He knowledged the couples interest in them with a toothy grin and then looked back.<b>“Pleasure?” </b>He asked, somewhat amused.<b>“Not too many would consider running into me, pleasure. But I have had my moments.”</b><br/><br/><b>"As for creatures,"</b>he continued, shifting his eyes predatorily around the room before taking them back to Retta's,<b> "I have a very keen sense of smell." </b>He gave her a slow wink before sitting back in his chair with a satisfactory look on his face.<b> "Of course, when in doubt, I just assume they are foul, and send them the way of the witch."</b>Erebus brought his two large hands together and made a snapping motion.<br/><br/>He was enjoying the mysterious maiden's company more and more, but remained suspicious of her true nature.
