>[HONIYA: BE RELEVANT AGAIN]<

You suceed at being relevant once again. You were always relevant in some ways or another. As the proclaimed protagonist of the Terisia Trolls Arc, it's your job to be very, very fucking relevant. Anyway, on with this part of the story of ours. Can't be delayed, after all.

HONIYA: so thys ys the gui were supposed to fynd

Lokkim nods his head. Looks like he knows a lot more than you do. Doesn't matter, you'll find out on your own terms and when you're ready. You look the our new troll "pal", Frilon Hraveo from your many sources. A proclaimed bronzeblood. He doesn't seem to have the sign, Tauricorn, on his clothing like most trolls do. There's no indication of his blood color besides the light coloring of his many scars, most of it covered by a colorless, ruined up scarf and his eyes. It's still incredibly easy to miss those details if you don't look hard enough. He's trying to be careful and hidden. He's been through a lot, you can tell. You can empathize with him. You've almost been through so much. You approach Frilon, trying to seem the less domineering, a natural trait of a fuchsiablood you can't really control, as you can. As you approach, the bloodlust in his eyes rises and he turns agressive once more. Ah, so that's the type of troll he is? Guess you can't control trolls for wanting to be better than others, at least in a place like this. In this world, no one matters. Only the ruling caste. Lokkim follows, wanting to sure you won't be hurt. You appreciate it, but you'll be fine. He gives Frilon a slighlty menacing stare. You can't tell if that's on purpose or not.

LOKKIM: Wh3r3 is y0ur sign? W3 n33d t0 kn0w f0r... c3rtain r3as0ns.

Lokkim is careful for his word choice so he won't reveal too much about us. Good call. You wouldn't want anyone knowing about your secrets, especially a stranger. Frilon stares at Lokkim after he asks that questions. Then, he pulls at his scarf, pulling it down and revealing markings resembling a troll's sign. They're like... burn marks. That's the closest thing you can compare to them. You're bit taken back by this discovery. But, it's the right sign. We saw what it looked like and this is it. He is the one.

LOKKIM: W3ll, this isn't lik3 anything I'v3 3v3r s33n in my lif3. V3ry... int3r3sting.

Frilon growls, but a glare from the person behind him, Shamia, shuts him up. Speaking of Shamia, he's been acting strange as of late. No question about that. He's actually doing something for once. Maybe he's finally using his potential to move. You knew he had potential, but you never intervene with him. You already knew your place back then. Your place wasn't to help him realize what he had in store.

HONIYA: whi are iou here yn the fyrst place that ys the questyon of the nyght

Frilon gives you a creepy look. He's looks menacing and is no longer the same person he was moments before, quiet and reserved. You stare him down, not showing any amount of fear. You know better than that. You bite your lip at the fact you can relate and connect with this troll on so many ways. You not to get attached.

FRILON: \/\/HY I CA/\/\E. \/\/ELL TH/\T'S /\ REAL FU/\//\/Y STORY.

FRILON: \/\/HY I CA/\/\E AROU/\/D TO P/\Y THE T\/\/O FUCHSI/\BLOODS \/\/O/\/DERING AROU/\/D I/\/ /\ PL/\CE LIKE THIS /\ LITTLE \/ISIT.

You flinch back. You weren't expecting that. Of course, there's plenty of people who want to murder us seadwellers, but you've never seen one actually try and do it. Besides Tasyll's murderer... But, you don't enjoy talking about that certain traumatic event in your life. Anyway, Lokkim hears this and is definitely not taking any of this. So, it's time that he assert his dominace over the entire troll species like the king that he is.
