Ehko pulled his arm free from his shield, the unmoving mesh of canopy that had been his shield. His hand from the elbow down looked raw and tender, no rough bark like skin like the rest of his visible body, and since he was naked, that is just about all of him. Ehko's eyes darted from one person In the room to the next, trying to find someone Alice. 'Where did she go?' he wondered in his own head. The person closest to him was the white knight who seemed to be talking to him. Maybe making the worst impression someone could. The white knight had raped Alice, no matter how to looked at it that alone made it unforgivable, regardless of how you justified it they would both be better off dead than defiled in such a way. It was horrible to think the person next to him had done that.<br/><br/>However, Justifiable reasons for well, forced sex were passable. Not everyone shared his views and as such were not held to the same rules Ehko forced upon himself. The white knight had good intentions, he wanted to help. Or was he in on this? No too complicated, there would be no reason for that. The white knight had every intention of helping Alice escape. In about five seconds Ehko had changed his opinion of the white knight. “We can talk when we're safe” The dryad roared over the call of battle and moved backwards with his back towards the portal into the unknown.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>The water took him over like a rock, letting the cold embrace of the liquid life seep into his roots, bringing life into his body, filling him with powerful regurgitation. Looking more like a dead person with his arms crossed over his chest laying with his eyes close an a peaceful look on his face when everyone else was standing and taking in their surroundings Ehko had taken a little rest.  Standing up slowly like he was being pulled by strings he gave a soft groan with a stretch. Looking at the area around him. His eyes wondering over the world around him. His pupils dilated and zoned out going into his deep though, starting to speak his thoughts aloud.<br/><br/>“Fish, underwater. Buildings, mere people, on ocean? A whole new world? This is strange, friendly, no demons trying to kill us is nice.” Eying the mere maids “Scale for protection or adornment, strange to have them at all, they don't help when it comes to larger predators. Mating perhaps? Yes colour and shine must show beauty. Insufficient observations.” smiling however as his pupils returned to their normal size and looked the mere maid  with renewed interest. Though as others started to speak he had to cover his face with his hand. “I am sorry for my and my friends rudeness, miss?” Leaving his question open for her to give her own name for him. “My name is Ehko, I haven't exactly gotten the names of my friends but I'm honored to meet such a wonderful woman like yourself. Do you have a city or town near by we make take refuge?”<br/><br/>Look directly at the white knight and blinking twice. “Please refrain from comparing beautiful women like Alice and our new friend's breasts to your mothers breasts. I would not put it on the top of my list of things to say to women I want to impress.” Being very blatant in his attempts to flirt with the both Alice and the mere woman.<br/><br/>Walking towards Alice and making his signature flower grow out of his palm, which still seemed tender and painfully raw he handed the colourful petals to the nymph. “I'm sorry I could not do more for you in the dungeon.” His voice full of Ernest remorse he could not do enough.<br/><br/>A hand on his hip, Ehko seems all to comfortable with his nudeness, his flaccid mammoth swaying around in the water like he happier without clothing on. Looking around the group he seemed to look at everyone with a fairly happy smile. He didn't dislike anyone in this group, besides maybe the unnatural nymph that had shown corruption for the natural world such a thing would be more than frowned upon by his people, desecrating bodies, killing defenseless grunts, defiling natural substance with corruption. Yet Ehko held no ill feeling for the corrupted nymph, he too had done things that his people frowned upon, it was fair to give the girl a chance before judging her. Even the drider who was sleeping with the bee girl, though he knew nothing good could come from that he would deal with that in time nothing really seemed to bother him so he turned his attention back to the group which seemed to be planning things.<br/><br/>“So you knew we were coming?” Ehko asked idle while pacing around his body moving slower as he took in every detail, time seeming to slow for him, while his actions slowed for everyone else. “What are you planning on doing with us? Surely you can't keep us here, demons are looking for us. There is no doubt in my mind they will be killing anyone in their way,” Crossing his arms, again, the member between his legs just swaying around  almost comically, though with the scent of the bee girl and Ehko's own warming sensation the swaying might have been more sexual than comical to everyone looking at him.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
