Standing dusting him self off, one hand rubbing at his still bruised knuckles, Xholkrox looked up as his Elven friend declared how humiliated she felt. He cringed as she slipped back into the mud, knowing that as an Elf that would have compounded the humiliation even further he felt nothing but concern for her. As Reya ran towards her house he considered running after her.<br/><br/>Garashna however beat him to it, her scolding tirade was more abrupt than the young T'Skrang would have said but no less emphatic for that. With a determined look on his face the T'Skrang watched two of his friends depart, the older T'Skrangs words were almost lost on him. Only his keen hearing and in built politeness stopped him from ignoring the troubadour completely.<br/><br/>Turning to face their protagonist, Xholkrox  looked at him grimly for a second, considering his words carefully as he mulled over what the Elder had said. Something about him intrigued Xholkrox , something about just why he has chosen him and his friends and why he had been so easy on them when it was obvious that he could have defeated them with out taking a breath if he had wished.<br/><br/>Casting one quick look at his departing friends he turned back to the troubadour and replied briefly "We will have to decided on that Elder one, my friends and i may well chose to turn up or we may not, I can not say for certain but one thing I do know is that you are playing with us. Why, I do not know, I am not sure I enjoy being part of a game I don not know and I am sure that I can speak for all my friends when I say, if we do visit with you in the morn then we will expect some answers to questions that we have yet to decide on. That I can guarantee, but for now I bid thee good night and I hope your rest is long and peaceful as one of your age surely needs all the rest they can get if they are to have as much energy as you seem to be in possession of"<br/><br/>With out waiting for a reply Xholkrox span on his heels and speed off after Garashna and Reya calling out as he went "Wait for me, this is a dangerous time for defenceless women to be out with out a dashing escort to save them from footpads and cutpurses"<br/><br/>
