Once Morigan came outside, Calun'hai knew the journey was going to be more difficult than the brief conversations he'd had with her. While dressed suitably for riding, he still felt she was over dressed for the travels to come, especially with her jewels and tiara in plain sight. "Princess, I think it would be better if you were to put your valuables out of sight. It will make the journey much safer, as we would not need to worry about some fool trying to steal them and me having to hurt him to stop it." Pausing as he then looked towards the crowd that was slowly gathering, Calun'hai paled under his robe. "Princess, we must hurry." he says, taking the reins of her horse and walking with it, just as the words of the crowd grew louder.<i>"Animal whore"</i>came someone's voice over the rest, and soon followed by more insults,<i>"Sick freak", "Abomination", "Turned her back on us", "Sleeping with the ones who want to rape and kill us"</i>.<br/><br/>Suddenly, while he still had his back to the crowd as he tried to guide the Princess away, a large piece of rotting food hit him in the back. From under his hood came a rather loud growl, though it would not have been heard by the commoners. "Someone told them you were leaving to come to our people." he says sourly, "I will not be responsible for what happens if they attack me again." As more food began to come in their direction, the apparent-human turned and glared at the crowd before rolling his shoulders, his size growing quite rapidly as he returned to his natural form. "Your Princess agreed to do this, of her own free will, as a means to try and cement peace between our peoples. She was not forced, but given the choice. Her answer had no actual bearing on the outcome of the talks, only that she alone made her decision to come or not." he says, "But the next one to throw something at me will see that even unarmed messengers are allowed defend themselves from attack with whatever they have at hand. I am never defenceless."<br/><br/>A rock pelted him on the side of the head, and he leapt at the thrower, picking him up by the arm with such force it dislocated his shoulder. "I could kill you, and by your laws, not mine, it is legal. That rock would have killed a human, so think." he growls to him dropping him roughly before returning to the princess. "Let us move before there is any more trouble." he says, though worded as an instruction, his tone indicated it was a request.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
