Unguarded Guardians (IC) Part 2

[MiscChaos]

Lilia lets a smirk grace her face as she gets her bloody death via impaled heart. It's the little things that are doing it for her right now. Dragged into a conflict way beyond the scope of any pay she's ever accepted, lead by gods she doesn't trust or respect, with enemies that'll dog her even if she leaves, her nerves are not in the best condition right now. She has to restrain the urge to stab the corpse a few dozen times for stress relief because of it. The sight of a squad of guards headed her way made that a lot easier, but also prevents her from killing the guard she knocked off the roof. While it'd be a whole lot more fun to slaughter the guards one-by-one, that'd also likely get her killed and, as much as she hates her life right now, she'd rather stay alive. So she follows the cloaked figures, boosting herself to catch up with them and then keeps pace, moving to draw as little attention as possible.

[daxtinator396]

Dax grins widely glad he had found an attack that he could use effectively on softened it unarmored opposition. Though it was almost too easy! Jeeze he could swear they were grabbing these guys right off the street without training at all. He supposed he should be thankful for that in a way but he just felt bad that they had died so easily. He didn't have time to reflect much longer on his philosophical musings because as soon as he had landed he was dragged away into the crowd,"Woah hey! Warn a guy before you do something like that! What's the plan?" He asked trying his best to keep up from the awkward position.

[Zender_Solarheart]

Making it brief, Victor bows respectfully to his fallen opponent after his death is certain, and quietly says: "Be at peace." Truth be told, the man didn't really put up a fight, but that doesn't change how the Necros were simply using him. It's only fair to wish him better fortune in the afterlife; perhaps the gods will have mercy on his soul?

Spotting Nyx stalking two more cloaked figures, Victor catches up with her, and relays some info: "Don't engage them. Those two are on our side." Better to warn her about that now, before they go making unneeded enemies with like-minded acquaintances.

[Sortaix]

Sort and Chimera: The Town Square that's shaped like a circle. (Happy, Bluelight?)

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Blue has an easy time slicing the throat of his enemy, allowing his life's blood to flow freely. After he gets his blades back on and got them ready, he would then look up to see the guards that were attacking the stranger now dead. As Blue walked forward to greet them man, he was interrupted by a loud roar. Another Draco-lich flew over the city, one that Blue wouldn't recognize, but Sort and his friends would recognize as Sierras' mount. Sort then quickly grabbed Blues shoulder and said,
"No time to explain, we gotta run now,or Queen Bitch of the necromancers is gonna kill us!"
He then clamped onto Blues shoulder, and took off dragging Blue into the city. The ran through the buildings and streets for what seemed like a very long time, though time was a little difficult to tell at this point. Sort then stopped in front of a clothes shop and told Blue one more thing.
"Don't know who you are, you don't know who I am. My name could get us both killed, call me Vladius. Now, I have some gold, go into the store and get a cloak, that covers as much of you as possible. I am going to get one as well. Then I am going to get some red paint or dye, whichever I can find. What of our bodies we cannot cover with the cloaks, we'll paint red, and with the staff I stole off of one of the necromancers I killed, we can pretend to be daemons. No one will bother us then, after that though, I have to find my companions. Once I find them and things calm down, we can tell each other what is going on."
After Sort confirmed that Blue understood him, he then went into the store to buy the things they needed, as well as going to get the dye they needed. Should Blue follow along with Sorts plan, he would find a large cloak, that covered his whole body, except for his feet, tail and horns. His face was concealed by the hood enough that he didn't have to paint his face that much. Sort found one much the same, so he had to paint his face, ears and wolf tail. His wings he made vanish, explaining they were magic and not real.

Daxtinator: Mixing in the Crowd

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Dax was led into the crowd by the cloaked figure, who replied to his comment by simply saying.
"Be quiet and keep your blade hidden."
Dax was able to pick up on the fact that the voice was female, though he couldn't see anything other than her hand and wrist which were covered in fur. So, it was a good indicator that she was an anthro woman of some kind. She led him on for what seemed like a long time, though that could be the adrenaline, before stopping by a street vendor and buying a cloak. She handed it to Dax without looking at him.
"Put that cloak on. If anyone notices you are a Neko, we are both caught, and I'd rather be dead than caught."
The mystery woman gave Dax some time to put his cloak on, which covered him well enough, though he had to get a little creative with his tail. (assuming he has one.) Though for the first time, he was now able to see that womans' face, as she looked him over to ensure his cloak hid everything. She was a canine of some kind, though he could tell if she was a fox, wolf, or anything specific. He could tell that her fur was a darker color. She then grabbed his hand and led him further down the street before going to the back of one of the taverns and opening the cellar doors, and going inside.
"Come on inside, we need to talk to you."

