Xarces can see the wheels in the vulpine's head turning as he speaks at length to her of his own methods, lifestyle and the like, something he would of rather not done, but then it was not a normal occurrence for his slightest of advances in the forms of mere compliments,  to be met with resistance from the peanut gallery which shed his actions in a negative light. Needless to say Xarces would not be forgetting Alizome's intrusions into what should have been a harmless act of flattery, and yet he would not hold it against her either. "Just know, I do realize our chosen paths in life are quite the opposite for your line of work would seem to only brings misery to those you come across....that being said I do not believe you as a person do the same." he simply states with a friendly smile as he meant no harm by it.<br/><br/>Upon exiting the hut Xarces sets his eyes on Shaklik immediately, smiling  as he makes his way over to her side, leaning down to place a light kiss upon her cheek.He would then speak softly to her in draconic<span style="font-style: italic"> "These two are members of the previous group sent out by our employer.....you don't recall if there where any other survivors do you my sweet?" </span>he asks her in a hushed tone not wanting to bring any distressing news to the newly freed duo if he could help it.<br/><br/>Upon hearing the commotion behind him Xarces would turn in place. It would appear that the gnoll had finally come too "Good morning sleepy head, how nice of you to join us." the bard smirks looking to Jule's in turn "Perhaps you have something to lessen the gnoll's pain?" he asks politely though would not dwell on the newly awoken being too much, allowing him plenty of time to come to his senses before speaking once more. What's more he realizes that Synys has changed forms since he left her behind, as instead of the vulpine he had seen earlier, stood a human woman. ( Interesting.....I wonder if she would rather the others not know of her other form?...) he wonders though decides to leave that entirely up to her as he instead introduces himself to the groggy gnoll "Name's Xarces by the way, and as for your things, perhaps they would be within the hut as well, seeing as how Synys found her's there easily enough." The celestial turns to face the others "Now then, I am sure everyone can take care of introducing themselves, but I am curious to hear more about your own set of skills.....err..mr gnoll?..." he states realizing he did not even have a name to place with the creature.
