He was sitting on the fountain in front the Tower of Babel with his arms placed on his legs, body hunched over, with a very serious, focused look about him as he stared at the ground. Niyol had remembered what happened last week like it had just happened a few seconds ago. He didn't care about the monsters that died, they were just cannon fodder for adventurers, anyways. He didn't care about the fact that he'd killed three people, either. Niyol had killed thousands of people before them, they were just more corpses on an already sizeable mound. The thing that weighed heavily on his mind was the fact that he used a curse to do it. Something that he didn't tell that girl he kissed was that the spell he used was never created with the intent of making himself stronger. It was a spell made specifically for killing a single individual. She could have died.

Suddenly, he hears a soft voice saying "Excuse me?" Niyol's eyes refocused themselves and his looked up to meet magenta colored eyes. A girl with fox ears. He'd seen a few of them in this giant ass city before, but this one was special. This... runaral, as they call them, was the only person whose life he spared that day. She took a step back out of shock. 'So his eyes are actually black.' she thought while staring at him. "There something I can help you with, miss?" Niyol asked. His tone was much gentler than she expected. 'Did he forget? Or... does he not care?' The runaral had recomposed herself and opened her mouth to speak, but froze. She was scared to talk. Her first impression of Niyol was seeing him at his most powerful, killing three much stronger adventurers with almost no effort. It was like facing down a miniature floor boss...

Niyol let out a sigh and said "I don't bite." ... "Much." ... "Okay, I don't bite that hard." it was his attempt at humor, which did serve to provide some form of relief to the runaral. The joke was a bit overused, but the attempt let her know he was at least somewhat hospitable when he wasn't killing people. "I... just wanted to ask-" "Does it actually matter?" Niyol interrupted. He already knew the question, it was a dumb one that even he found himself asking. "You wanna know why I didn't kill ya, is that right?" The runaral nodded. "Why didn't ya attack when you were told to?" Niyol asked. The runaral froze... blink... blink... There was no answer. She honestly didn't want to attack random people she didn't have an issue with, but she wasn't thinking about that when she froze back then. "You lived, don't question the situation, just be glad you're alive." Niyol said.

The runaral had moved to sit next to Niyol, but the creature laying on the side she was about to sit on had other plans. Vulpa immediately shot up and let out a loud hissing sound, showing a pair of front teeth that looked like something from an ancient predatory fish, and a set of needle-like teeth behind it. The woman had backed off and returned to standing to avoid getting bit. "Vulpa, chill." Niyol said and rested his hand on the animal's head. Vulpa let out a growling sound and glared at the woman with a hateful gaze as she returned to laying down. "Don't mind her."
[break][break]
The woman moved to Niyol's other side and sat down, nervously looking over to Vulpa every few seconds. "So... um... are you going back in the dungeon?" she asked.
[break]"Yeah. I lost something down there, gotta go back and grab it."
[break]"Oh. You should let me come with you."
[break]"Why?"
[break]"Well... you... sort of killed my party."
[break]"They were trying to kill mine. Which is even more reason I shouldn't take you along."
[break]"I'm a supporter, every adventurer needs a supporter!"
[break][break]
Niyol raised an eyebrow at that reason. He didn't know much about this world. "You've got my attention. What's a supporter, why should I care, and why should I choose you instead of someone else?" his words were harsh. This was the side of Niyol that came out when he was dealing with business- blunt and seemingly uncaring. "Supporters go behind adventurers and pick up their items. It lets adventurers focus on killing. Afterwards we split the reward up between us. As for why you should choose me..." she paused and looked at the ground while playing with her hands "... I... actually don't have a reason. I'm not good in combat. I know some spells, but none that are useful for killing monsters." Niyol's eyes narrowed on her. "Fine. You can come with me." A few minutes of awkward silence had passed before the woman said "My name's Zelya, by the way." and Niyol replied "Niyol." Zelya had then asked "Are you... umm... waiting for someone?" "Yeah. Another adventurer. Not too bright an idea to run in there with no weapon." and Zelya said "Oh. That makes sense."