Lilia: Following the Two Figures.

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Lilia followed the two mystery figures for what seemed like a while, though that might just be from the excitement. They eventually stopped by a store and bought a cloak for her, to partially hide her face. Lilia only heard one of them speak, and she could tell he was a male, probably young enough to just be coming of age. The cloak did work for a time however, until they came upon a rode on which, the guards were demanding everyone dressed in such a manner to reveal themselves. The mystery figures then stepped into and alleyway and walked over the next road, barely avoiding the next patrol, and then opened up an entrance into the sewer system. One hopped down and gave the other the "okay", at which point the young one looked at Lilia, who could now see his face and tell he was just coming of age as he spoke to her.
"You gotta come with us, so the guards don't spot you. We are part of a group and we need to make our way to our hideout. You can come with us."
Then young man seemed to be sincere in his words.

Victor and Nyx: Following People Who are Being Followed by People.

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Victor and Nyx were able to follow three cloaked figures, though they didn't get a chance to get close. They followed the people for what seemed like a while, before they turned down a road, at which a guard patrol was trying to round up suspects. The three figures then slipped behind a building and proceeded to enter the buildings cellar. Victor and Nyx were able to hide by an alleyway, long enough the guard patrol to pass before having the opportunity to enter the same cellar, if they so desired.

[daxtinator396]

He was slightly miffed by the short answer but understood the need for it and did as he was bid and the blade sunk back into his gauntlets. He was curious about the now known woman because she was an anthro like him but maybe not neko. He followed along though sure that he would get a chance to find out who she was and what she was soon enough. When he was press ted with the cloak he swiftly put it on and kept his tail up against his back to keep it hidden, which was vastly irritating but necessary as well. He managed to catch a peek of her face and found she was not Neko like him but closer to Inu or maybe Kitsune. He would have to ask when he got a chance which looked to be now as he was dragged into a cellar and he swiftly removed the hood of the cloak to let his ears have freedom and his tail moved into its normal place no longer needing to be him,"Alright please tell me what is going on and can I ask what kind of anthro you are? I know its personal but I really want to know. Please talk away though." He finished and waited for what they had to say.

[CryptidChimera]

Blues shoulders slumped when he heard the roar and started to question his previously precived luck. He didn't bother to look up as he had already made the connection between airborne roars and trouble. He sighed heavily as the man told him that some woman was going to try to kill them, but then again who wasn't today? The man started to drag Blue deeper into the city. Blue struggled to keep his balance as they fled through the street. The buildings forming into a blur until they stopped infront of what looked like a clothing store. Nodding slowly as the man told him a fake name to use for the time being and told him his plan to travel through the city safely. Blue then slowly follows "Vladius" into the store. Touching his collar as he walks and whispering to himself Gods what have I gotten myself into? Blue then rummages thought the shops inventory until he finds a suitable black cloak. Once officially in his possession he'd make the nessacery modifications for his horns and puts it on. The smell of the red dye bothered his nose slightly but otherwise Blue felt he made a passable demon. He then turns to Vladius and asked Where to next? Blue wasn't sure what the hell was happening but was almost certain that his best odds at survival lies with this man and the companions he mentioned.

[MiscChaos]

Lilia starts to become bored as she slinks through the crowd with these two. This is pretty much everyday stuff for her, so it's not like they're doing anything exciting. She has reservations about the cloak since A) It makes her stick out from the crowds where previously she could blend in and move along in a different direction of worst came to worst and B.) It identified her as one of them so if they get caught, her face will now be associated with theirs though that may've already happened since she didn't have time to kill the guard she knocked off the roof. She'll just have to hope that he didn't look at her long enough to log her features or that the impact of hitting the ground scrambled his recent memory. Hitting the blocked off road just seals her reservations and she vows not to do this again if her instincts cry out so loudly against it. She wants to say "Well no shit you're part of a group. I've seen more of you bastards than just you two!", but her frustration with her circumstances shouldn't be allowed to affect what she says to this kid. It's just unprofessional.

"I don't have to come with you. I could just ditch the cloak and be on my merry way. But your group has my interest, so I'll come along." is what she does say, preparing to follow them into the sewers. "Though I have to warn you: If this is a trap, you and your friend WON'T be coming out of here alive."

