "yes?"

He was with a group at a table, people of all sorts, seemed the Legion was pretty inclusive, at least if you were from town. "Ya, you wanna know 'bout them wolves, ye?"

"Yes, we want to help get rid of the wolves, do you know something that could help?" Morthos was starting to lose his patience for these people, it didn't help they were all clearly drunk.

"Yeah, I know about 'em," the man got up and he was much taller than Morthos had expected. "Where was that stuff, oh ya, right here," at which point he pulled his hand out of his pocket and gave Morthos the finger. All his friends thought it was hilarious, Morthos did not, and the guy could tell. "Oh come off it then, how about you leave so I can get to know your girlfriend then, eh?"

He started reaching his hand towards Jax but Morthos moved faster than he even thought he could, "you will not lay any of your greasy fingers on her."

The man just laughed and looked back to his friends, "you hear that? Devil boy is jealous of me."

Morthos was done playing nice, "call me devil boy one more time, see what happens," Morthos growled at the man.

The man bent down so his face was right in Morthos' and said, "You. Are. A. Devil..."

He couldn't finish he sentence as Morthos burst in to flames and singed his eyebrows off. He jumped back and Morthos slowly rose in to the air, his voice echoing. "I am Morthos Xerxes, noble of House Xerxes. Descended from the House of Ice and Fire, House Zolfura, from the once great nation of Bael Turath. I will no longer play your games," out of the corner of his eye he saw the bartender with a folder, he seemed less shaken than everyone else but still scared.

"This is what we have, take it," he left the folder on the table and stepped back.

Morthos floated back to the ground and extinguished his flames, "remember this next time you disrespect someone just trying to help." He grabbed the folder in one hand, Jax's hand in the other, and walked out of the building. They rounded a corner and Morthos leaned against a wall collapsing to the ground, head in his hands, ashamed at himself. "I'm so sorry you had to see that."

"Ya, nice look man," Morthos said to Roxas, once again ignoring the fact that he was talking to himself. Before he found his god Morthos used to hear the voice of the evil god Asmodeus, maybe Roxas had a similar problem. They headed down to the lobby and while the girls were giving Roxas googly eyes they were giving Morthos the stink eye. He was used to it, people generally didn't like looking at him, whatever. He had at least one girl who didn't mind looking at him, and he gave Jax a smile as they met up in the lobby.

He agreed that the food sounded good and once they were all done he was glad Jax knew the best place to eat, as she should since she grew up here. Jax laid out her plan for them splitting up, this time the couples would be teaming up, Roxas and Ophelia in the woods looking for tracks and whatnot, Morthos and Jax in town talking to people. While he wasn't too keen on that particular activity he was happy to do it if it was with Jax. "That sounds like a plan, you know I love the library, I'll try not to be too weird while you work your magic talking to the townsfolk."

"Oh I know Roxas and I are both loners, I bet we could share a house and never see each other, and it'd be beautiful," he leaned in as she kissed him, and he heard the moan she let out. He wondered if she kissed all the other guys like that? It seemed a bit more intense than just a flirty kiss between friends with benefits. "Ya, see you," he said, slightly winded himself.

He headed up to his room and found Roxas didn't have the lights on. There was some music playing and...was Roxas talking to someone? He couldn't really make out what was being said but that was definitely Roxas talking. Morthos turned on a light and knocked on the door, "hey Roxas, you okay in there? We're probably gonna go grab lunch once you're out so don't be too long." Morthos wouldn't bring up the talking unless he did. He was sure it was nothing, sometimes Morthos talked to himself when he was thinking about something, Roxas was probably just doing the same thing.

Morthos took his bag and threw it on the bed further from the window and closer to the door, sitting down the bed seemed comfy enough. At least it wasn't as stiff as a board. He would just hang out in the room until Roxas was done, then they could eat and possibly get to work on the werewolf problem.

Morthos just scoffed and made no comment on the weights, instead just making his way in to the carriage. Lucky for him the horses only seemed slightly wary and were fine once he was out of their sight. They got to the hotel and Jax said there was only two rooms, Morthos thought the obvious thing would be to let the couple stay together. Clearly she had some other plans, and as Roxas made his way upstairs Morthos said to Jax, "what, don't wanna room with me? That hurts Jax, really, I thought we had something," he was being overly dramatic and was mostly joking, but he did wish he was sharing a room with Jax rather than Roxas.

"Anyways, after Roxas gets himself cleaned up what should we do? It's only mid afternoon, we have the rest of the day ahead of us." Food would probably be Morthos' first choice, he was starting to get hungry. Obviously they'd have to see the girls' parents, but he wasn't sure when that would be. He supposed it probably depended on how long this werewolf thing took to solve.

At first Morthos was a little annoyed that Jax was laying on Roxas as she slept instead of him. But after seeing how she slept he was glad that wasn't him. Instead Morthos spent his time on the train reading up on werewolves, he was fairly familiar with most monsters but it could never hurt to refresh his knowledge. Werewolves were weak to silver, so silvered weapons were the best thing to use. They were also quite fearful of fire, how convenient, Morthos thought to himself. Of course there were other ways to kill them, without silver or fire, brute force was always an option. After all, doesn't matter how strong you are, without a head you're done. Unless you're a hydra I suppose, Morthos mused as he put his laptop away and just enjoyed the scenery. He could have swore he saw a unicorn, but he thought they'd all gone extinct centuries ago.

