Kahmori's charming smile only seems all the more enthralling upon closer inspection. Even the big kitsune's scent - a sort of deep, earthy scent, thought with a slight amount of 'sweetness' to it - was incredibly pleasant, despite being just slightly masked by the faint, lingering tang of blood from their earlier battle. The scent of his body washed over Brady like a summer breeze as he leans in a little bit more, smiling faintly "You're pretty sneaky! Normally notice folks hiding... Heck, if I couldn't smell you, I'd have never known you were there. Not bad!" A small praise, but one he meant, nonetheless.<br/><br/>Kahmori's charming smile fades the slightest bit when he notes the sort of...dreamy stare on the lizardgirl's face. Judging by the way she only seemed to half hear his introduction, he could only assume her mind was elsewhere, or perhaps her people had some sort of...different greeting methods. Cocking his head once more, he gazes over the iguan from his closer vantagepoint. She had not a single curve to her body, it seemed, but she still had a certain 'cuteness' about her that made her rather appealing. Whilst she lacked the voluptuous chest and delicious curves that Xali seemed to possess in spades, there was a sort of...innocent cuteness to her appearance that actually had the Kitsune's mind wandering a little bit. It seemed as if the girl was almost a polar opposite to the sexy leopardess that had been one of his two prior traveling companions.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">~Wonder what she looks like beneath that leather suit...~</span><br/><br/>Not now, Kahmori! Focus!!<br/><br/>Almost seeming to smile with his eyes as well as his mouth, he gives Brady's hands one last little shake before releasing them both, once more standing back to his full height before her.<br/><br/><blockquote class="uncited"><div> Kahimori! Please, that's a mental image I can do without just now. Don't forget that Alexei and I just ate!" </div></blockquote><br/><br/>Kahmori's ears both perk atop his head, his head turning to reguard Xali for a brief second. The admonishing tone in her voice causes his ears to wilt the slightest bit, a tiny, sheepish grin splitting his muzzle briefly "Oh! Er...right. I forgot. Sorry!" Both ears flatten against the top of his head apologetically, his teeth flashing once more in a little smile that had 'sorry' written all over it.<br/><br/><blockquote class="uncited"><div> "Nonsense! We mustn't delay an introduction,"  </div></blockquote><br/><br/>All three of the kitsune's slowly swishing tails flinch in surprize as a voice erupts from the little crystal that Brady had stowed away. His head snaps back to her, his eyes-blue eyes scanning her entire body for where in the HELL that voice had come from. When he spots the little, spindly-legged crystal perching atop her shoulder, his mouth opens....closes...he tilts his head to the side...then, his mouth opens again. Finally, he seems to find the mental ability to do something other than gawk at the crazy-looking spectacle, and like any curious kitsune should...he leans forwards and down, trying to get a closer look at the crystal sliver that had suddenly sprouted legs.<br/><br/>With every ounce of intelligence the rather stunned kitsune could muster, Kahmori states matter of factly as he examines the tiny...thing.. "....buh?'<br/><br/>Then, of course, reaches out to poke it.<br/><br/>"What...in the heck...is that thing?" He asks, curiosity practically dripping from his voice. His intense gaze remains locked on the little crystalline spider, one finger idly poking at the strange construct as he examines it as closely as Brady might allow. Both ears and all three tails twitch every time the little crystal flashes as it speaks, the little, open-mouthed look on the kitsune's face turning into a progressivly broadening grin as the little treasure fully absorbs every amount of his attention, at least for a few long seconds "...Hellloooooo, little rock-thing....?"<br/><br/><blockquote class="uncited"><div> "I mean, yeah, they're not exactly pleasant to begin with, but that was just plain nasty! He was kind of a pushover, though... I just kept stomping on him until he was in too many bits to heal himself." Brady almost visibly swells with pride as she describes her victory over the ghoul. </div></blockquote><br/><br/>It finally took the thought of ghoul-stomping to pull Kahmori's attention away from the little glowing crystal perched atop Brady's shoulder. His ears, once flattened in curiosity, once more televise his emotion as they perk right back up "Ghoul stomping? You know, that kinda sounds like a fun game! Kinda like gnome-punting, only it lasts longer - not as squishy" A light-hearted little chuckle escapes his throat, and he gives Brady a little, playful wink "I'll SOOOOO play you at a game of ghoul-stomping! Heck, if we find enough at this crypt? Can make a whole day of it!"<br/><br/><blockquote class="uncited"><div> "Tonight you are free to rest, I’ve already made arrangements for you to stay at The Shattered Talisman inside of town. Brady will show you to its location."<br/><br/>"The keep's armory is across the hall from Sura's room. Get yourself any equipment you’d assume you would need for the trip and then report to Sura. She has crafted a few items to help aid in your tasks." </div></blockquote><br/><br/>The mention of an Inn immediently draws Kahmori's attention "An Inn? Oooohhh, geez. You have no idea how incredibly wonderful that sounds. Going to feel so nice to sleep in an actual bed! Take a nice bath...and just relax." The thought was a refreshing one - actually getting to sleep on a nice, soft bed after a couple of weeks on the road. Sleeping in the back of a wagon and washing with stream-water was fine...but every once in a while, it was nice to have a good night's relaxation, and an equally nice bath to wash away the grime of travel.<br/><br/>Of course, the prospect of armor and equipment also sounded nice. He'd not known just how ill-prepared he was until the trip fully got under way. The thought to get some armor never crossed his mind - his tough skin had always kept him safe. Now, though...fighting could be a daily occurance. Even with thick hide, the chance of getting seriously injured - or killed - was very real, and pretty high. A bit of armor to ward off weapons didn't sound bad, and a few items to make travel a little easier was equally as welcome 'Equipment? Sounds good! Thanks alot, Helix. A change of clothes for the road doesn't sound like a half-bad idea." Not to mention, despite another change of clothing for himself...Vendra needed something to wear as well!<br/><br/>It took him a second to really notice the changes going on to the lizard-girl beside him. When he does finally notice, though..he takes a half-step back, his gaze immediently transfixed on her in curiosity and awe. What...in the hell?! Okay, this one was full of surprizes....and he really, REALLY liked that!<br/><br/>Staring wide-mouthed as the slow changes take place, Kahmori cannot help but wonder what, exactly, this strange lizard-girl was. She'd hidden herself pretty well...and now? Was growing a little, changing her hair, adding a few nice curves to herself....all in the span of a few seconds? Even so, those few new curves draw a little look of appreciation from the ever-lusty male....and, of course, send his mind to wandering again. Just what all sorts of curves COULD she give herself? The more lewd portion of his mind spins into overdrive, the mental image of her growing exactly to suit-<br/><br/>NO!! NONONO! Don't even get started, Kahmori! You can daydream about it later. Focus...equipment...magic items...Inn...bath...bed!!<br/><br/>Finally finding the ability to work his jaw again, Kahmori snaps it back shut, staring at Brady with wide eyes "....That..." He finally murmurs, his grin growing to encompass his entire face "...Was awesome as heck." Looking her over once more, he adds, a coy tone to his voice "...Not a bad look, either."<br/><br/>Smoothing a hand through his headfur, Kahmori gives Helix a little wave "Well! I guess we are off, then. Got the map and our guide...heck, give us a few days! We'll apply boot-to-butt to this necromancer, and be home in time for tea! We've got this!" Pumping his waveing-arm enthusiastically, he extends a hand towards the door, smirking at the key-holding Brady "Aaaaafter you! C'mon, Vendra...Let's see about getting you a bit of clothing, huh?"