[Angel_Slayer_Alcatraz]

Nyx looked at Victor, and looked at the building
"You want to go for it? or head back?"
She said quietly
"I dont have a preference before you ask"

[Zender_Solarheart]

Truth be told, this is a tough decision for Victor. The people in the cellar certainly seem to be for a common cause to their own, but it's clearly an underground organization; as such, they'd likely have a password or such that would be needed for entry. That considered, they seem to have things under relative control here, but there's no guarantee the guards won't find them later...

The long pause illustrates how hard Victor thinks about it, but he eventually whispers his decision to Nyx: "...I say we keep a low profile, and link back up with the Captain once this all blows over. How we approach this 'underground resistance' can wait until then."

With that said, Victor keeps his ears open for nearby guards, making sure none are too close to their hiding spot before he signals for Nyx to move out with him. Once they do, he makes sure to keep things stealthy, always having his eyes peeled for the closest hiding place; the entirety of the city guard is being ordered by the Necros, so they're essentially being hounded by every local law-officer. To think, him and Nyx...being reduced to fugitives...

[Sortaix]

Sortaix and The Red colored Lizard, named "Blue"...*snicker*:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Things seemed to progress well, after Sort and his new friend went back into the city, except for not being able to find anybody he knew, or anything to remotely come close to telling him their location within the city. So, things weren't really going well at all. That mattered little, as Sort could always cheat and do things the easy way, which he did. Sort led Blue a little way into an alley, just out of sight before playing up a little magic in his hands, which did little more than attract a white dove. The dove however landed on Blues horns, but before he could do anything, it began to speak.
"Well now, lost are we?"
"Would I have bothered you otherwise, Mother?"
"No, I guess not. You're almost as bad as your father when it comes to navigating cities."
"Just help me find my friends, so we can get this show on the road... please."
"What's this? Manners, from you?! It must be the end of the world."
"Ha...ha... funny."
"Two of your friends have gone underground. The people in this city fighting for their freedom have established a nice little resistance against their oppressors. Dax and Lilia are both now in their company. Victor and Nyx are wandering around the street, trying not to draw attention to themselves. I will lead you to them, just don't draw too much attention to yourselves."
Sort and Blue had little time to think things over before the dove took flight and began leading them down the streets. Some people looked at the two travelers, but one look at the Necromancic staff was all that was needed to avoid to any confrontations or unwanted conversations.

Victor and the Cat-girl, with a Wolf Demon Sword:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Vicotr and Nyx were able to successfully navigate the streets for a short time without any confrontation. They slipped passed people on the busy streets, as the city began returning to its' normal routine. They had almost no trouble trying to find Sort...almost. Unfortunately someone noticed Nyx's cat-like ears, and quietly slipped away to go get the guards. Victor and Nyx made it just out of what was evidently, the citys market district. as a guard patrol stopped them. There was a young man pointing at them as he told the guards.
"That's her, That's her! That's the Cat-woman. She is obviously a neko, but she wears no collar. I want my bounty for turning in wild slaves."
The young man was quite adamant about getting money for turning Nyx in. Though a guard did step forward and looked over to Victor.
"We have laws in this city Traveler. You either get a collar for your pet or someone might think she is a wild Neko, and there is a significant bounty for turning in wild Nekos. Now, come along with us, so we can get her properly collared and registered, or you will loose her, and she'll go up for auction."
The guard didn't seem to be overly aggressive, just a normal attitude. This gave off the impression, that a Neko woman walking around, as a slave being normal for this city, and Nyx's apparent "freedom" being something unusual. Though as the guard stood waiting for his answer Victor or Nyx would just so happen to notice a white dove flying over him. A white dove that felt strangely familiar, and was looking in the other direction, as if waiting for something.

