Settling to the ground again as Max started to back away, Grimus turned his eyes up to the man's. The human was wary now, of that he was certain. Good. The game was less fun when played with unwitting prey. Perhaps he would be a valuable servant after all.

[color=silver]"I'm afraid that won't do at all. Then you would be left to wander alone once more in a forest full of Fae who desire to harm you much more than I do. There is no place here safe for a human on his own. Come now, Max, I do not ask much. I only wish to hear your full Name from your own lips. Is that truly so much to ask for safety and hospitality? I am certain my Queen would love to meet you. She always wishes to meet the humans I have found. I am sure you would enjoy meeting her as well. She is quite beautiful and generous after all. If not for her, I would not be here now to offer you such safety,"[/color] Grim said, his tail flicking back and forth behind him. He could not tarry forever, and had already gained much, but the game was still on and he intended to take the whole pot. [color=silver]"However, if you do not wish my help..."[/color]

Grimalkin started to fade slowly from sight, starting with the tip of his tail. He spoke as he backed away now, his final words coming only when he was entirely invisible and several feet away. The last pieces of him to disappear were his haunting eyes and wicked smile.

[color=silver]"Then I shall be forced to abandon you to your lonely fate. Choose quickly, Max Napras. I cannot remain with this offer forever."[/color]
