<strong>Dalen Black, Human Trickster</strong><br/><br/>Watching the escalation taking place between Lilith and Arafel when she made her point by stripping him of the bit of 'clothing' he had put together to cover his nudity earlier, Dalen could only shake his head quietly. He mostly wanted to keep his reactions to himself, seeing things would only be incensed if he were to offer some of his 'witty comments' into it, and besides if they were already on edge, giving either one of them a push would probably result in a fight and the last thing he wanted was to see their vengeance ruined by the loss of one of their restored company, if they were all necessary to bring their enemy down.<br/><br/><strong>"How about we finish getting our gear, listen to the person responsible for us feeling animated rather than dessicated, spend a little time once clothed to allow us all to be a bit more rejuvenated, before we set out after what we have all anticipated, to have that bastard cap'n decapitated?"</strong>He made his remark in a completely bored, neutral tone of voice. He wasn't being cheerful, he wasn't being mocking, he wasn't even trying to be funny. He was stating the facts the way he had simply because he was trying to keep from saying something else 'clever' that would get his flesh flayed off his bones by Lilith or Arafel sputtering something about having him hanged once they were back to civilization. Oh yes, he had his share of venomous words if he got angry, but honestly he saw more benefit in working together, at least until their mutual goals were met, than being divided and killing one another. Besides, he might even grow to like them. He respected each, they had their own power and charm, but at the same time he felt like he was dealing with a headache like herding cats, and he was definitely not the leader sort.<br/><br/>Leaders got stabbed in the back. It was the power behind the throne that was where true power lay. Besides, it was always better to have a scapegoat and an escape plan. That thought was pushed from his mind though as his gaze returned to Noemi shortly afterwards, a small smile playing on his lips at this point.<strong>"Well although I am not against enjoying some shared passions, I would rather try and stoke those flames when we were celebrating our return to the land of the living. Sex can be a lot of fun, but I imagine that after a healthy romp with you I would not have the strength to lift the shovel let alone dig for your gear."</strong>He winked at her, but looking over at Lilith and Arafel. Something had to be done.<strong>"I'm gonna keep digging if you aren't going to work your magic and the chains, but whatever you decide to do would you please do it soon?"</strong>His tone tipped by a bit of impatience at wanting to get back to the task at hand.
