Kabal Fear
Kabal's eyes widened slightly as he heard Lucius agree to send him off on a "test". He grinned slightly; feeling the first real excitement he had in years. He would get to investigate the light? Alone? He laughed darkly under his breath. This was going to be quite interesting.
Kabal nodded his head slowly, dropping the grin. No reason to smile for too long. He glanced Lucius over and slowly spoke. "You can help me get there, right? Walking would take quite some time... It's not something I would like to do if possible." About that time, the sound of the water became somewhat more clear. Kabal's fingers twitched as he glanced around. This was far too unnerving for his tastes. Soon Patience had left to carry out the orders he was given by Lucius. This left Kabal in an even stranger state. Should he leave? Should he wait?
Of course, when Lucius pulled a blonde mermaid out of portal of shadow with quite the loud exclamation of anger, Kabal's interest in the present was renewed. Had this mermaid been the source of the sounds? He had never seen a mermaid before... He had heard plenty of stories, but even in his long life, Kabal had never gotten to see one of the strange creatures. He smiled only slightly before he heard his new master speak up again.
"Nerine?"
So Lucius knew this mermaid? If that were the case, Kabal would probably need to attempt to be polite... He reached a hand up and pulled it through his hair. He hoped Lucius didn't want him to look more presentable... It was difficult to look anything but scrawny and weak for the bloody pixie.
"Greetings to you, Nerine... I'm assuming that's what you are called at least..." Kabal spoke in his still rough voice, "Were you the one making that sound earlier...? I had begun to question my sanity." This time Kabal smiled only to be polite. His interest was lost quickly, now back to the idea of leaving. He wondered if he could convince Lucius to use one of those Shadow Portals to send him to Morinae... Though, that may be the wrong area if he needed to search for the boy.
