Arlokk nodded a bit as he helped her up.<span style="color: darkgreen">"Sorry, my power spikes this close to my old temple and I'm still learning to channel this Night Elven power... Forget I said that, actually." </span>He looked at his hands for a moment and burned away the blood then returned his attention to the Troll.<span style="color: darkgreen"> "My parents had a thing for Trolls, they raised me out here and named me after the god. Come on, my wife and I working on building our new home here, we've got a human that lives with us that's about your size so we should have something for you to change in to. And there's a river not too far away for you to bathe."</span>He stood up and offered her a hand.<span style="color: darkgreen">"That tiger is your guardian angel, you should keep him around."</span><br/><br/>Ras stepped away from the dragon and let out a sigh. "No, I'm not going to hit you again. I didn't want to hit you the first time but I let my anger get the better of me."  He wrapped his arms around Eru and moved over to one of the tables. "I feel... look, I'm an asshole. I'll be the first to admit, I'm short-sighted, quick to anger, and I've let my power go to my head, and when I'm not power tripping I'm letting my pride get in the way of my true feelings. I'm sorry, for the way I spoke to you, the way I treated you, and your brother is going to be fine. His mother stopped me from doing something I'd regret and took him away to wipe his memories." He held Eru in silence for a moment then looked up at the dragon. "I would like to be friends with you and your mother, I do want to fuck you though more out of curiosity than lust, but I need friends, I need... I need a lot of things and the way I'm living my life I'll never get that."<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
