Looking with an appreciative awe at the buildings much more grand than the simple buildings from his home, Teran kept his hands behind his back while he looked at the portal and building surrounding it. Tasting the air and it’s metallic tang, tongue rolling around his cheek while he watched the people start to gather in. Each of his movements a careful step towards the slowly gathering crowd. He had no doubt each of these people would leave him for dead, the elves as noble as they like to appear were just as base in that instinct as the most primal of animals. Teran thought it was cute actually, a thought that he hated of himself. Too much time with these elves had made his mind drift in manipulative ways toying with thoughts are using those around him. How little the elders knew of these elves. Though Teran never shared these thoughts and was careful to guard his face from showing such emotions, rather his visage was that of a simple mountain dweller, the perfect caricature of his people but with enough self respect to wear a suit and stand at attention. Between his leg and his kind attitude no one in the group has reason to suspect him of anything besides the selfish intention of finding his own glory, if not less than that.<br/><br/><br/>As the Rittmeister entered the room the towering man lined himself up next to the tallest in the group which he still stood over with his horns, the bullman lowered himself slightly as to keep below the Rittmeister as she spoke a careful motion he had no intention of hiding. Infact to the contrary he made sure she had seen the action, more as a gesture of good graces, something carefully planned. Teran listened carefully to every one of her words and held his hands behind his back for the whole presentation. Then as she spoke her last three words his knees extended and he was full height. His shoulders at most others heads, taking up as much space as two other people. As he was dismissed his hooved feet clattered away from the gathering, making sure to stay at least an arm’s length from any of the female members of this expedition.<br/><br/><br/>Though Teran turned on his heel as the others spoke up to ‘introduce’ themselves. In all honesty the display was more of an ego competition than an introduction, or maybe a justification. Elves trying to make themselves sound useful enough to be kept alive long enough for those who matter to get home. Teran waited for his own chance and cleared his throat. “ Hello, my name is Teran Kar, it is with the utmost pleasure I introduce myself to all of you” His bright smile lit up the room and he rubbed the back of his head bashfully.<br/><br/><br/>[Teutari]<span style="color: #00ffff">“I look forward to working with each and every one of you, I will be this expositions translator and diplomat. Please come to me if there are any misunderstandings among you.”</span><br/><br/><br/>With that Teran looked at Grobk and Faye flashing them another one of his perfectly white smiles, teeth held only slightly apart his eyes flared with a certain passion [Teutari]<span style="color: #4dffff">“You both can perform arcane acts am I correct? It would be a great honor to see what both of you can do. And to you-” </span>Looking at Gorbk directly now.<span style="color: #4dffff">“I would also find it a riveting way to pass the next few hours to learn about this history you mentioned, I am somewhat of a scholar myself.”</span>During this exchange Teran did not so much as look at Faye. His eyes never met hers, his words may be directed at her but for all his calculated demeanor his one weakness seemed to shine through above all else.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
