Nyx remained silent as Tiyala shared her thoughts on the three at the other table, the dragon's quiet glance over to the group the only sign she was paying attention to the elven woman's words.<br/><br/><span style="color: red"><span style="font-family: 'Courier New'">"Too smart or too scared to attack me, there is no difference. Also, it's poor behaviour to question the verbal skill of one whose tongue was spinning tales while you were still playing with blocks. Not all dragons are so merciful as I when the proper tact is not observed." </span></span><br/><br/>The dragon made sure to accompany her words with all the theatric flair of nobility. As if peasants should somehow be grateful for being treated as slightly better than dirt by the aristocracy. Following Tiyala as the elf got up, Nyx shrugged uncaring at her introduction.<br/><br/><span style="color: red"><span style="font-family: 'Courier New'">"Very well, Tiyala mortal. Let us see if your magecraft impresses the lot of them. If it doesn't, then I, Nyxilimnartren the great, will ensure you get to tag along. Isn't that benevolent and kind of me?"</span></span>The self-absorbed dragon let out a deep purr, reveling in whatever image she had of herself in that skull of hers while walking alongside Tiyala. Letting out a low growl as the woman introduced her as 'bitchy companion' to the group in front of them.<br/><br/><span style="color: red"><span style="font-family: 'Courier New'">"That those elven ears of yours don't..."</span></span>She began to reply to Tiyala before the wood elf in cleric garb nearly leapt out of her seat in excitement, rendering the dragon flabbergasted with her sheer naive energy. The arrogant creature replied slowly to Elsara's inquisitiveness, as if afraid the girl might explode from utter glee.<br/><br/><span style="color: red"><span style="font-family: 'Courier New'">"<i>Friends</i> is an awfully strong word forrrrrssssssssshhhhhgkrrrrr..."</span></span>The dragon's eyes went wide and she tensed up as woman completely caught her off-guard with a hug. A hint of smoke actually escaping the befuddled beast's lips, before letting the entire cloud out with a cough as Elsara released her.<br/><br/><span style="color: red"><span style="font-family: 'Courier New'"> "Devoid of any sensible fear and respect, are you daft, little mortal? What beseeches you to hug a person you have just met?"</span></span>The dragon grumbled before regaining her tempers. Looking through half-lidded eyes at the other two at the table before speaking calmly.<span style="color: red"><span style="font-family: 'Courier New'">"It's certainly memorable to meet you, mortal Elly, mortal Rani and mortal Exonius. I am Nyxilimnartren the great." </span></span><br/><br/>Bringing a hand up to her chest, Nyx continued with all the regal air you'd expect from her kind.<span style="color: red"><span style="font-family: 'Courier New'">"The Tiyala mortal is correct though, if slightly drunk and rude. We are keen for additional... <i>adventurers</i> to accompany us, and it is doubtless the three of you could benefit greatly from my presence."</span></span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
