A post-meeting greeting (Closed)

CHARACTERS: Laedo Ledo and Evan Friave-Somethingsomething
DATE: Post newbie integration
WARNINGS: n/a
SUMMARY: Laedo's looking for others who are not gung-ho about the killing and pillaging after finding Nalanni quite agreeable, at least for a goddess. He's testing the waters.

Considering the atmosphere that Laedo had found himself in once he'd been blown to the surface, he felt it behoved him to take the pulse of his new team over the prospect of killing immortal beings. One of the first conversations he'd had with another team mate had been about destroying the very fire goddess that he had taken a liking to.

He couldn't very well announce his intentions to halt the hero Gilgamesh or any others so foolhardy, so he kept his qualms close to his chest. If he looked especially sour over the course of the next day or so, it was difficult to tell from his usual stand-offish behaviour, and besides, nobody else here appeared to have a muzzle, or a tail, or fine-tuned ears with which to articulate their displeasure. He could read humans better than he used to be able to, but he had an alien advantage.

Still, Laedo was looking for others who were less intent on deicide, and that gave him hope.

This was how he had managed to wrangle Evan into the picture: once he'd finished listening to a particularly irritating debate, he chose to seek the red-headed human down. He partially liked Evan's logical thought process, and partially felt a low roll of disgust with those who took to trolling all logic for the sake of their own ego. In a word, he didn't appreciate rudeness in others. Getting the human to agree to go out of the sight of the deer-folk who'd been worked up to a similar fervour, though, was going to be difficult.

Rounding on Evan when the man was passing between buildings, the askan corralled him neatly with one long circling motion, tail forming a cage that would be impolite to hop over. "Human," Laedo greeted the one-eyed creature, voice cordial, chin inclined almost--but not quite--like a cat that expected to have it knuckled in a massive scritching. "I'm sorry for stopping you, but I noticed you were injured. I might be able to help, if you would consider an exchange."
