His head held high, tail waving around behind him, he chuckled to himself as he heard the small group asking about why they didn't have something like this. He'd never gotten [i]this[/i] much interest in his creations before. He had known Zyrech was a masterpiece for some time now, but to hear the praise from others was such a rare treat! They even recognized how much time and effort it took to make something like this! The blue Kobold listened in to the conversation, a bit giddy himself...at least until Faelee makes that slight, pointed comment that caused him to return to reality again for a moment. [color=2B8DF8]"And what's wrong with not taking an interest in things? Everyone has things they like and don't. And maybe he's just used to people treating him or the wilderness poorly or something. I dunno him, so it's not like I can just say he's a jerk or anything. He seems reasonable enough to me, so why not give him the benefit of the doubt?"[/color] Tanrith asked curiously, tilting his head toward Faelee. He turned to face Sarceron and nodded his head at him. [color=2B8DF8]"Thanks, by the way. I appreciate all that,"[/color] he added with a bright smile on his face. [color=2B8DF8]"But now that she mentions it, she does make me curious about this sect of yours. I mean...from you said earlier, you must be from here, eh, Sarceron? Sorry to hear about what happened to your home, by the way. Must be really hard on you. I know people whose friends lived here too. And I can only imagine how annoying it must be to have all of these complete strangers coming to snoop around while you're still trying to grapple with that. "But when you think about it, it's probably for the best, right?"[/color] He smiled, turning back toward Faelee once again. [color=2B8DF8]"I'm assuming the Doomguard is here to figure out what's going on just like the rest of us, right? Maybe if we all got along and cooperated with each other, we could get to the bottom of this faster. And maybe, just maybe...you could learn something about each other in the process~"[/color] Once he had said that, he turned back toward Sarceron again. [color=2B8DF8]"Take it from me: When things are bigger than you, you should take whatever helping hands you're given. Heh. And I should know. [i]Everything[/i] is bigger than me!~"[/color] Once he made fun of his own size, he allowed himself to laugh, resting one of his claws on top of Zyrech's head to keep himself balanced.
