"Well then, you aren't a monster. At least to me anyway. I don't know about the rest of the beastkin, though." *Rhak starts moving closer to Alkai.* "Oh, I never got your name."
Jane
Alkai: name's Alkai... The blood heretic as I'm called back at that wretched place... 
*He took a slightly more relaxed position, a bit nervous about the size difference and the fact he had a sword*
Santiago
"That is a nice name. And why are you called the blood heretic, if you don't mind me asking? Is it because of how you looked?" *Rhak scooted a bit closer to Alkai. He is starting to trust Alkai.*
Jane
Alkai: no... My appearance is a biproduct of why they call me that... 
*He sighed and sat upright*
Alkai: I'm a red sorcerer... 
*He paused for a moment*
Alkai: I... Use blood to empower my magic... It bears the soul of macen kind... Something which corrupts the appearance of elves... Gives us flaws... Shows our true selves... I embraced this darkness... And thus it earned me that name... Now I am but an outcast... 
*He looked down in nostalgia and melancholy, trying to hide his sorrow*
Santiago
*Rhak was thinking about the response. He gets an idea.* "Hey, actually I am going to the Salvainian Empire. Do you want to come with?"
Jane
Alkai: I... I don't know... I'm unfamiliar with the culture... What if I don't fit in?
*He looked over to him, curling up his legs and hugging his knees*
Santiago
"I heard that anyone can fit in at the Salvainian Empire. Even high elves, also some beastkin. I believe it is in that direction." *He points to the direction of the closest town in the Salvainian Empire.*
Jane
*He looked down and remained quiet for a moment*
Alkai: maybe... Alright then... Lead the way... 
*He tightened his bandages and accommodated his cloak over his shoulders*
Santiago
*Rhak adjusted his leather armour and walked out of the tent. He looked over his shoulder to look at Alkai.* "If you want to grab something of value to you, you can. I'll wait. Just come out if you're ready to head towards the Salvainian Empire."
Jane
Alkai: alright, it'll be a moment... 
*He stood up, his robe reaching down to his knees and his cloak wrapping around his body, he reached for a black canvas bag in the back of the tent and gathered a few papers and neatly placed them in the bag*
Santiago
*Rhak used this moment to polish his sword. He hadn't used it because it was mainly used for intimidation. He does know how to use it and knows some moves, just in case the opponent doesn't feel intimidated by a reptilian with a sword. He wants to make sure it is in pristine condition. In fact, it looked better than when he got the sword.*
Jane
*After about a minute, Alkai walked out with the bag under his cloak*
Alkai: well, I'm ready if you are... 
*The ragged cloak reached down to his ankles*
Santiago
*Rhak smiled as he put his sword away.* "Alright lets go. And if you are feeling tired, just tell me and we can stop so you could rest." *Rhak starts walking in the direction of the Salvainian Empire.*
Jane
*Alkai followed behind, keeping his head low and his sight on Rhak's footprints*
