Why was fate conspiring against him? Mere moments after entering the library through the windowed doors, a couple of skeletons, one of which was garbed in black and riding atop a horse, shoved him aside as they walked through. With them was a tall, green humanoid far bigger and muscular than he thought was normal, and all were dressed rather oddly, raggedly in fact, as if they were barbaric or from an entirely different era. If it weren’t for the sheer absurdity being displayed, he would’ve shouted out then and there or rip asunder the arrogance that was being put on in front of his eyes. He stifled his annoyance and frustration again, deigning to listen to what the man spoke to the green troll, who was promptly dismissed from the horseman’s presence for the time being.
Jaixe didn’t quite understand why at the time, but he felt somewhat compelled to follow the rider. Perhaps the absurd showboating had won his senses over? Ridiculous. No, the rider might have knowledge he needs or may find intriguing at the very least. Though, a chance to tear apart those shoddily conjured bone piles would be far too enticing to pass up at this junction. Revenge can be quite satisfying for the affront those walking corpses gave him.
As Raal continued forward, deeper into the library, Jaixe followed from a distance. He attempted looking as inconspicuous as he could manage, though he was a far cry from being a master at stealth and subtlety. He also figured that anyone who would so gladly, and loudly announce their presence was at least secure in knowing when they were being trailed, though Jaixe wanted to test that hypothesis.
