Rizel merely stood; his height was that of a giant as his measurements were never carefully considered before, his helm reached to the still mounted woman's mid torso making him a fierce shadow over the normal man. However he never met the females neither gaze nor spoke a word, instead he had nodded towards the filthy man that sat on the side of the road and reached out a hand revealing an apple he had held earlier, and from a pouch on the side of his steed he had just offered it to such a wounded fellow. "For your troubles, to be host to such an unwelcome guest."<br/><br/>His tone of voice was ever cold but the invalid of a man took the consumable substance none the less "Much obliged sir, any other time I may be of assistance to let me know right?" His voice was slurred and pronunciation was that of a fellow with a poor back ground, his amusement drew him to smile to Rizel, even in the presence of a stranger, when help was offered the wounded soldier opened his arms and exclaimed "I'm all yours!" With a cheerful grin.<br/><br/>The knight however was already on his mount, his attention drew elsewhere and it was as if the presence of the she-knight was never found to his mind, her words rounded past his figure and disappeared under the ever sweet blue skies, however in the distance was dark plains, one of tainted marshes and coiled grounds. The soldier saw this in those dark red eyes of Rizel and shouted a warning as the knight began to leave.<br/><br/>"Don't go in there! You'll never come back out! I swear it!" His voice was frantic and he never stopped for words, instead he seemed truthful in his exclaim and besides the rudeness before this man had seen slaughter before his eyes not a few hours ago, to see another so soon would kill him inside especially if not for giving a warning to the knight.<br/><br/>"Good day, claim your rest, for you have claimed it." With those words, Rizel continued his journey onward. It was not far now until he would reach the marshes to find a certain creature he would be looking for. Those words of the dragon however did manage to find Rizel in the end; the information about the dragon's passing merely shifted his expression under that dark figure of a helm but nothing more for he kept that private.
