[QUOTE="97mg, post: 7422012, member: 6799460"] [b]The Carven Door[/b] Sela smiles to the tiefling before turning to acknowledge the rest of the gathering with a nod, until her eyes fall on Magaw. There is a moment of hesitation as the fey-touched girl considers the floating head’s presence here. [COLOR="#008080"]“Interesting choice,”[/COLOR] she quietly mentions,[COLOR="#008080"] “but everything happens for a reason, doesn’t it, old enemy of this darkly diverse world.”[/COLOR] The skull returns the woman’s gaze, teeth grinding. [COLOR="#008000"]“Oh little fey-slave, the battlefield you left behind, for it's dead to pick through the remains and fight among themselves. Care, proportional to gain, perhaps. Tell me, when did you last wash your hair?”[/COLOR] he snaps at Sela mockingly. With a deep sigh the pitchling lets the undead’s words hang in the air, before eventually responding. [COLOR="#008080"]“You, Magaw, undead general, may have just done your first good deed in a very, very long time, baldie.”[/COLOR] [COLOR="#008000"]“Well then, consider me a changed man, in form and in nature little one!
