As Lilium talked to Undol and the others near him, Undol watched the woman carefully, measuring her words. She had seemed pretty reliable so far, but the fact that she was a stranger still kept his trust in check somewhat. As she mentioned that he wouldn’t want Mirana to get hurt, he nodded his head in agreement.<br/><br/>The Lilliputian felt an urge to back away as the kitsune women lowered her face near him, but he repressed the feeling, knowing it was rarely in his best interests to seem intimidated. He still stepped back one foot unconsciously as Lilium’s voice began whispering down to him.<br/><br/><blockquote class="uncited"><div> Lilium leaned down, Whispering to Undol. "Just between you and I...the collie seems a bit odd. I wonder what his place was in all of this? He did start the little encounter...now he's wondering off with random members of the people we might be grouping with...the guy could be a real trouble maker. I'd hate to do it, But perhaps we should take care of him just to be on the safe side?" Lilium offered him a cute smile as if such conversations were the most common of affairs. Lilium retracted her head and tapped her muzzle deep in thought.</div></blockquote><br/><br/>As Undol listened to her explanation, his expression glanced over towards the door, slightly nodding his head as she whispered. However, when she got to the party about “taking care of him,” his expression froze for a moment. Were the Lilliputian normal sized, his current attitude could easily lead him to becoming violent towards someone he saw as a minor threat…but given the way he was, he really never gave much thought to the idea. The fact that he could work with someone like this opened up new possibilities with him. He replied back in a voice who’s volume was that of a quiet whisper, “Yes, he has been on my mind. He left behind a deck of cards earlier with some code on them, plus I saw him peeking through the window after he had left for a bit, a little before the attack…its pretty damn worrying how that could possibly be connected with things."<br/><br/>However, the thought occurred to him that he was beginning to fall into the kitsune’s pace, rather than staying in his own. The Lilliputian thought to himself,<span style="font-style: italic">well, she seems to be the most trustworthy one here along with the orc, though her pet worries me…</span>he paused his thoughts, then began silently berating himself, his face looking shameful for just a brief moment,<span style="font-style: italic">is my pride really weak enough to be damaged just by going along with a stranger’s plans, one who I had made the resolution to myself to work with? Well, she seems suspicious of the Collie too, which sort of confirms my earlier suspicions.</span><br/><br/>As Lilium drew her face away, Undol’s posture suddenly looked more relaxed. The man realized that he had unconsciously been tensing up with a stranger so close to him.<br/><br/><blockquote class="uncited"><div> "Of course, I don't think any of us really would want to do anything tonight but sleep after this little event, Though I think you are a bit too tiny to get fully acquainted with me Undol" Lilium flickered her tongue out, Making a crud sexual pun with the little guy before giggling softly. "Well, To be serious for a few moments. I agree we do need to get to know each other in a sense. I don't think I feel up to trusting everyone here blindly. Sadly its going to take more then fool hearted courage to battle Lesik"</div></blockquote><br/><br/>He listened on as the kitsune woman began suggesting that everyone rest first, even cracking a smirk at her sexual pun – he had heard jokes like that often, but he had learned to just go with the flow rather than get irritated over it.<br/><br/>He rubbed the back of his head as his expression took on a hint of resignation and said in his quiet voice, “You’re right, I suppose there’s not much need to get into plans right away…I feel more tired than I realized I was.” He reached his arms up, stretching. His face suddenly breaking into a grin as he realized he could wind down a bit, then added "Though, I wouldn't mind grabbing just a little something to drink before hitting the hay. It'd help calm the nerves, at least."<br/><br/>Though Undol realized the cook had been killed not too long ago and the place was in somewhat of a mess, the thought of just going back into a normal routine for a little bit was comforting to him.
