<div class="floatright">(https://i.imgur.com/Pz0PdJb.png)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Alsiel Dalim (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=347305.msg16352863#msg16352863)<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Expedition Camp - Outskirts<br/><strong>Warnings:</strong><br/><br/><strong>Open/Closed:</strong>Open<br/><strong>Direct Interaction Tags:</strong>Nerissa, Mathis<br/><strong>Mentioned Tags:</strong>None<br/><strong>Actions Taken:</strong>Idle banter, controlling NPC Frederick.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>"Why? It males people give me personal space, I can't ask for much more than that in my daily life. See, I'm not really much of a people-person." He could understand why Nerissa seemed puzzled by this, given how she seemed to be more of a social butterfly than he could ever be. At the least, she seemed to interact easily... "Anyway, it's just who I am, that's all there is to it... As for your tail, it's no trouble. I admit I was in the wrong for it. Just because I can be a jerk doesn't mean I won't admit when I'm wrong." He shrugged, guiding his hands behind his head.<br/><br/>"No, I have nothing against Beastblooded, or any race for that matter. Once upon a time, I might have had misgivings toward Haldes, but It's only one specific one that has my ire, and I learned not to condemn them all... Good thing too, otherwise I'd probably have a cell in a stockade somewhere just for me... Or worse, a noose in some forgotten gallows." He said such dark things without a care for his being, perhaps he loved a more carefree life than most... Either that, or he'd seem enough things that caused him to care less about the world.<br/><br/>Something about out this Beastblooded seemed odd to Alsiel, or maybe he just wasn't used to one so energetic and bubbly. "You... Don't have to make it such about out this challenge to remember my name, you know. It's just... Ugh, nevermind." It was easy to forget they weren't alone with their bit with Mathis still standing around, being wary of any kind of trouble that the gunman might have been making.<br/><br/>"Forgettable, are you? Heh, don't try and play that card with me. Someone forgettable wouldn't make me pull out my more-serious abilities." Alsiel folded his arms and regarded the smaller male. He hadn't seen many outside of his Clan who used magics that could sacrifice their lifeforce for greater power... And a swordsman, no less. It was a rather exhilarating encounter to go Gun versus Sword with the guy, even though it made him temporarily lose the bounty he'd been chasing that day. "Heh, understandable. I wouldn't even trust me completely, so you've got a good head on your shoulders." He wasn't interested in pursuing any antagonism with the guy right now; He'd be no better than those drunkards in the camp otherwise.<br/><br/>Compared to him, Mathis addressed the woman with a notably softer tone, drawing a quiet snort from him. This one was a real ladykiller, he bet. Knew how to talk to women better than Alsiel did... Or at least the women Alsiel talked better to were usually the kind one could pick up at an establishment for a night, usually after a couple glasses or something uplifting.<br/><br/>He had to hand it to the guy, he got to the heart of the matter faster than he probably would have... So Nerissa lost some sort of talisman, likely from when he saw her emerge screaming from the bushes. "You probably just left it near whatever watering hole you used to wash up at. Go check there and... Eh?" Alsiel's brow twitched in annoyance as he watched the Beastblooded woman start to look as if she wanted to ask him to look for it. "Ohhh no, hell no. Don't think I fall for looks like that, I don't do charity work." Alsiel grunted and made his stance clear... Before he caught Mathis looking at him. "What the hell? Look, if you want to play Nice Guy, by all means help the pretty face, but don't go getting me dragged into this, I don't have time for this." Alsiel shook his head and prepared to walk away... Until he stopped to see Frederick approaching with the Bog-Hoggle in his arms, chewing on bread.<br/><br/>^"Oh, don't be that way, Al. All you have is guard duty right now, and you said it yourself, it's boring. So go ahead and take the time to help them find her talisman, I'm sure shell appreciate it!"^ Frederick spoke with a knowing smile despite Alsiel's scowl.<br/><br/>"... Tch, fine, fine, I know when I'm outnumbered and I can't just gun my problems down. I'll help look too... Better move fast though, looks like bad weather is moving in little by little." the blue-haired male nodded toward the dark clouds in the distance, which had drawn ever closer compared to before.
