guillotine & a razorblade
you're invited to the Underground Market!
A titanic man emerged from the treeline with the grace of a panther somehow softening the sound that might have given him away as he came into view. Mercurial eyes boring into his own, the brightly mottled giant assessed him without uttering a word of greeting. Ebon features carefully absent of emotion, his brimstone gaze traipsed over the lines of his bodice curiously in return. Burly, bearing a few unique features that he couldn't say he'd seen before on a canine. Keen eyes snapped back to the face of the strange man as a deep voice rumbled forth, "What do you want?" words were devoid of any real malice, and laced with a thick accent. Lashes fluttered as a facsimile of a warm expression made its way onto his face, and the raven furred servant dipped his head low in a respectful greeting. "I hope I have not disturbed you, my lord." he began carefully, auds flickering back hesitantly as he sought to express his condolences in the event that he had drawn the man away from other business. "My name is Absinthe, I have come on behalf of my master, who seeks to extend an invitation to you and your people. He is hosting a market in the north, and would be honoured to have you visit to peruse the wares." he explained in a cool, even-keeled tone. Rather than launch into a full tale of the events that would be held at their site to the north, the dark male left it at that. It seemed like gauging the interest of the stoic male would be beneficial, rather than load him down with irrelevant information and potentially drive him away entirely. ooc. feel free to have Venom drop in and interrupt at any point, I just couldn't resist having him be a little uneasy and try to win Hattori over STEP IN LINE, EVERYTHING WILL BE JUST FINE |
