I thought we came to the keep to get you your man, right here and now... But, now you're... Saying we'll have to do this all over agagin...?"[/color][/quote]

Before Iskah could answer, the two monsters' meals arrived. Two large dishes of assorted fishy delicacies, from classically fried ones to grilled ones with vegetables and seasonings stuffed in them. It didn't look like it, but Iskah seemed to have seafood as her preferred meal. The Lizardman can only hope that her Dark Mage companion shared her tastes.

But despite Iskah's mouth watering, she answered Vanessa first before even grabbing a utensil. "Well as you know, Lizardmen duel potential mates to gauge their strengths. If the Lizardman wins, that's that but if the potential mate wins, then he is the Lizardman's destined one and will propose marriage immediately." Iskah happily explained, even if this didn't really answer Vanessa's question. "And Lizardmen won't take 'no' for an answer, we'll keep bugging our destined mates until they say 'yes'."

"Like what happened to me!" Iskah continued, not a very good sign for the beleaguered Vanessa. "Buuuut, we're skipping all of that 'no' stuff and jumping straight to outright kidnapping him. I'm pretty sure he'll be adamant in his chastity until I introduce him to the pleasures of the flesh." The Lizardman finished. "I would've just taken him then and there... but he is the better fighter between us soooo, he managed to get away."

Finally grabbing a utensil, she said her last sentence before digging in. "Err, sorry if we have to do all that again. But I swear to you, this is the last mile, Vanessa! After we take him, we're home free and you'll have your reward!"

Iskah didn't seem intent on continuing her pursuit of Aun for the night. However, Vanessa can opt to go solo for the time being and nab The Incubus Knight once and for all.