Other than the possible unicorn there was nothing too interesting about the ride and it was nice to get some fresh air when they arrived at their destination. The girls went off on their own, Morthos assumed to find them transportation to where they were staying, and Roxas went off to get changed. Morthos grabbed his bag and Jax's, which was clearly a mistake as he nearly threw his back out thinking Jax's bag would be light. "By the nine hells, what does she have in here, rocks?" Morthos took a minute to perform a ritual, Tensor's Floating Disc, so instead of carrying Jax's bag he basically just pushed it around, much easier.

Roxas came up and started a conversation, asking if this was Morthos' first rodeo. "Nah, I've done missions before," he told Roxas, "nothing with a team, just some solo things. Haven't made my way out this way before though," Riverwood seemed like a quaint little town. They were still along the water so the familiar smell of the ocean was still there, but the town wasn't exactly at sea level, making the ocean seem like it was much further away than it was. They guys caught up with the sisters and Jax announced she had arraigned a carriage to take them in to town. "Hopefully that works out okay," Morthos said, "is this like a horse drawn carriage? Because sometimes animals don't take kindly to me. Also, unrelated, what in the holy name of the gods did you pack? Your bag weighs a ton, it was easier for me to do a ritual than carry it."

Morthos could definitely get used to random kisses from Jax, maybe this relationship but not really thing they had going would work out just fine. "Well, you know, you deserve it, plus you can't be having sub-par equipment if we're going to be fighting together." Morthos said to her, "besides, I never really get to splurge on stuff like that, my magic is mostly based on my own ability and not implement." Morthos was wearing his new standard outfit of jeans, t-shirt, and leather jacket, along with his staff.

Jax said the mission was in their hometown, "cool, train is fine with me, gives us time to see the sights, think about how to take down these werewolves." Thinking about it, Morthos wasn't sure how Jax would introduce him. Boyfriend? Teammate? Whatever, he'd go along with whatever she said. "Oh right, while I was at home I figured out something I've been meaning to work out for a while." He snapped his fingers and spun around, then suddenly he was wearing his cloak, with the potions and everything that he may want to use. "Summoned armour baby, usually for someone wearing heavy plate armour but works just fine for me too." With another snap and spin he was back to his normal clothes, "so when's the next train? And will I have to be the one financing our first adventure until we get our big payday for this one?" He was half joking, but he didn't mind using his money to make sure everything was good for their first few runs as a team.

"Break it up? It was just getting to the good part," Morthos jokingly complained as the other two came downstairs. Jax got off him and he sat up and ate his food, it was a little cold for his liking but a quick snap of his fingers fixed that problem. "Well I normally don't drink, so I won't be swearing off drinking since it's not usually penciled in to my schedule." He put his plate down and was going to take it to the sink when Ophelia came by and collected it along with Jax's, she was like the mom of the group, "thanks Ophelia."

Jax brought up being a team, and the fact Morthos would probably want to be with her. "Well, there's that, and also you guys are my only friends, you seem to keep forgetting up until a few days ago I was basically a hermit." She called over Ophelia and gave them a rousing speech about how much she loved SPA and wanted to be the strongest. When she was done Morthos stood up and put his hand on top of hers, "I'm in, honestly I don't think I'd rather be on a team with anyone other than you guys, it'll be great spending so much time with you all." He used his free hand to reach around and pinch Jax's ass, giving her a cheeky wink in the process. If they were gonna do this he'd be as flirty as he wanted, regardless of company.

"I..." Morthos took a deep breath. On top of being distracted by Jax and still being a bit drunk from the night before, he wanted to choose his words carefully. He had no clue if he could handle this type of relationship, he'd never even been in a normal relationship before, never mind one with all the stipulations of no feelings. Jax already knew he had feelings for her, so what was he supposed to do with those? It's not like he could throw them away. On the other hand, this was probably the best he would get out of Jax for now, and if she wasn't going to see anyone else it would kind of be like a normal relationship.

"I promise," Morthos spoke slowly, intentionally, he wanted to make sure he said this the right now, "I will not act like a crazy ex should we decide to end this. We will still be friends, nothing will be awkward," he made sure not to mention not catching feelings. He'd already caught feelings, but hopefully that was acceptable for Jax. "Now, would you mind getting off me? I'm feeling hungry now and the very nice breakfast your sister made is getting cold." He raised and eyebrow at her, "or are you gonna be naughty and I'll have to make you?"

"I vaguely remember you tackling Uma," Morthos muttered before Jax continued on with her apology. Ophelia brought some food, that was nice of her, "thanks Ophelia," Morthos called as she walked back upstairs. He'd grab the food momentarily, right now he just wanted to keep laying down, Then Jax was on top of him, quite literally, offering him what sounded like a relationship but she didn't wanna call it that.

"Yes, yes that's fine, uh, you do me, FUCK, you. I mean, not fuck you, I mean fuck me, uhhh I mean...." Morthos stammered a moment before giving up. it had happened, his red skin had somehow become redder as he blushed probably for the first time in his life. "I'm still kinda messed up from last night, you know what I mean, right?" He was sure Jax would be a good sport but gods that was a rocky start to their relationship but not a relationship. "So, you said no kissing or touching other guys, does that mean we will be doing those things?" He wasn't exactly sure what Jax had in mind, just that she had clearly made up her mind that she felt something for Morthos.
