This dwarf was firmly on Dellex’s S-list; having a deadly and short temper could have been why. The hair on the back of Alexander’s neck leapt up, it did not raise, it did not stand, it leapt up while his heart rate also did leapt up and his breath became shallow. The Dwarf managed to become more frightening then his father, more frightening then his father while his father was on one of his raving-madman-rants and accusing him of all manner of things and believing that Alex was the soul culprit to every affront. A rather terrorizing thing when at one word of said madman ten iron golems in the room will squish you at the madman’s whim.  This was by far the most fear Alexander had felt that, to be frank, he could recall in the last ten years; a deadly realization crossed Alexander mind, Dellex did not send him here to command the Gnoll’s he was sent he to tick off a raging dwarf so Dellex could get the thing executed in short order and be thanked by the nobles for it. If that was true, he was massively underestimating Dellex and he had just blundered dearly.A crake in his armor appeared when his lips attempted to pull themselves into a slight smugly smile, that vanished in flight before it had the slightest chance to form, a further twich brifly puled the already gone grin to the left for the briefest of instances.Alexander slowly, calmly, turned to face Alden again and spoke the chant backwards, while fluting his left hand towards Alden before a second thinly arcane lightning bolt leapt from his figures and poofed onto Alden, dispelling the affect. Alexander inhaled deeply and let out a very soft ‘poow’ of relief. Still, he did have something to say to the dwarf all the same. Not that he could meet the dwarfs eyes just yet, as they remained turned to Alden. “Not that I doubt your resolve to fallow through with your threat,” he started slowly in an utterly flat voice, all he could manage at the time without his voice shaking. “but doing so would give Dellex every excuse to have you executed on summery; Alden’s nor the Gnoll’s testimony would not be remotely enough to gain any leeway from any of the nobles who would take interest in a lord from a prestigious hose getting butchered.” he continued onwards while taking effort to keep his voice utterly flat, he was talking slower than he had before, not because he wanted to make the dwarf understand what he was saying, but because he was being very careful in what he said and how he said it. “And yes, it was a little trick, in bad taste I'll add; in case you were worrying about it, the most nefarious thing it could have done was tie his hair in knots, or perhaps brad it. And I hope you don’t mind, but I did not resoil him while removing the petty, harmless, spell.”Fallon’s warnings were screaming in Alex’s head right then, he almost wanted to strike the old man next time he saw the cleric, but it was rather plane to see the man was right… he would have to admit so latter, if he could admit so latter. “I have a bit of a temper,” Alexander continued slowly as he neared the end of his comments towards the dwarf “and sometimes act without thinking; I hope you can overlook this, trespass.” Alexander finished towards Martomum before speaking a short sentence towards Alden. “I’m sorry for the prank and the threatening, belittling remarks.” He ended while giving Alden a small, polite, slow bow of the head.Alexander knew full well that, while the Gnolls were then under his command on paper, if Martomum gave them the order to kill him, they would fallow it without much forethought. They respected Martomum and were use to fallowing his orders, Alexander was an unknown and still needed Martomum tell the gnolls that the command had been transferred over to him before he could expect them to do what he said.'One petty impulse destroyed what was shaping up to be such a good day…' he thought regretfully.[sblock=OoC] 10, 10, 9, and 10 points to Martomum for honestly spooking and frightening Alex and getting him to apologize to someone he just called a rat, at the same time! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />[/sblock]</blockquote>
