Matrim watched the newcomer warily he was much to polite. His offer to buy the tiger was quickly replaced with apologies, so either he had no balls or he had other plans. Matrim flexed his fingers ready to act in an instant as the man made to leave stopping abruptly as a halfling placed a bizarre buzzing item to his back demanding an apology for something, Matrim had no idea what. Matrim chuckled, he liked this halfling.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"You realize that if you harm me, a much poorer fate than your current awaits you." He threatened the Gnome, though it was a threat he didn't plan on acting on. "Nevertheless, I suppose an, apology, is in order."<br/><br/>Carelza's demeanor changes instantly, a big smile suddenly plastered on a beamingly happy face. "Goodie! Apology accepted."</span><br/><br/>"Shoulda deep fry'ed him." Matrim muttered under his breath as he watched the halfling switch from "Murder Mode" to "Cute Kitty Mode". Matrim grinned at Gra'Zir apologetically, it was a crime a creature with a tongue like his was interrupted so frequently. Matrim glanced at the strange man with interest as he approached the group. Now something interesting was happening.<br/><br/>"You, adventurers! I have a request for all of you." The man like figure spoke confidently as he approached. Matrim smiled politely at the strange figure in front of him and rested a hand on Gra'Zir's arm.<br/><br/>"Now, now Gra'Zir no need to point you weaponry at this strange figure. He may have some of this silver you wish for." Matrim spared a glance and a grin at Leera before turning his attention to the interesting creature in front of him.<br/><br/>"Hello, my name is Matrim." Matrim speaks politely and motions to Gra'Zir, Leera, and Embre in turn as he introduces them.<br/><br/>"This furry man with the rapier is Gra'Zir. This beautiful maiden is Leera. The powerful tiger next to her is her companion Embre. You can disregard the horribly inept tiger merchant he was just leaving. As for the extremely hyper halfling with the strange weapon, I mean to ask you about those later, she will have to introduce herself." Matrim smiled and turned back to the stranger his hand resting on his rapier hilt.<br/><br/>"Now What did you say your name was." Matrim's voice had a slight edge to it this time.
