Cyric regards the goblin child with a small amount of uncertainty before answering. As a large adult male standing on his own, he finds the small girls confidence in approaching a little unnerving. Having said that, Cyric is not the sort to ignore bravery. He awkwardly shifts from a stiff militant posture and responds to the girl, making sure he keeps at least 5 feet between him and her. "Er, well, young one, the weapon on my back is known as a scythe and in most circumstances in the plains is often used for the harvest of crops, much in the same way as a sickle is used to cut wheat". With that, he mimics the use of a sickle in the harvesting process, then looks back up at the girl to see if she has grasped the concept.
"Erm, some humble townsfolk over the years, have risen to become great warriors and their weapons of choice were the same pieces of farm equipment they used to work the lands. I personally wield this combat scythe for, well, religious reasons I suppose... N-now that I've told you something, can you tell me about these, two-faced monsters?" He begins to go red in the face at the awkwardness of the situation, then reverts to a stern look and tone of voice.
"And er, your parents should be close by! Why is an intelligent and inquisitive girl like yourself wandering around the docks alone hmm?" Worrying he may have sounded too harsh then, he tries going with humor instead. "Approaching strangers too! What if I were secretly a er- What do young girls know about that are scary, but not too scary? -An.... An evil erm... Frog or... fairy or erm.. BOOGEYMAN! A BOOGEYMAN! In disguise?" With that, he awaits her reply, hoping he hasn't terrified her.
