Xarius was thankful for the succubus' assistance, that much was clear, and while he did plan on making it up for her later, they had a long way to go until such things would ever come to fruition. The contents of the cell Xarius proceeds to open, where anything but spectacular, a solitary male drow sits chained against the wall. Nothing quite as impressive as the catboy had silently hoped to encounter, what with the guards taking the precaution to chain them after only a day or so at sea. He'd expected the other prisoners to be completely monstrous, or otherwise extraordinary...not well this.<br/><br/>Allowing Delia to slip by as Xarius eyes the chained man, the feline only interjects once she's had time to say her piece. "It's no wonder you found yourself locked away, if ya don't have the sense to tell a real guard from a fake...for one my devilish good looks should be a dead give away, compared to the lot I've seen who're in charge of guarding this vessel..." he teases with a smirk " and besides, if I was a real guard,   I'd of already gone about fattening your lip by this point, if my past experience with the staff of this lovely vessel and the way they treat their wordy prisoners is any indication... no, the actual guard is locked away in our place you see, and, I'd be a fool to let the gift of free armor a weapon, and a lovely set of keys go to waste now wouldn't I." the catboy smirks, with a swift swish of his tail. "Though if my appearance fooled you, perhaps the other guards will be less inclined to bother me at first glance if I'm discovered." he murmurs hopefully.<br/><br/>Perking his feline ears to the drow's mention of obtaining a knife Xarius sighs "If only, the guard we dealt with had a sword and that was all, not my preferred weapon either I'm afraid.... though it's a great deal better than being unarmed. Delia has her charms so she's not too bad off without a weapon at least." he comments with a complimenting smile in the succubus' direction. "and while I could always attempt to seduce the guards as well..." he chuckles at the idea "Well, lets just say, I'd rather not leave it to that if it can be avoided."<br/><br/>The drow at least, did not seem to be overtly hostile towards them, despite appearing wary in Delia's presence. Though given how easily she'd wrapped the previous owner of the armor Xarius was wearing, around her finger, that was likely for the best. The mention that he'd been brought aboard with another prisoner, a woman that shared Delia's culinary preference perked his interest. "Oh? your already acquainted with one of the other prisoners then?" he asks, curious to learn more, though the sudden strong impact to the wall only perks his interest further. Whatever she was, she was clearly quite strong, even if he were to throw his shoulder into the wall, he doubted he'd get as much of a response as she'd just gotten.<br/><br/>The drow didn't seem to be too eager to hurt...or double cross them, and he'd have to be a fool to try and do so while they where still prisoners aboard a guarded ship. With Delia in the room with him, Xarius knew he'd be even less likely to try and pull anything, even if he wanted. With a smile Xarius takes a step toward the drow "I tell ya what..it's pretty clear neither of us want to be miners for the rest of our lives....and while we're all in this together whether we like it or not, you promise to work with us in getting off this vessel, and I'll do ya the favor of unchaining you from that there wall, as well as your rambunctious female companion in the adjoining cell, and if we happen to come upon any knives or daggers along the way your free to have em."