Cat Man: *cue classic batman theme tune*

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

The woman that led Dax into the cellar turned at his question, of what type of anthro she was. She looked at him for a moment, as if judging his intentions.
"My name is Terra, and I am a Wolfen. Now come along with us. This place isn't safe for a Neko."
She said as Dax could now see a human standing in the corner as well as a large male Deer anthro, both of them, armed with swords. They gave Terra a questioning loo until they looked at Dax and noticed what he was. They then walked over to a large ale barrel and lifted open the lid, which led to a hallway. The group then proceeded down the hallway, with the only light being from the torch that the human was carrying, until they came to a door. The two men drew their weapons and looked at each other, waiting as if they were expecting something on the other side of those doors to cause trouble. They flung open the door and threw the torch inside, which caused, nothing.
All three of the people breathed a sigh of relief before the torch was picked back up and they continued on deeper into what Dax's nose told him was a sewer. They traveled for only a few more minutes before they came to another door, at which the human proceeded to knock on, in a strange, rhythmic pattern. The door then opened and the three were allowed inside. Another human stood guarding this door, armored up and armed to the teeth. The three led Dax through one more door, which led to a large room, full of people. There were humans and anthros of all types and ages about. The place looked like a sort of refugee camp. Unfortunately, the people looked like they were in a refugee camp, almost no one looked remotely close to happy. Dax was led halfway through this room before they stopped behind a large human, in full armor, with a mace and a shield at his side. Terra tapped him on the shoulder and began to speak to him.
"Simon, we were able to stop the execution, and we found someone else that might help us. He has magic I could see it." The human looked Dax over, and Dax could see the man's weather face and scars indicated he was no stranger to battle, maybe even war.
"So Terra, you think he might help us? That's why you brought him straight here, to our home? You didn't even bother to see if he was a damn spy?"
"Simon, he is a Neko!"
"What does that matter? He could still be working for the Government, or the Necromancers. You there, Cat-boy, tell me who you are and what you are doing in this wretched city."

Lilia:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Lilias words were not lost on the young man, as she could see him turn a little bit pale at her words. The group descended into the sewer, where they traveled for a few minutes. During this time, the young one from earlier spoke to her. He was trying to just break the silence, but he did tell her that they were part of a resistance in the city. Apparently not all of the Lamayons were happy with the alliance with Saloran, or the Necromancy and slavery it brought. The central focus of the resistance was here in the capital city. Though the resistance lacked any real power to do little more than steal slave shipments and other criminal like activity against the Necromancer overlords. They had however caused enough trouble that a Necromancer had come to the city to personally eradicate them. He was a large brute of a man, always wearing heavy armor and wielding a large war hammer. He used his magics to make his body stronger as opposed to using magic as his weapon. The young man talked for a bit longer, but was cut short as they came to a door. The other person knocked on the door in a strange, rhythmic patter, which caused the door to be opened. The three stepped inside, and Lilia was able to see a very large room, possibly an old cistern, and it was full of people. People who looked like they were in a refugee camp, but there in the middle of the room was Dax, and he was talking to someone in full armor.

[MiscChaos]

Lilia sighs a little inside at the boys reaction to her words. She supposes that she was a bit unnecessarily overbearing, but he's supposed to be part of an organization that moves in the shadows. Get some guts, kid! Not like he has anything to fear if he's being straight with her anyway. He finally confirms her assumption of a resistance force in the city and she's not altogether surprised on their progress. They'd need nicely placed assassinations if they're trying to do things without an army. She knows they know how to slip in and out of places well enough, but with the flash earlier to free the prisoners, she's not sure how well they'd do killing someone without drawing attention to themselves. Still, they must be doing SOMETHING right to bring a necromancer to their door. Something more important than a slave trade's gotta be going down to warrant that. She'll need more info, she's sure. She's a bit surprised about the description of the Necromancer though. She'd thought they'd all be slender, magic using folks, not "Break down the damn door, RAAAAH!" types.

She losses herself in thought, ignoring most of the boy's small talk until they get where they're going. She can't say she's impressed with the place, but a hideaway isn't supposed to be impressive, it's supposed to stay under the radar. So she counts the lack of flash as a good thing. A good thing gets a little better when she spots Dax. Feeling like she'd rather someone she know have her back, she makes her way to him.

"Hey, Dax! When'd you arrive?" she says in a light manner, waving as she draws close.

[Zender_Solarheart]

Having been stopped by the guard, Victor realizes his "keep a low profile" decision has pretty much become a wash; hard to be inconspicuous in this city when the mere sight of a girl with cat-ears gets you pulled over. On top of that, the guard's obvious approval for slavery, devoid of any morality, just serves to annoy him further. Spotting Sort's guardian dove overhead, however, he decides immediate violence might not be that wise just yet...

...so instead, Victor decides to buy time with a little "chatting."

"If things go bad, run and find Sort. I'll be okay." Victor whispers the heads-up to Nyx, then answers the guard with: "Pardon me, officer, but I have no pet. This young lady is my companion, and as such, deserves better treatment than a house-cat." While saying this, Victor keeps one hand ready to draw Mjolnir in defense, should the guard get uppity...though hopefully, Captain Sort will arrive to help before things get too ugly...

