Message: <blockquote data-quote="Zerith" data-source="post: 5624847" data-attributes="member: 99953">Alexander cocked his head, smirked, and blinked blankly; he was taken aback and she was more interesting and far more hilarious then he first thought; he could not believe the connection he had just seen and yet “Thus saith a lady” gave him a very crooked smile. He took a moment to gather himself while barely holding back a joyful, and very hearty, chuckle.  If only the woman knew just how hilarious what she just said was, and that the hand gestures only added to the affect.      Alexander braced his gut with his forearms, he then found her about as threatening as his little niece Alexandra*, if the woman before him started pouting her lower lip and pivoting side to side slightly the image of his niece in another twenty or so years would be complete and he would simply have had to cackle with joyful madness.  [*She had the same hair/eye colors and pattern as her uncle Alexander, and so was given his name, or a variant there of; Alexander was initially aghast by this, three people in his immediate family with the same name, however, he has since taken pride in it]  Then Alden spoke and Alexander turned to reply to the man, with a less manic but none the less a smug smile; he was starting accept how ‘pathetically small minded’ Alden was.“Put simply, yes, I am the leader of this endeavor, from what I recall your orders amount to assisting me. While Tiagio is free to also aid in this task at his pleasure, aiding and leading are not one and the same. And then we have our newest… acquaintance here, who has given us no real reason to trust her other then because she says so; she won’t be coming unless she can convince me otherwise.” Alexand said before giving a brief pause to allow what he said to sink in “Alden, you’re free to desert, during a time of war, at your whim, but as to how wise it is; I’ll leave that up to you. I’ve already explained why what you did was foolish to the limit of what my present mood will allow, and it was not  I who acted as a statue, it was you who leaped into action without thought.” Alexander commented blankly completely unflapped by the man’s banter.     Alexander turned back towards the woman and his grin regained some of his previous joy as it again broaden “You seem to misunderstand, ‘ little lady’, I don’t care who you say you are or who you are working for.” he began chuckling while fearing a questioning brow she was amusing him into forethought and recollection, oh the hypocritical nature of it.“I care about what your purpose here is. Until what happens are ‘our destinies intertwined’?  Are our destinies only intertwined until you see the half-elf? Forgive me if I find that you swear your alliance until a time to be determined at your pleasure to be concerning, but it is.”  “You’ve not given me, or any of us for that matter, any reason to trust in the least; you claim to be a humble servant of Limberrie; what proof have you given? I’ve never seen an acolyte who goes around in studded leather and a greatsword with not even so much as an amulet hung around their neck to denote their highest lord and master. I do not seem to see one around your neck.” Alexander chuckled; he could not bring himself to dispel the oh so silly image from his mind.  It was far too precious to do so; it was priceless.“And before you do as you’ve said and simply ignore me, consider this; I’m the ranking officer, a lord no less, you’re a potential threat to my mission and you have the audacity to assert that you will accompany me were you like? Even if you did fallow us around does not mean I will simply allow you to tag along, it is of no effort to me to stat you’re an interloper when you act as one.” Alexander spoke confidently and chucklingly while he continued to see what his niece might be like in several more years. “Now, quall my inquiries or rest along with them; So saith a lord.” Alexander ended while resisting the urge to pout in childish mockery; if the woman had spoken any other words. Alexander could not help but envision that pathetically cute face attempting to look serious as he spoke to the woman before him.That he had just gave her the same, pervade, reply he gave his niece when she wanted to stay up late did not help matters.[sblock=OoC] um, its PbP, I can take five minutes or five years to make a reply and it does not have any affect on in game time; and given that there was no noted delay in Alexander’s reactions, it is most accurate to assume that Alden simply seized inisativefrom Alexander who was not in a rush to jam words down the servant’s thought before he had a chance to see the man’s deposition :/  Also, Alex acts more like a smart NPC  with crazy high Will and Sense Motive scores then a normal PC, his character is unbending, so he does not just flow with things that are odd, like a 6’5” woman appearing out of nowhere and just saying she is their to help ^^; [this said, unwritten past events are used as I see fit to amuse me randomly! ^_^]    and yesh, the/one of the youngest characters here is seeing the oldest one as akin to his four year old niece :3(oh yah, Axel, Alden’s Personal Details  still need to be added)... I need to stop making late night/hyper early morning posts :/[/sblock]</blockquote>
