Arkain slows down quickly thinking about what you asked. He waits for you to catch up to him looking around at the green latex walls uneasily. "Sorry about that Reiko. That was rude of me to run off like that. I was just having fun. "He rubs the pendant again" Yea, I got this pendant years ago from a dragon.for saving his life. It use to containt a healing elixer but now it empty. I don't need  it anymore. My healing powers have grown way beyond the need for elixer. But I can never take it off either. Its cursed. It was cursed by an evil creature that I tried to get it back when it was stolen by a fox. If it comes off it releases an evil creature of awful power whose only thought is to get back the pendant and consume the one who took it. It kills anything in its way. "He sighs sadly..He looks at you. His eyes light and  he smiles. "Ahhh.... thank you for the complement back there. I definatly like the way you look in that outfit. It looks very good on you." HE looks around some more. He slows down even more.<br/>"The latex creature? I know. I am ashamed. I lost myself there for a minute. It brought back memories. I have been around latex before. I have even been surrounded in it. It was quite soft and cool against the body and it was extrememly pleasureable. But that was a long time ago and it wasn't anything like this stuff. Who ever made this stuff, had other objective in mind other than making it pleasureable. They made a living creature from the latex. I think one is good like the one we just met and the other is insane. " He moves close to you." It upset me for him to leave becuase he was made of latex. He was so unique. I would have liked to have met him. I guess I have always had a weakness for latex since I was wrapped in it. Plus having someone like him who can walk over latex and, I bet, control latex would have been a great ali to have on our side. You saw what happened to Coe when he touched it." He looks at you and carrasses you face gently. "Everything is fine now, Reiko. I am OK. I have new motivation to get out of here. " You want to know what it is? Its to get to know you better. Ina more..humm..Intamite enviorment." He smiles and runs his hand  gently under your chin. "So lets find Umiriko and hopefully Coe and get the heck out of this place."<br/>Arkain looks around at the machines. He shivers nervously. "I don't like this place one bit. You hear that beat to that machine over there. It sounds like a heartbeat. It almost feels like it living. This must be the heart of the place. Why isn't it protected? OOhh crap. We got to get out of here, NOW. " HE looks around for a way out. He sees the fallen grate and then sees the ceiling hole. "Up there. Through that hole in the ceiling. Lets go that way at least its going up." HE looks around trying to figure out how to get up there..