[CryptidChimera]

Blue let his eyes wander about as they looked for Vladius's companions. Not really sure who he was looking for but sure they wouldn't look like your average city dweller. His senses had adjusted to the smell of the dye which allowed Blue to absorb the full sensory expirence of the city without the need to hide from guards. While all the building and streets looked the same to him the city was filled with sounds and smells that were completely new to Blue. But he knew this wasn't a day for sight seeing. They needed to find Vladius's friends before anyone potentially saw through their diguises. Blue kept a small distance between himself and his new aquiantance as they walked down the alley and eyed the magic in Vladius's hand cautiously until seeing the end result. A small white dove which Blue was about to shoo off his horn when he hear the one thing he hadn't expected, the bird spoke with a womans voice. It was obvious the bird and Vladius knew each other when he called her mother. Blue smirked at this as it reminded him of his own mother. Which caused him to reminisce of days long since past. Making being little more than a temporary perch bearable. Blue hardly noticed the conversation had come to an ended until the bird had taken flight. Casting the shades of the past from his mind with a quick shake of his head, he chased after Vladius and the bird

[daxtinator396]

Dax gave her a nod as she told him what kind of anthro she was,"Thank you Miss Terra and nice to meet you as well." He directs the last part towards the people waiting for them. He didn't like their suspicious nature of him but Terra soon dispelled their thoughts and they were on their way and he was glad for it. They had quite a setup down here with the secret passages and what not and he followed along quietly and looked with confusion as they tossed their torch into a room and ducked back,"What was that for? Sewer gas?" He asked curiously almost to himself not expecting an answer but one might be provided eventually.Within moments though they had reached their destination and he took note of the tapping in case he might need it later and then he saw what lay behind the door and he was saddened. All of these people against the Necromancers and he knew that he had found a worthy cause. He watched with interest as he was led to a leader of sorts it seemed and Terra explained his coming which seemed to make the man angry and just as suddenly the anger was directed at him. This made him angry to be accused of spying after sticking his neck to help them and this was how he was repaid,"Cat boy. How dare you. I've heard that too often since coming here and they were never endearing terms. I don't want to hear that sequence of words again. This nice woman speaks the truth! I am a member of the Furon Royal guard and a proud member at that. I am no spy. Now please apologize for your accusation sir." He said harshly angry about the way he was being talked to and then he heard Lilia and he turned,"Lilia? They brought you too? This nice woman brought me here and then this man accused me of being a spy! Please help me explain why we are here." He asks waving her over a slight frown on his face though was glad to see that she seemed happy to see him.

[MiscChaos]

"You guys are suspicious of good ol' Dax here? Do you know anyone dumb enough to spy for a group of people who want him dead? For more than being a neko at that. We just got done dealing with necromancers before we arrived in town!" Lilia says, pulling out the actress in her for the appropriate levels of indignity the situation calls for. To be honest, she completely understand where they're coming from and why they must be suspicious of everyone, even sure things. She makes sure to keep the "dealing with" vague though. Better for her and Dax to be thought as greater assets than they are right now.

[Sortaix]

Sort, Blue, Victor, and...What's Her Name: Chacca-Lacca-Bacca Street.

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

The guard that had been addressing Victor gave him an unusual look, as he spoke of Nyx being his companion. He then took a step back, his hand moving to the hilt of his mace.
"So, she's your friend, huh? If she isn't your slave, then that makes her fair game, for anyone who wants a new pet. Dirken, get over here, we just might get a new pet for the barracks today."
The guard said as his companion came forward, pulling out a war axe, as he raised a shield. It looked like violence was about to break out, but a blast of purple, gay as all get out, necromanic magic broke up the fight. A cloaked figure, a little hunched over stormed right over to Victor and slapped him across the face.
"What the hell took you two so damn long? Do you two have any idea how long our mistress has been waiting? What, did your tiny brains get lost in the big wide city?"
Victor would be able to notice that the figure had Sorts voice, though his wolf tail and his ears were now red, as opposed to the light grey they were. Sort then looked up at him, making eye contact with Victor, as he mouthed the words, "Play Along." Sort then turned around to Nyx and looked her over, before turning around back to Victor.
"By Sheldon! You were told to escort her through the city as she found more appropriate clothes for tonight, and she's still wearing the same stuff she was earlier! Cannot you not perform a simple task as to escort Mistresses newest pet to a clothing store and back, you IDIOT?"
The guard then stepped forward and tried to interrupt, but Sort just twirled around and screamed out at him, as he pulled back his hood, to reveal a red face with red wolfish ears, along with his bright yellow wolfish eyes as he shouted out at the guard, as he pointed to himself and over to blue.
"And unless you want to end up as my next meal or my comnpanions over there, or our mistresses next zombie footstool,. you better go find someone else to annoy you little shit!"
The guard had recognized the magic, as being Necromancic in nature, and when Sort revealed his face, making him look like some sort of daemon servant to a necromancic mistress, it was all the guard could handle as he and and most of the surrounding people, bolted away from the group. Sort then grabbed Nyx's wrist and led her off toward the marked district of the city as he shouted back at Victor, now leading the group away from all the prying eyes.
"You better come with me, so I can show you what you were supposed to have been doing today, you worthless excuse for a life!"

