Xarces looks to the vixen curiously "An entrance and retrieval expert hmmm? kidnapper?" he repeats letting this soak in for a bit, though would quickly smile to her as he states " I have no doubt your skills shall come in handy in the future. and I eagerly look forward to seeing what you can do." he comments shooting her the subtlest of winks, though he would not dwell on the fact he meant that in more ways then one.<br/><br/>"As for the Gorilla thing, Shaklik told me of a number of creatures the lizardfolk keep. From the sounds most of them are kept at the temple, so it is unlikely you would have seen them unless they took you there. From the sounds, that would likely end with you as a sacrifice, or perhaps even a meal for the high priestess herself." The bard would speak casually of this information having done his best to absorb  all that he could of the outside world during his time spent within the lizardess' gut.  "Although it is likely that the particular creature could have been recently captured, perhaps that explains why it was kept in the blackscale encampment?" he muses.<br/><br/>When Alizome speaks of learning the courtesan job Xarces would add in "I agree that is interesting you have been able to be successful in that particular field, if anything you should be commended  for it. I myself often perform the role of traveling entertainer when I am not off adventuring or implementing any of the other skills I have picked up along the way. Music and song, magic and slight of hand, acting and dancing, story telling, you name it and I have likely done it. Of course these are not the only methods of pleasing others that I am proficient in...." his voice assuming a slight air of seduction as he looks to her with lustful intent, though he quickly reverts back to his original demeanor without another word spoken on the subject, perhaps he was simply testing the waters.
