[quote=Vanessa][color=lightblue]"Although I can recount the night's events to you, that'd only be my point of view and observations. I'm sure Iskah - the lizardman girl there - can vouch for my testimony, but I'm not sure the other two will see things the same way. In which case, you'll have a 'we said, they said' situation on your hasnds, once they wake up."[/color][/quote]

The Lot Knight seemed to piece together what happened last night by inferring from Vanessa's words, as he watched the Dark Mage inspect her Lizardman-Doppelganger client. "[color=burlywood]...You chased Inky in the middle of the night. And that made him a little too mad.[/color]" Iskah was unscathed for the most part, her monster physiology likely already healed any injuries she sustained from last night. However, there was still a minor bump in her head. Probably a concussion delivered by her beloved to finally knock her out.

A sigh escaped from the Lot Knight. "[color=burlywood]I'm probably wasting my breath like this but... Can't you give up?[/color]" He asked Vanessa. "[color=burlywood]You're hurting yourselves trying to get him. He's already made peace with his destiny. Can't you accept that?[/color]" He pleaded to the monster, albeit half-heartedly.

"That is NOT his destiny!" Iskah shot up from her bed in order to retort. "He's just hurting. Really bad. And I intend to help him, and guide him to his true fate." She declared as she approached the cell bars, her claws balled into fists.

Agitated by the sudden retort, the hooded Lot Knight aligned himself to face down Iskah. "[color=burlywood]And why is that your responsibility? Because you love him? You barely know him![/color]"

"Untrue." Iskah was unfazed. "I know his story. I know he has worked tirelessly for a love that was never meant to be. I know that destroyed him in the inside. I know he carries those wounds to this day." The Lizardman then grabbed the bars and finished her piece. "Tragic as that may be, that shouldn't be the end of his story. He doesn't have to carry that pain forever. Not after fighting for something so noble. It wouldn't be fair."

"[color=burlywood]Fair?[/color]" The Lot Knight snickered and turned to the Dark Mage. "[color=burlywood]You. You look like you've seen your fair share of the world. Can you enlighten our Lizarman friend here on how fair the world is?[/color]"
