Korrigan 'Korrey' Umbraisis


Korrey didn't really seem bothered as the red head insulted him to his face, looking a tad moreof confused by her choice of word than anything else. Festus, on the other hand, disliked the casual insult sling at her master, and proceeded to rear herself up, letting out a menacing hiss. . . until Korrey flicked her on the snout. Shocked by the action,the snake drew back with another, more surprised hiss, shaking it's head in a rather unsnake-like fashion. "Festus, I've already told you to stop hissing at strangers, it's rude. And what's with you raising your self up like a hydra? You're a constrictor, not a viper, nor a monsterous snake that breathes fire. Thus, you have no business doing any of that kind of posturing." Festus, looking as ashamed as a snake was capable, lowered her head, her tongue flicking out in a depressive manner before she slithered back into his backpack, maneuvering her tail to curl around the custom-made loop on the inside and zip it closed from the inside. *sigh* And now she's sulking, and I don't have Vulcan's dumb little face to cheer her up right now. Ugh, I'll deal with this after the ceremony. She'll probably be in a better mood by then.

By this time, he'd turned his attention back to the scene at hand, only to notice that the number of people he had been talking to had nearly tripled. Before he could get a proper grasp on what was being said and who was who, he found himself getting asked a barrage of questions by the blonde girl he'd initially been trying to help in regards to his attire. Korrigan was nothing if not adaptable, however, and quickly caught back up with the convo, taking a bit of time to address each party, taking their level of interest in his responses in accordingly, starting with the newly named Felicity and the person she'd been waiting for, her twin brother Monty. He quickly put together the look the brother was giving him and how Felicity had been scolding someone while he'd been doing the same to Festus, figuing out what likely happened while he'd been focusing on his snake.

"Ah, don't be too harsh on your brother, he's only doin' his duty in trying protecting ya! Hell, if I had a sister and saw her talkin' to a lout who looked like me, I'd probably be a bit worried myself. And as for the vest, uh, maybe? Fashion ain't really my thing, this is something that my patron picked out for me today. I don't usually dress up like this, but he insisted. Either way, thank you for the compliment. And as for my name. . ." Korrey decided to lean a bit into theatrics and flare, taking a step away from the small crowd to give an exaggerated bow to them all, a bit of crimson and black showing from the space between his sunglasses and brow, before he rose back up with an equal amount of fan-fare, excessive hand gestures included. "I'm none other than the illustrious Korrigan Umbraisis, scion from the grand city of Erridun. . . but most everyone I know calls me Korrey. Less of a mouthful. Though I guess I got me a new nickname now, huh?"

It was here that Korrey turned to face the red-headed girl from earlier, now surrounded by her posse. Giving another bow, this one being much more restrained than the former, he flashed a smile their way, hoping to show that he meant no ill will nor took any real offense to the slight. "Bile, wasn't it? Give ya points for creative word choice, ain't never been called that before. But a nickname given, means a nickname returned, so if we ever have the good fortune of meetin' again, I hope ya don't mind if I call you Lil' Red, ye? or how about just Red? Have a preference?" Korrey was sure that his smile seemed a lil' more snarky after his poking at the girl, but he doubted the girl or her friends would take any real offense to it, and if they did, what was the worst they could really do? "Well it has been a pleasure meetin' all of ya, but I have to go get my luggage soon before my other little buddy starts to get worried. Felicity, Monty, Lil' Red, Henri, Janine, hope to see you all in the comin' months, and hope you all get good partners in the sacrementum. Don't wait up on me, now, wouldn't want any of ya to be late to such an event on my account."

With those final words and a wave, Korrey would be off to reclaim his luggage, which would be a bit of an ordeal in and of itself, since his luggage included five huge suitcases full of all kinds of things, ranging from all of his many, many books, training weapons for his mornin' warm-ups, regular training gear, clothes, it was quite a lot to lug around by your lonesome. The baggage claim lady even asked if he'd like any assistance from the volunteers, but Korrey politely refused, already having a system in mind. Pulling at the first one, he'd half-roll, half-drag the heavy suitcases along the ground at a slow but steady pace, a small line of sweat rolling down his brow as he did so. With each step, he also picked up a little speed, so before too long, he'd be already at walking speed, probably around the time everyone got in line for the ceremony if no one else came to chat with him, not that he wouldn't mind the company. As he was dragging along his train of luggage, however, he happened to finally notice a familiar face. 

"Hey Ruby, glad I didn't *hurk* miss ya! Who's your *urgh* friend?" Korrey asked between strained grunts as he worked to get his luggage train a movin'. Okay, point taken. Next time the old man says to just let him deliver the stuff to my dorm, don't think of it as a challenge. Me and my big mouth. . .
