Zedd Witlock -- One little, two little, three little deities...<br/><br/>The soft-eyed beauty peeked out from behind her hiding spot and slowly made her way over to them, clearly ready to bolt at the first sign of trouble. Zedd could hardly blame her; with Talos standing anywhere near at all, he wanted to be somewhere else. He glanced over and nudged Feldor softly on the arm after the Elf welcomed the young woman into their company. "Smooth as buttered glass, you are, eh, amigo?" Zedd murmured with an amused glint in his eyes.<br/><br/>Upon Feldor's declaration of the identities of both Zedd's and the young lady's patron deities, Zedd was considerably impressed. That Talos had done the same earlier held little mystery; if he truly had been dredged up from Tartarus as he claimed, then naturally he would have some manner of ghostly or augmented sense of the presence of the gods. But for someone living to detect the faint traces of a divine touch was rather remarkable. It spoke of much greater acumen and a far more delicate control over magical energies than Zedd had originally given Feldor credit for, and that was saying something. He would definitely have to find time to take the Elf up on his offer for lessons.<br/><br/>He shoved his hands back into his deep pockets and stepped around to Feldor's other side, distancing himself a little more from the muscle-bound Talos; the (dead? Undead?) warrior had rather pointedly not extended a handshake toward Zedd, and that was just fine with him. Zedd was a lot of things, but a warrior was not one of them, and he had neither need nor wish for 'a warrior's respect'. Just plain respect would do, and Talos plainly had little of that to offer anyone. It was unfortunately clear that the two would probably not get along well. Then again, Zedd had trouble imagining anyone Talos would get along with.<br/><br/>It was also clear that the poor girl was more than a little shaken by Talos' words. He offered her his hand and moved a little in front of her, trying to block the great man-mountain from her sight. "Don't worry, senorita; so far he is, how you say, all bark," Zedd said with a hint of a playful grin. He glanced over at Feldor again and nodded. "Like I said...definitely more coming." Overhead, the sound of a raven's call high in the boughs filtered down below, and Zedd glanced skyward.<br/><br/><strong><br/>Caw! Caw!<br/><br/>Caw! Caw!<br/><br/>Caw! Caw!<br/><br/>Caw!<br/></strong><br/><br/>There was no sight of the bird, only the wide open sky. Zedd blinked away the brightness and brought his attentions back down to earth.<em>'Yep. Definitely more coming...'</em>
