From his earlier conservation with Fallon, and Dellex’s comment about better him then the “blasted dwarf”, told Alexander he was going to replace Martomum Stonebreaker; he did not know how well liked the Dwarf was, and just saying something that amounted to, “I’m here to randomly replace your commander” would not help him when dealing with the Gnolls. Meanwhile he also knew Dellex was giving him a chance to show his leadership, and he knew Dellex could speak Gnoll; he would have liked to just politely, get in, to talk to Martomum, and then take over slowly without causing a large stir. Oh well, he would just calm things down afterward.
It is always annoying when the margin of error is reduced from massive to tiny, but challenges should not be ignored nor left unanswered.
Alexander approached to address the trio, but still stayed well enough away that he was neither threatening them for nearly in their reach while he rolled his gold and black eyes around in their sockets before locking them, unflinchingly, onto the eyes of the Gnoll who asked the question “To Massacre the knife-ears.” he answered with a irritated growl seeping through, as if the question was insulating and foolish, as if the answer he gave was the only one possible, as if the mere idea that it could be answered otherwise was foolhardy, and he stared downwards at the Gnoll boredly with golden eyes, as if the gnoll was not their at all, as if his golden eyes could see strait through it and he was in fact looking at some insignificant insect behind it, as if it was some little bug and not something as imposing as a Gnoll.
Being use to seeing the shadows of Iron golems lumbering about made Alexander rather immune to being intimidated through something simply being large, something that most Gnoll's unknowingly benefited from and came to, in at lest small part, expect when dealing with most other races.
“Yet as for why I am here,” Alexander added while paying attention to the other two Gnolls, “I am here to instigate a correction in ye deployment, and…” Alexander continued dryly before turning his gaze back towards the previous Gnoll who instigated the conversation, and thus the one he assumed was the most dominant of the three “Thou shalt lead us unto Stonebreaker.” He then finished as he told the Gnoll what was about to happen; the earlier growling sub tone was completely gone, instead replaced by a level yet commanding tone; he then motioned for the other two to stand aside. It was more forceful then he would have entered without Dellex at his back, but if it harmed him or gave him a boon had yet to be seen.
[sblock=OoC] Um, Did Dellex answer any more of Alexander’s questions during the ride over? It seems kind of daft to not bother doing so when they had a half hour to talk things over and all the questions he asked could vastly change how he behaves to any given situation. :/
Also, that is Alexander's Gnoll voice color ^^; [/sblock]
