Is 'Legolas' your word for the forest people? We don't have one. It sounds nice.

Maria explains her plight.

"Ah, I see. Normally I wouldn't disclose this information to a...well...female, but the only thing I've heard of that amount of men together would be the forest north of the castle. It's earned the nickname 'woman-eater forest' in the past few years. Granted, quite a few girls come out alive, but they tend to be rather kind at heart. Maybe they just hate evil women."
"I don't think my brothers would be women-killing barbarians."
"Your father wanted to kill them all for your sake, yes? Everyone outside the castle knows it."
"Ah."

His eyes seem black from far away, but they're a brilliant green when I come closer. How queer.

"Vandis."
"Hello, Rhell. Otura doing fine?"
"Splendid. Barthazard not doing anything reckless?"
"I think he's slept with every single girl we came across on the way, but otherwise he's rather well-behaved."
"I rarely see you outside delivery, Vandis. Occasion?"
"Jonathan, bless his soul, has never had ale, and he's been whining about it. Boy's much too weak to go and get some his damn self. We originally were going down to Haland, but it's been barricaded for some reason."
"I appreciate you coming here for it."
"Old friends, aye?"

Maria slowly takes Tom and sidles up to the back wall so the man named Vardis and the forest man named Rhell could talk in peace. Rhell lowers his voice, but Maria can still hear. Tom makes it hard with his obsessive sniffing.

"I hear it's the winter folk, for it. They've moved to a less populated area for the marriage."
"Scathing stars."
"It's the first time a demon has become betrothed to a human. A good omen."
"Not for the RedEyes, still. Leral's going to be happy, anyways, the optimistic little twat."

Rhell whispers something Maria cannot hear.

Maybe we should leave...?

"That man has beef jerky on him," Tom whispers. "By the gods of the red rivers, it's salted and...I think that's Hullberry. I've never had jerky marinated in Hullberry before."

Cursing on the Red Rivers is really uncomfortable, but he seems to like Beef Jerky quite a bit.

I myself am more concerned with the marriage. The winter people are omnivorous, but aren't opposed to eating humans that are enemies or dead. It's an enormous step.

>>76843
Can you tell us more about the winter people, and the other types of demons? This is very interesting!

Also, use your ROYAL STATUS to get a piece of that beef jerky for Tom.

>>76847
Well, there's levels of demons.
RedEyes are carnivorous. I don't know how they get the nutrients one usually acquires through plants from. There's either the predators, or the scavengers like Tom.
Forest Folk live in the forest, and are herbivorous. The same problem as the RedEyes concerning diets that are harmful to humans to have. They keep to themselves, but are welcomed with open arms and treated like higher-class humans. Most of them have florescent green or light brown eyes.
The Winter Folk live in the northern country and places coated with ice. They're omnivorous, and don't attack humans often, so I suppose it's why they're closer to acceptance. They have really blue eyes.
The only other omnivorous demon are Scorpions. They live in the deserts and savannas and are rather terrifying. They're very territorial you see. My tutor always said I should run when I see yellow eyes. He didn't comment when I pointed out that humans can have darker yellow eyes occasionally.

Finished with her monologue, Maria approaches Vandis.

"Excuse me sir, but my friend catches the scent of dried meats on you. Might I take some?"
"Of course, little lady. I bought them for a RedEye friend of mine, but I have a plethora. I know how crazy vultures get for it."

I was not aware there was such a familiar and pleasant word for scavengers.

"You said you have a friend?"
"Mm. Leral was born upperground and alone, so he isn't technically a vulture, but he's probably the sweetest, sappiest demon this side of the country. Little kid, he is, but he's got the strength of a knight."
"I see."

He's not saying it directly, but I think Vandis is raising an abandoned RedEye child.

This is the first time I've heard so much about them. Maybe my teacher was racist.

"Bastards of bitches."

The attacker vanished again. Tom is obviously fine.

Well at least you have another sword now.

"Oh man i am so sorry tom."

>>77388
Stay close to Tom and keep your eyes peeled.
Be ready to defend yourself at any moment.

>>77388
"Well... free sword at least!"

Ahhhh

Kick to groin!

>>77397
Nice block, Maria. If his sword is lodged in there good try and jerk him off-balance and swipe at him with your dagger.

>>77397
Knee to groin!

>>77397
If the sword is lodged in the center of the shield, that means it's also lodged in Maria's hand. Does it hurt, though?

Cut him up.

Lodged in shield/hand? Doesn't matter at this point, try to jar it away from him.

>>77397
Good block, return fire!

"Heyyyy, Michael! Man, just swooping in like that to save their lives like that, with that dramatic one-linder, it's totally hot. Look at me, I'm just awash with lust."
"I was going to just beat you into the ground, but for being a smartass, you're doing B's spring cleaning duties."
"I love you."
"That includes the moles."

Ask them what the hell is going on?

"C'mon, let's bring these boys back down to the house. Must be terrified."
"Ma...a...ace is a bit on edge as it is," Tom provides.

>>80519
Continue being terrified and silent and just go with the crazy people. If they both wanted you dead, you'd be dead by now (granted one tried).

>>80519

SUCCESS! they think you're male.
