"In short land dweller a term you would be familiar with is 'Merman' and i am the protecter of this part of the forest... Don't you see that this glade has grown silent? it is because these creatures reckogize my power and have grown silent they are still here and are waiting to fest of whatever I leave behind...My armor is more then enough to deflect your progjectiles it is made of Rivions stone it is an unkown metal to your kind for if you had known about it then you would have come prepared. What provisions have you brought?".

Hanzel twitched a bit when he heard the word 'merman'. So they did exsist, of course he had heard of them but never had he imagined them being real. He ignored the merman's question, he knew better then to let another gain control of the situation, and said, "Well, I want to start this off civily, and because you introduced yourself as Avidin is it alright that I refer to you as such? Or would that be too informal? Can't be more informal than 'merman' now can it?". Hanzel sat back onto the stump and kicked his feet casually, alternating legs. "Now, Avidin, my name is Hanzel Icheru, leader of research and exploration efforts on part of my people. I have a few things to say about your speech before we continue;", Hanzel tilts his head to the other shoulder. "You said your armour is more than enough to deflect our weapondry? I simply meant to ask you not to underestimate us, I did not mean to insult you, yet you underestimate me. Why? Is it because of my size, or is it simply because you have not fought people like us before? Either way if we both underestimate each other a conflict will arise, and I would like to avoid that if possible."
Hanzel chuckles and brushes his hair out of his eyes, and was about to ask if he was there just to threaten them when he heard Gilfried speak; "Merman? Well aren't we lucky, if you were a mermaid we might have been in trouble there, I didn't bring earplugs." Gilfried glares menacingly at Avidin and crosses his arms, examining joints in the armour, then looking around the forest mockingly. "Well, merman, this doesn't look like a body of water to me, this here is Avalon, right? I always thought you merpeople were partial to Morghosia." He looked sideways at Avidin slyly. "What are you doing so far from home 'protector of this forest'?"
Hanzel looked at Gilfried with shock, he had no idea that Gilfried knew about these creatures, did he know about their existance as well? He would ask him that later, and looked back to Avidin with a smile that you wear when you catch someone bluffing, and he whispers to Gilfried; "You didn't tell me you knew these things existed."
