As Kameros spoke, Essme's grip didn't seem to loosen up. She wasn't fully buying his 'bounty hunter' act, but nonetheless played along. He was right about one thing no less- they were in the middle of nowhere and who knows what could be out here just waiting to strike... Swiveling her jaw slightly, the paladin nodded her head towards the man's beast that was still clawing to get in. "Call your hound away first." She stated simply; no debating in her cross tone. When and only when the tiefling did so, Essme dropped her magic dome before gently pressing the man away by his collar. She stood there a moment, brows still narrowed and ruffled with the look of sheer frustration present on her face. 

"A bounty hunter huh. Do *All* Bounty hunters try to fight royal guardians? Because you're still not off my hook yet." The angel crossed her arms while taking in a deep breath, shifting her weight onto one hip. "Who do you work for, hm?" 

It was a simple question really, but one that would explain a lot should the fiend tell the truth. Then again, it didn't matter if he happened to answer her truthfully or not... Essme decided right then and there, she wasn't going to let this tiefling out of her sight. And oh boy, would he be happy to hear the news... 
 Before Kameros even *Thought* About an answer, Essme brought her hand up to stop him. Shaking her head she exhaled a sharp sigh before she spoke; 

"You know what, no. We are out in the middle of *Nowhere*. I am not traveling alone, and I don't trust you to tell me the truth, so. You, are going to take me back to wherever you-" With a disturbed look on the womans face, she waved her hands around while pronouncing the words she spoke next; "- *Creatures* Come from. And then i'll know you are telling the truth."

Gasping for air, Kameros quickly waved a hand toward Cala, and just as quickly as the fire hound began bashing at the shield, she stopped and stood back calmly. There was a part of the tiefling that wished his hound was real, but a familiar could never die making them much better than something that could. Finally managing to stand, his feet sunk into the sand ever so slightly as he listened to the angel-woman speak. Dusting sand from his coat, Kameros rolled his eyes heavily at how high and mighty the 'Guardian of Findara' seemed to act. *Typical of an aasimar.*

"I work for myself. Have you never seen a bounty board or something? They're in practically each and every city. Wanted men don't just cross a kingdoms borders and magically have their foul deeds erased. They're still meant to be brought to justice, even if that justice is death." Kam sneered, a part of him hoping the woman would understand at least some of what he was trying to convince her of. It's not as if he were lying, this was the truth. He had taken a bounty up for the man dead a few feet away in Khisfire. Kam tracked and followed the man's movement to Findara where he finally caught up with him. Now all the tiefling bounty hunter had to do was get the body back to the person who had placed the bounty in the first place. "You know, not all my bounties end in death. That man was wanted for murder and rape, does that make it more justified in the moral compass you have dripping from those eyes?"

Each of Kam's words spat venom, but he knew if she was powerful enough to strip away his magic he had no choice to but to do what she asked for now. Hearing her speak of traveling together, Kam rolled his eyes.

He honestly didn't care what she did as long as he was able to collect the coin for his job in Khisfire. "You are insufferable." Looking over to Cala, Kam let out a gentle whisper and just as quickly as she had appeared, she disappeared. There was no sense in having her out for now, it would just attract more attention than anyone would want. That's when the word *'creatures'* Left the angel woman's mouth, causing Kam to look up at her in disbelief.

"Creatures? *Creatures?* I'm as every bit a man as you are a woman. Just because I may look like a devil doesn't mean I am one you racist witch. And you're one to talk! You sure you aren't being a bit overzealous in your words, *Princess?* You look like me, but with wings. Woopty doo."

When hearing true intentions of the bounty hunters' purpose in Findara, Essme's tightened face slowly began to soften. Surely she wouldn't allow such a nasty perp run free like that, so perhaps Kam was just doing his job. The angel's face slowly turned away as if she had been found guilty for her harshness towards the tiefling; her metal boot shuffling around in the sand as she went to mutter, "Still doesn't excuse your hostile behavior towards me..." Although, she was sure it was much too soft spoken for him to hear. 

In spite of everything, that slow bridge of understanding between one another would come to a designated halt when Kam threw out his next insult. '*Racist witch?'* Oh now that- didn't fly. Essme sharply whipped her head back around to the devil man; her nose scrunching in rage that he would even suggest a thing. However, before she could even open her mouth to speak, he was already cutting her off once more. *How were they the same?*

The light paladin's eyes lingered over Kameros like she was examining every fiber of his being. Taking in his bizarre horns and ears, the thick layers of robes he wore as well as the many pieces of gold jewelry dangling around his neck. He seemed *Nothing* Like her... At least in her eyes. Although, there was a familiar sting to his words nonetheless. Ever since she was a kid, Essme had always been bullied for her "Demonic" Appearance. Having horns wasn't necessarily an *Angel* Thing. And even though there was little to no explanation for her uncharacteristic looks, Essme did her best to be as kind of a creature as she could. 

*If only the world knew of her hatred for tieflings and demons alike.* 
.

Essme simply stood there in silence at the mans remarks, staring him down with a glare so harsh, no words were even needed. Though, her mouth pursing as if she *Really* Had something to say that would state otherwise. After a moment of holding her tongue, the paladin's wings fluttered abruptly. Essme let out a heavy blow through her nostrils before turning her chin up and walking past Kameros as if this whole conversation didn't affect her.

"Are you coming or what."

"Not if you're dragging me and this body back to Findara, I'm not. You can follow me to Khisfire where I can collect my bounty and you can leave me the hell alone." Once he had finished dusting himself off, the tiefling let out a grumble and sigh. Rolling his eyes, he called out after the angel-woman. "You're not going the right way, *Princess*." Starting off in the opposite direction, Kameros took out a leather skin from his pouch and took a swig of water from it. Unlike*Some* People, he came prepared for most anything. He had to in his profession. It was hot and muggy and he hated being in this situation, but at the end of the day he couldn't do anything about it right now.

Flicking his hand to the dead body, it began to levitate behind him slowly as he walked along. Kam didn't speak anymore, and chose to keep to himself while the winged-woman behind him caught up with him.
