A cold, calculating smile appears on his lips, but his eyes still hold an unsettling intensity. He walks slowly over towards Enraela, pitches his voice for her ears alone and speaks in a vaguely emotionless whisper. "Mistress, you fail to see my true purpose. Surely our enemy already knows that we are here. Twize have we been ambushed by his forces, three times have we triggered his traps. Anyone capable of making himself the master of such a place as this would surely be wise enough to set alarms to alert him when his guardians are disturbed. Logic dictates that he knows where we are, and is perhaps even following our progress by magical means. Add to that the most perceptive warnings of your dear cousin... Trust me, my actions have caused us no harm." "The Cessulli are inconsequential in this context, they are not a threat at this time, but perhaps them being aware of our precense could benefit us. The cirqumstances could force an alliance with them. Survival might supercede all other concerns... We shall see.""No, my true reasons behind my actions was to attract our enemys attention to myself, thereby pulling his attention away from you, mistress. By giving our enemy a personal dislike for me I am hoping to make myself the first target of his attacks. Since it is unlikely our enemy could do me any permanent harm, whereas you by contrast are most vulnerable, my actions were intended to protect the group as a whole. Besides, your life is valued far above mine in most circles... I was also hoping that my taunts would draw him here in anger, abandoning his powerful defences and fighting us at our terms. That seems to have failed, for now.""Surely you realise, mistress, that asking for your approval in advance would look most suspicious in the eyes of our enemy. Almost as suspicios as this."---ooc: Ok, so the logic is a bit shaky, but his intelligence is only 14, and he really wants to kill something right about now <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" />.(Diplomacy: +15)</blockquote>
