Torrek nodded to Sapphire, agreeing with the question, as he had been tempted to volunteer for feeding duties without asking what it was he would be required to procure.<em>Might be magical</em>, he thought.  There was, after all, much he did not understand about the powers of the various tribes, even though he harnessed some of that power himself.  Perhaps he simply had to prove himself no longer corrupted by his human blood.<br/><br/>Once Lady Cilen told them that their carts were ready, Torrek wasted no time in setting out, silently following the servant out to the carts.  He didn't even pause when some other monstergirl he didn't recognize approached and asked them their business.  Fortunately someone else answered her and got her on board.<br/><br/>As Sapphire approached shyly, he wondered if there were any males in her tribe.  She couldn't normally be so timid.<strong>"I am Torrek, and no, we have not.  You seem afraid.  Is this your first mission?"</strong><br/><br/>He was quiet for most of the trip, though he seemed interested when Wintersong mentioned the history between humans and monstergirls.<strong>"They used to enjoy the favors of the spirits, yes, but have since become corrupted by power, and now resort to base acts, enslaving instead of fighting honorably.  I do not see a return to such times.  Their souls aren't strong enough."</strong><br/><br/>He stayed in the a moment as the various girls  left the cart to address the humans, bristling slightly on his orders to remain in the back.  Finally, once four of them had stepped out, he did as well, though without words.  He did not want to draw attention to himself
