A rather indignant sound came forth from Kanz as he peered upwards at the shape – some amount of pale yellow light spilling forth from the inside of the pub helping to illuminate her figure, and show that she was most certainly a she. ‘Perhaps you are just very tall – have you ever thought of that hmm?’ he said as he picked at one rather long and curved crimson thorn that had got imbedded in the back of his slightly hairy forearm. ‘But of course not – far be it for a human to be that open minded, and to believe that they might not actually be the centre of the universe’ he muttered without any particular amount of venom to himself.<br/><br/>Leaning to one side, he peered around the girls body to look at the fire – nodding without a hint of satisfaction before he moved to meet her gaze once more and noted that she was, for lack of a better word, sizing him up. ‘That I did – and trust me, you’d be thanking me if you knew what I was initially asked to, or the reason why I did this instead… I’m hoping everyone is out of the pub by now?’ he asked, rather urgently in fact, as he once more leaned to peer around her at the assembled masses.<br/><br/>Kanz looked rather confused as she asked him if he was pretending to be a… what had she called him? A hobbit? ‘I’ve no idea what one of those is, but I can assure you that I am pretending to be nothing other than what I am. And what I am, I mean who I am, is Kanz. And were I not riddled with several rather sharp spikes, and in the immediate vicinity of a rather murderous creature that will no doubt come looking for me when it realises everyone has left the pub, I would say it was a pleasure to meet you.’<br/><br/>He raised one eyebrow, and sighed rather melodramatically as she pointed out the rather obvious fact that he had rather a large collection of bags hung around his waist. ‘A very good spot indeed – my, you must have the eyes of an eagle to have spotted so minor a detail as…’ he stopped, and pinched the bridge of his nose with the forefinger and thumb of his right hand, closing his eyes and shaking his head as he did so. ‘… sorry, I’m being snappy and rude. I apologise.’<br/><br/>Kanz looked rather quizzically at the hand offered towards him, before nodding and reaching out with his own for it – letting himself be guided free from what remained of the rose bush that still seemed rather reluctant to relinquish its hold upon him. ‘Yes, quite a tangle indeed… I thank you for rescuing me from it, but if you don’t mind I think I should be saying goodbye and getting as far away from her as possible before a rather irate… Never mind – suffice it to say, that with the pub empty you should be safe. For now at the very least…’
