<strong>Dalen Black, Human Trickster</strong>(http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=856633)<div class="floatright">(http://)</div><br/>Dalen listened to Noemi seriously, paying attention to both her words and her tone, and found himself facing a choice to either accept things as they were, or arguing about them with Noemi. Experience had instilled some instincts for when it was better to back away, and right now they seemed to scream at him to not provoke her further. It was apparent that the opportunity for certain games only happened at her terms and her timing. He had focused on something else, and now he was paying for it then. He considered what he might have said in reply, but religion was not one of his strong points and he decided that it was an uphill battle he was unlikely to win.<br/><br/>He backed away after a brief nod to Noemi, moving back to his own chest to start to dress then. Seeing as Lilith had other things going on he hadn't bothered to go ask her to cast a spell for him to wash up before dressing. That in turn didn't exactly leave him in the best of moods and he felt he'd need to shower or bathe properly later on, but for the time being he was mostly just gathering what was his, and getting ready for work. All work and no play it seemed, but then again the choice had been his for a moment there, had it not? He simply chose to smile at that thought, and let it pass out of the way as he got himself dressed.<br/><br/>Moving ahead to assist Lilith with getting the tent ready, and keeping a bit of distance to both her and Noemi, Dalen remained quiet that point on. He simply choes to carry out his part in setting up the tent, moving as instructed and putting to use what little he had heard of knots while aboard the ship. His expression remaining neutral as he was thinking about the circumstances. Three out of four might be present at the tent for now, but he figured Arafel would return in time. In the meanwhile, he had taken up looking around at the tent, nodding his head approvingly. Lilith certainly had stored up useful items among her belongings.<br/><br/>Listening to the other two idly at the time while thinking about the vengeance that lay ahead, Dalen was caught slightly by surprise at the offered canteen and rations. Nodding his head in acceptance, he took the share she had offered him while speaking a few words.<strong>"Thank you for your hospitality."</strong>It was all he was going to say for the time being though. Eating quietly and taking a sip of the water, he listened to what was spoken. Lilith's words about tests sounded right, and the trickster closed his eyes while inhaling deeply and allowing a brief sigh. As comfortable as the pavillion seemed, he figured it was better to go outside to let his head cool anyway.<strong>"I'll take first watch."</strong><br/><br/>Having said that much, he got up to head out without really waiting for a reply. He considered his eyes fairly good at noticing trouble in time to dodge it, and right now he needed to think, doing that while allowing his eyes to roam for any signs of trouble seemed fair enough. Dalen made some way away from the pavillion, taking a seat and watching the distance. Ears open for any sounds that might stand out amidst the natural surroundings, and his eyes kept watch for a change in their surroundings, any hint of an approaching threat. Though with the different thoughts dancing on his mind, just how alert he would be at a given time would remain to be seen.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">Unless someone comes to relieve him from his shift, its safe to assume Dalen stays outside for the rest of the night allowing others to sleep. If Arafen drops by, he'll simply nod towards the tent and sit outside thinking and watching the ground. I am not sure how likely it is I can post during the weekend anyway, so figured this a fair choice at this point anyhow, but I'll try and drop by to see if something is posted here relating to Dalen. <br/><br/>I've got a tablet-pc bluetooth keyboard -ordered- now, but wont have it till next week.</div></div>
