Dungeons & Dragons: Honour Among Thieves (Doric x male reader)

Part 7: Xenk

A huge crowd of people gathered round a dock, while some of the villagers heaving a giant terrifying fish onto the dock. The Villagers shouted at each other, as each of them were clearly struggling with the creatures heavy weight and its attempts to break free from the ropes they held in it. Off to the side cried a woman that resembled one of a cat as two other women held each of her hand and tried to comfort her.

Suddenly the crowd of people began moving out of the letting a man walk down the dock. Each person looking at the man with wonder and interest to what he'll do. As he went, he past his jacket off to some random person, who in return held a very confused expression.

The man finally made up towards the end of the dock where the fish sat, the villagers still struggling to hold it down. The man held out his hand and slow approached the fish. Once he was close enough crouched down to its level and placed his hand on its head. The man then began to speak Thayan to the creature. Upon hearing the mans words the creature looked to calm down as if in some sort of trance and opens its mouth to reveal a baby humanoid cat within it. The man carefully pulled the baby out with his other hand and the small infant into his arms.

The baby cried out, as everyone cheered in happiness and relief. The man stood back up, the baby in his arms, he then walked away from the fish and towards the mother who happily accepted the child into her arms. The people thanked him as he walked away, but did not stay too long as he simply walked away from the scene, take back his coat as he went.

Not too far away the group watch the man walk away, having seen the entire scene play out in front of them. Some looked impressed some looked annoyed by how nonchalant he was about the whole thing.

Doric: He's interesting.

She said clearly impressed with the whole ordeal. Y/N who stood next to her clicked his tongue.

Y/N: Interesting? Yeah I'll show interesting when you speak to him for more then 5 minutes.

Doric only smirked at his response, amused to get this reaction from him.

Simon: I agree, I've seen more interesting.

Y/N: You know, if I tried I could probably pull cats out of fish.

Doric let out a chuckle, shaking her head.

Doric: Yeah? Well let me know if you ever try.

Y/N went to respond with a snide response but was cut off.

Holga: Y/N go talk to him.

He tuned his head away from him and looked past Simon to face Holga.

Y/N: You go talk to him.

Holga only huffed and walked past him, going the same way Xenk went.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The group jogged a little to catch up to Xenk, who seemed to be speed walking away. Y/N huffed as he went a little fast so he was now slightly behind Xenk. Y/N rolled his eyes as he spoke up to gain the mans attention.

Y/N: Hey, Xenk.

Xenk stops in his tracks as he turns around to face the man and the group. A pleasant smirk made its way onto Xenks lips.

Xenk: Well if it isn't the young Y/N. A thief that I myself, and as many others should truly respect.

Y/N only awkwardly waved his at him.

Xenk: Yeah, sup Xenk.

Xenk looked past Y/N and at the group of strangers with him.

Xenk: Last I remember a man such as yourself travelled alone?