Lilia and Dax: The subterranean hideout that is underground:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Simon was a little taken aback by Daxs hostility, but when Dax mentioned being of the Furon royal guard the man took a step back.
"Furon royal guard, huh? Yeah right, those human supremeists are almost as bad the the Necromancers, like hell you could be one of their royal guard."
The man looked a little hostile, but when LIlia spoke out he turned to her and hs face took on greater anger.
"What?! After all the training, all the effort we put into remaining hidden, and you bring me two brand new people, right off the street, without any of them being checked, at all? What the hell is wrong with..."
"Father, SHUT UP!"
The young man, that had brought Lilia to the hideout screamed, interrupting Simon, must to Simons displeasure.
"Father, I saw one man with these people kill two Necromancers today, he used light magic. He fought unlike anything I had seen, when two wings formed onto his back. You said they all could make white or gold wings appear on their backs when they fought, and I saw one today!"
Simon stopped completely as, he looked over LIlia and Dax, while the entire room was dead quiet, everyone looking at those two. Simon eventually forced himself to asked one question, with a look of shock on his face.
"You two came here...with a Paladin?"

[MiscChaos]

Lilia crosses her arms and looks at the man in annoyance, glad at least that something had shut him up. "If that's what you wanna call our fearless captain, go ahead." She says, not needing to act in order to get the levels of annoyance she wants into her voice. This whole thing's still an act to bring about the results she wants though. "I'm not altogether certain we should allow you to meet considering how you've reacted to us already. Wouldn't want to endanger that secrecy you so dearly prize." She does shoot the boy who spoke up a grateful smile though. Lilia wanted to hold information about the group close, but if this is the effect a Paladin has, she makes a note to make use of it more often. If the man's that cowed by it, then getting whatever information she wants or supplies the group may need should be a cinch.

[daxtinator396]

Dax gritted his teeth as the man continued his obstinate hold that his subordinates had let two spies into his camp despite the evidence before him. He was beginning to think he was no better than than the Necros when it came to his race. It was seriously making him anger and he needed to calm down and he edged closer to Terra without thinking finding more comfort in her presence than any other in the room besides Lilia of course but she was speaking to the bigoted man and doing it well and had no intention of breaking her concentration,"Sorry Terra that man Simon is pissing me off. I'm going to stand here where I know someone trusts me at least alittle bit. I want to thank you for giving me a chance and standing up for me even if it could have gotten you in trouble." He said apologetically with a small smile.

[Angel_Slayer_Alcatraz]

Nyx's eye visibly twitched as she was reffered to as a "pet" and "slave" she saw the other man draw a war axe and was about to draw her blade as well before a man walked over spouting something about taking so long, and proceeded to slap victor, which infuriated Nyx even more, until she realized it was sort, the crazy bastard is good... She played along easily
"I'm sorry master...I thought I smelled fish..."
She said as her ears perked up

[CryptidChimera]

Blue remained silent in attempt to appear like the frightening, quiet type as Vladius approached and berated who he assumed to be two of his traveling companions. As he watched this display Blue couldn't help but think that his new accquintance has the skill of a talented actor or a very well practiced liar, he couldn't tell which. Stepping closer and letting out a threatening hiss as Vladius points in his direction for added affect then returning to his silence at least until the guards and most of the crowd bolted like frightend animals. Chuckling to himself not so quietly. For some reason Blue found great enjoyment in watching this cities guards squirm in pain and fear. Deciding to find understanding of this new sadistic trait later as he follows the now growing group to another part of the city
