Zalek was shocked by the number of bodies that poured in, he thought to himself,<i>I guess the bland sign was actually noticeable. H</i>e listened with intent as each person rambled off their reasoning for coming.  The answers to the questions were wild, vague, and some even felt like a lie. But Z didn't care. He was there for entertainment and adventure which he was certainly going to get with this crew.<br/><br/>He perked up from the edge of the bar when Videl began to unroll the map. Zalek had seen many maps during his centuries of living but the mastery of this one was remarkable. He let a low catcall of a whistle escape his lips, making a comment more to himself than others, "Ain't that a beauty."  The layout was so detailed and precise. He knew whoever crafted that put time and effort into it.  For a better look, Zalek hopped over the bar top in a graceful motion giving a wink and nod to the barmaid. "It's alright darling, just getting a better look at my friend's map." She didn't seem to mind his intrusion as he locked eyes with her and flashed a wide grin. If he wasn't more interested in what Videl was going to disclose he might have considered making an advance on the young lady. She was attractive and attractive was his type.<br/><br/>Zalek heard pieces of what Videl had begun to say but was fully pulled in when Elris began to talk. He thought<i>This redhead is quite the asset. Her beauty alone would put a man in a voluntary trance but her voice. It's angelic and laced with delicious magic. </i>He was beginning to like this one. "I liked your first orders better." He spoke out in regards to Elris telling the humans in the room to jump into the sea. The dark dictation of direction played on his diabolical side, the side he was trying to keep locked away.<br/><br/>When Videl stepped in and corrected her direction Zalek knew this was a good blend. Videl would be the man of reason keeping the casualties low on this journey. He appreciated the balance the two seemed to have. As Videl spoke Zalek paid attention, the information was vague. Most of it repeated the posting that brought him in, to begin with.<br/><br/>"Bring on nightfall," he stated at the end of Videl speaking. Zalek was an impatient person when there was something that he wanted and right now he was hungry for this quest to unfold.
