Snippet #2694087

"Well, just wanted to see how you were doing, and to tell you that you were giving off quite a bit of power. If you wanted to approach someone with stealth...well, it wouldn't have gone too well." He stated. "You had a lot of eyes looking for you, but now ... hm ... not a whole lot, but there's at least a few people watching us now. But if this nose of mine is correct, they're just ... curious, for now."

Sam had to sigh internally, he had hoped to slip in and out of this market unnoticed, but Alexia's presence wasn't exactly a good thing to leave be. "Also, I believe I owed ya some of this from the bet I lost last time we played." He said, reaching into a bag and pulled out three cans of cherry Pepsi and another chocolate bar. Several decades ago, he had met up with Valen in a market, and it was a good reunion, all things considered.

As they enjoyed some good, a large army laid siege to the city, intent on taking it by force. One thing led to another, and Sam was introduced to Alexia. Well, by introduced, he saw the conditions needed to change into Alexia, and the carnage that followed was, considerable. Alexia certainly had more physical strength than most creatures he had seen or fought. So it went without saying that he'd rather not have Alexia get jumped in the middle of a large market. Her destructive power was considerable, and anyone with enough wits would notice, but it would take more wits for them to realize that she was way out of their league.

He let his eyes run across the many faces in the crowd, and he saw several sets of eyes that could potentially be looking at them, but without using magic it'd be difficult to determine if they were actually looking at them or at something near them, and he didn't want to draw any more attention than they already did. Still, he was glad he was able to calm Alexia down, though it did cost him some pristine chocolate, still holding the rest of the chocolate bar out for her to take.

"So... if my guess is correct, you're here to research into your little 'pest' problem?" He asked. Sam had known Alexia, or rather Valen before the shatter. While he was a decent guy, Sam recalled him having a temper, and that wasn't lost in the cataclysm. Still, some traits carried over into Alexia, one of them being a temper. "They have been getting more active lately, at least that's what I've heard from merchants and traders."

Sam had no love for countries similar to where the crusaders come from, given the fact that his former home country turned into one. So if Alexia wanted to stir up some trouble with them, he'd most likely help her if he accepted it. "I just got off from a hunt, so I'd be more than happy to help if you'd like it."
