Taurmynt looked up slightly startled to say the least that someone had managed to approach him without him realizing so. He opened his mouth, stupidly for a moment. It had been months since a conversation with anything that could talk back, he was very much used the the the strange looks and fear he was met with whenever he walked the crowded streets of Ver'sol, not having a clearly rich and stunningly beautiful woman ask him where the best place to be was. Though it wasn't as if Taurmynt cared for beauty, even if he did; as always it didn't show
"Excitement is overrated." He had a very slight accent, it was a traveller's accent. Several different locations could be picked out, along with the slightly exotic accent of the Wilt'no.
He was the kind to quickly slit the throat of those that got in his way, rather than make a scene; he doubted one such as her would be unguarded.
"I believe one of the Sombremessa Hotel staff would me more informed than I, it would probably be a wiser move than to ask myself, you need not know what a temictiani* does for entertainment." There was little chance of her understanding his language and even if she did, the fact didn't bother him much.
As the light caught his dark eyes, they seemed emptier than ever. A complete lack of emotion in his deep gaze. Even his eyes could hide emotion; his 'sister' Sorren often commented on the fact he was like a brick wall at times. She prodded fun at him; her icy demander wasted on him. Neither of them meant it; infact she being the only family he had; Taurmynt was almost close to her in a strange way.
"Come Back here you fiend!" Screeched a gruff voice, the voice belonged to a butcher, his blood stain apron proof of that. He waved a perfectly sharpened cleaver in the hair as he regretted not losing any weight. For the balding middle-aged man was already out of breath. He braced himself, placing his hands on his knees, bending over catching his breath while his colourless eyes scanned around looking for the culprit that stole his best sausages.
A massive, beige, six legged shape ran past him. A snort escaping it's long maw. Taurmynt could just see the scene from where he was stood; a small smile of amusement came to his face.
The rathil dodged around the fat, old butcher, it's tails whipping back and fourth as his gourmet meat came more slavered upon. The overly large rathil grinned through the string of meat; in his opinion he'd won. He danced around the butcher for a moment; smug was an understatement for it. Just as it was going to turn the corner and rush of to devour it's prize; it ran, comically head long into the wall. A small crunching sound was heard. He lay on the floor dazed for a moment; blinking as everything slid back into focus.
It was clear the butcher was wondering how much he'd get for a boned leg of rathil. He wielded his meat cleaver threatening as if daring anyone to take the pleasure of silencing the beast from him.
"Excuse me, sir." The voice that interrupted was cold, and aimed to be intimidating. The voice belonged to Taurmynt.
"I'm afraid, the rathil is one of my own and I'd rather take him home before he was put through a meat grinder." The rathil bore no resemblance to that of the terrified mount he'd rode previously. He'd moved slightly away from the dark alley he'd been in, no one had batted an eyelid when the chaos had began. It was usual there; it livened up the exotic place; not that it needed much livening up. Instead they all now stood silent, wondering how the butcher was going to react to that statement. Taurmynt didn't really want to make a scene. Instead he chucked an reasonably bag of key stones at the vender. Why he had saved the rathil, Taurmynt wasn't sure.
"Wow." The rathil said; Taurmynt was suprised rathils were capable of speech. Though did it have to have a speaky, nails on a chalk board voice that was just asking for trouble. It's eyes went wide for a moment, clearly amazed at something. "
You're him! You're the guy that... I'm such a big fan of yours! With the weird little quirks that confuse all the annalists! And you're so amazing! I adore death in all it's forms, but you're better than the grim reaper!" Taurmynt must have stood, utterly confused for several moments. The expression on his face priceless. After managing to collect himself Taurmynt turned to carry on with his day; with hopefully no more interventions from morbid, hyper, talkative rathils.
"Hey! Can I come? Please? You saved me, right? That makes you responsible for me! I promise I won't be a bother. I swear!" The idea hadn't even occurred to the simple creature that it could be the next thing Taurmynt took his spear to. Surprisingly, in answer the humanoid lucain just growled in reply. "Oh
! I'm Raro by the way; could I be your sidekick? You know like Batman and Robin... Only y'know, like evil!" The constant drivel that spilled fourth from his mouth was unbearable to most. The young rathil didn't seem to ever shut up. He moved past the young woman again, wishing that Raro would shut up for a moment. For someone with no apparent emotion Taurmynt sure had alot of pride.
"Oooh! She was pretty! Do you know her? Is she one of those royal things? She could be an assassin! Or something and-" At that point in time Raro had his mouth forcefully shut for him. Even though Taurmynt seemed to hate the creature, it wouldn't be alive if he wasn't strangely fond of it in a way. Which was highly unusual.
(I'm tired and I needed to bring Raro in. He's always like that. xD So expect high amounts of fail. For those on a low fail diet please consult your GP before reading the above. Thankyou. x-x If there's something seriously wrong with my post, pm me and I'll edit. I haven't had time to edit it much and it's 1:36am. So yeah; fail post. xD)
