"Hah! Ledude fights like un Frenchman and loves like une Italian! No mere monster can stand up to his skills<em>magnifique</em>!"<br/><br/>Ledude strolled into the scene in all his glory, spouting those words in a faux French accent. He was a little taller than average, and that was before counting his wide-brimmed hat with a multi-coloured feather stuck into it. His blonde hair hung straight down past the golden epaulettes on his shoulders. He sported an equally blonde moustache, trimmed narrow and pulled to either side with a slight curl upwards at the tips. With such style it didn't really matter what he wore below the neck, but for the sake of completeness, he was wearing a Napoleonic-era uniform, with bandoleer after bandoleer of flasks and vials strapped on, and a superhero cape that billowed behind him (even without wind) whenever he moved. It was obvious that his class was Alchemist, and a quick check showed that he was level 5, just like Moonshadow.<br/><br/>"You're back!" Moonshadow cried out in relief, the kebab forgotten for the moment as she got to her feet and tackled him with a flying hug.<br/><br/>"Of course I'm back,<em>ma petite lune</em>," Ledude chuckled, patting her rump. "And I got your key, too. Turn around." He held up a small silver key. The small monk turned around and pulled her hair aside out of the way. On the back of the collar was a tiny lock, and the key fit in perfectly. A turn and a click later... and the collar was just as secure as before, as Moonshadow found out when she tried in vain to tug the collar off.<br/><br/>"It didn't work!" She wailed.<br/><br/>"No, it worked perfectly," Ledude corrected her with a foppish grin. "I'm your owner now, not that bad monster. So many options... I wonder what this does?" He glanced to the side at apparently nothing - Rayne couldn't see the options he was being presented with, but from the way his eyes moved it was clear that he had just gained access to a new menu.<br/><br/>He winked at Rayne, as a invitation to trade with him popped up in her display. Normally such an invitation was for trading items and gold - but now she could see that the "item" being offered was sex with Moonshadow, for Rayne to do with the monk as she wished as though she had just defeated her, and all for the mere cost of a nominal ten gold.
