The fact that their ruse hasn't come undone despite mistakes was good news. He didn't say a word about what was said as she then continued on like naught had happened. Darius would let her continue with her words. And truth be told he was glad to have done do because he laughed a touch at the jest of his prowess with her.<strong>"Besides making a concubine become immodest?"</strong>He took a moment to clear his throat with some water and would oblige her curiosity.<strong>"I would rather show than tell if you don't mind the theatrics."</strong><br/><br/>First he took a moment to quietly invoke his innate magic and cups his hand to his mouth. Slowly he blew into it to catch a small flame.<strong>"I can breathe fire... just barely. Seems I'm more noble than I knew myself to be. And I have been blessed with some small magic."</strong>he said exposing his hand to Takxi. One would note that his palm doesn't burn under the touch. This was something no one knew the Hellhound could do as he never showed it off, and thus his sorcery was essentially part of this ruse of his.<strong>"Against a swarm of scorpions it came in handy. But I have some refined skills as a swordsman."</strong>
