Shay looks at the Oni who spoke. "Well now you have." he says simply. "Well then...I guess you heard wrong. Or you think every elf is the same as the next." He says in a smooth yet clearly audible voice. He just stared at the Oni. He was not backing down nor was he showing any sign of fear. In this case...he wasn't afraid. He looks at the Oni when he growled his way. Ignoring the growl and pretending it was a whisper of the wind. His bird Jujo flew around just outside. Out of view of everyone and out of sight and mind for Shay.<br/><br/>He looked to the dark haired woman. "No. I just would like some food and a place to sit down for a few." He says seriously. He was lost but he wasn't going to walk somewhere else. Looking at her and shakes his head. "No. I don't. I have not been this far from the kingdom since I was a little kid." he says truthfully. Looking around again. He was of noble blood. Prince and heir to a throne but he was not going to say such. He looks at her. Wondering why she and everyone else was staring.<br/><br/>Surely they had not heard of the rebellious prince that he was. Highly unlikely. He looks at her and frowned. "Can I pay for some food? I don't plan to be going anywhere without some rest for my feet." He went to look over his shoulder when he heard the whizzing of a blade through air. His hand shot up and caught the thrown dagger mere inches from his face. Held it by both flat sides of it. He looks to the Oni. "I think you lost this. Allow me to return it to you." he says in a tone that was very unregal like. Rebellious even. He flipped the blade and launched it through the air with slight movements of his hand. The blade whizzed through the air and sunk into the Oni's hand. Blade point first.<br/><br/>He looks to her. "As I was asking...may I get some food and drink?" he asked in a soft, warm, light tone. It held a large air of mystery to him. The Oni screaming and yelling and cursing. Yet the expression on Shay's face did not falter or turn to disgust. He waited to hear her answer. Ignoring the fact eyes were on the elven male who just caught and threw the launched missile from the Oni back to him.
