The blush that had taken her dark cheeks actually turned her ebon skin a shade darker still as her brown eyes twinkled as well before she slowly nodded after listening to his explanation.  The fact that the smell hung in the air if his estimate was true did make Giselle wonder just what had been fired off if it still lingered, but since the smell of blood and death was nowhere near present she pushed the thought aside as she stood beside the human, earning a few odd looks considering she was one of the few non humans most of these men had yet to see....for the moment.  "I did enjoy the ride on your Harley bike, thank you.  I've ridden horses, wild and untamed, ridden on the backs of mighty griffons, and plenty of other creatures besides but that was nothing in comparison.  As for me pressed up against your back.....uh...."  She floundered to find the right words, suddenly aware of what he had had to put up with as her cheeks turned even darker still somehow as she quickly looked away.  It had seemed....so right at the time, as if they had done so countless times before.  She hadn't minded at all, and...apparently he hadn't either.<br/><br/>She was no stranger to love, but it never had lasted for her.  Three bad relationships at some point or another had made the warrior guard her heart tightly in these times, but Kyle was slipping through her defenses as surely as any skilled warrior.  It was too early to tell of course, but a part of her was wanting to do more than simply press against his back.  Shaking the thoughts away silently, Giselle turned to the human and shrugged, wondering if calling her two twin brothers out here would be a good idea or not.  Seth and David would gladly come to aid this town, that she had no doubt about.  It was getting them to leave afterward that would be the problem once their jobs were done.  She'd keep her options open for now, learning more about this place before making any concrete decisions on the matter.  Zelith had already promised his aid anyway, and she'd probably be best served to ask him first before doing anything of the sort so she didn't get in his way.<br/><br/>"At any rate, what do you think will happen here?  From what I can tell, these people we are about to see seem a little too....excitable to be safely around."  Trigger happy would have been a bit more of an accurate description, if Giselle had known what it meant, let alone such a phrase existed.  Still, she wasn't about to pass judgment or assume anything, just she was making an observation and her tone said as much as well.<br/><br/><em><strong>The human condition.</strong><br/><br/>Out of all of the races I have encountered, none are as diverse or as chaotic in their own fashion as humanity.  Dwarves, elves, orcs, goblins, and countless others, while there are exceptions to every race, are generally the same, but it is humans that seem to range from one end of the spectrum to the other.  Physical appearance, personality, ideals, religious beliefs, and countless other factors all make up this one short lived race into the whole that is hard to understand at times and to predict their actions without careful observation, and even then one cannot be a hundred percent sure of where any one encounter might lead to.  Still, due to the fact that they are so short lived compared to dwarves, halfings, or even elves, both light and dark, they live their lives fully in pursuit of their goals and full of passion for the world around them, those that truly understand their lot in the grand scheme of things that is.<br/><br/>While I have fought and defeated, often times killed evil people of this same species, there are far more good willed people just trying to get by as best they can.  Others like my father's arch rival, the 'dark half in the mirror', Artemis Entreri, seek only to further their own selfish goals at the expense of others and their lives often times.  It is people like this that need fear what they cannot see in the dark, because I'll be there to right their wrongs, whirling scimitars in hand.</em>
