"...I've never met an Adharci, period. Not that I can remember. I can probably count the number of mages I've met on one hand too."

*There was Katherine, who seemed really, really close with Aldeberto. And that one time fighting the minotaur. Was there a mage there?*

"....More important matters? What are you, gay?"

*...Maybe he was, by the looks of it.*

"I'm not like most girls. I'll admit I can be cold at times."
Micheal
*Somehow the number of Adharci and mages she met didn't surprise him whatsoever. He gave a light shake of his head. If he hadn't spent all his life in Amongko up until now, he'd have found it disappointing, but he wasn't even too sure if there were any Oni out here. He had only met one since leaving. It seemed like such a rare occurrence.

At her second question, his eyes narrowed to slits. He wasn't even going to entertain part of it, mainly because he wasn't sure what it was implying.*"I am looking for someone."*He answered simply.*"It was my duty to make sure nothing happened to them and now I have unfortunately lost them. I am unsure of if they are still alive. You two are quite similar I suppose. Neither of you know how to hold your tongue which may well be their downfall out here."

*At her final statement, he looked at her with a face of doubt.*"If you were actually 'cold', you'd probably be more similar to the females of my kind. Adharci women, they are... Mmm..."*He thought of it for a moment.*"Well, I suppose my mentor would have had more knowledge of that. I've hardly had reason to speak to ones outside the noble family until tasked with accompanying my lord's son on his trip out here."
Matthew
"Oh? Oh. Shame."

*The uzhi crossed her arms, pouting slightly at the mention that she couldn't hold her tongue.*

"Not my problem I'm trying to socialize a little more."

*An eyebrow was raised as Ryker talked about blue oni women. Now __that__ was something she wanted to know. It was a shame that Ryker seemed to have little experience with them.*

"Hm. Perhaps try your hand with the local macen then? They tend to be a bit warmer, especially the fire ones."

*Katherine had given her a hug one too many times, unfortunately*
Micheal
*The Oni seemed partially offended at the suggestion.*"Are you insinuating that I should postpone my search to seek interaction with some random Macen I find in town?"*He questioned as if it were a very ridiculous idea. Which to him it was, insulting even.*"More so the 'fire ones'...I dislike the heat..."
