At Ember's comments, Marius' gentle and polite demeanor drops almost instantly, his face looks more feral and his eyes seem to burn with an inner flame, the sight would send shivers in any sane being, with a voice that now sounds more like growls than words, your employer speaks:"We do not cower nor hide, thus all of these men wore armor and their traditional fur cloack. Now let me make this clear to you pup, I don't care if Rorn or Haran is ripe with this Pesh, I want it off my streets in Venza. As for people like you, bringing you in, with the intelligence you seem to have, wouldn't concern kobolds, your friends on the other hand seem like capable sorts, but Rannachio thugs don't think that far, most likely they ganged up on my men, killed them and then took their stuff, that's where your team comes in. Let me make this clear, challenging me isn't the smartest move you could make, I've spent ten years cleaning up the streets of Venza and fighting every day of my life to do it, so put those pretty little eyes down on the floor before I lose my temper and rip them off your skull."
Slightly turning his head towards Nathan he hands him the papers, and says to the sorcerer in a civil tone:"I shall remain here until you complete your investigation, should you require aid or healing you'll know where to find it. I would watch that one id I were you, his viper tongue and challenging eyes could get you in trouble on the planks."
[sblock=occ] I'm playing Marius as he is, an incredibly tough priest who's spent his life fighting low lives, as such challenging him which is what he assumed the glaring eyes were triggered a defense mechanism in him, in other words no offense intended towards you Ghost, just played the character as he is [/sblock]
