Jaixe listened, visibly appearing to be merely mildly interested, but inwardly he was very curious. This death knight has thus far proven to be a worthy adversary in this little game. He was wishing to not be disappointed with this final maneuver. Though when Raal gave his proposal, Jaixe was initially stunned. Almost visibly so, if it weren’t for the large measure of self-control he had attained through experience. This being, this dark knight, was also quite the gambler as it turned out. A gambler willing to push their own agendas forward no matter the cost or reason.
Jaixe started with a low chuckle, and then proceeded to laugh more noisily, continuing with his reply after several moments where he could not help but feel so greatly humored and entertained like never been before. “A gambler I may be, but never quite as bold as you it seems. You would so willingly offer an agreement where we may use each other as pawns in our own agendas, freely and openly, to achieve goals that would be in both of our interests?” He commented on the proposal, laughing some more at the idea. “It would be too rude for me to pass such a generous offer up, wouldn’t it?”
“I suppose I will have to concede defeat to you in this little game. I would never take such a risk with a being I hardly know and understand, but you seem the least troubled by such. Very well, we shall be partners in this foreign world. At least, for however long that may last. I have learned that these worlds hold no certainty, and Omni has subverted reality for his own games.”
Jaixe’s right ear seemed to twitch as he turned his head, eyeing the large blue troll that hid behind the bookshelf. He had heard and, truthfully, felt that he was being watched from a distance, and desired to see what the source of that was. “I wonder if your friend would be so willing to accept me as you are.” Jaixe murmured, barely audible for others to hear, before turning back to the death knight.
Jaixe repositioned himself on the couch, uncrossing his legs to don a less relaxed posture. “Though I must ask, what is it that you truly desire? You act with more purpose than I, and you seek allies, though I do not yet comprehend the purpose. You speak of gaining power, but that can be obtained without the need to share it with others. And with your intellect, despite however frail your vanguard may be, it would not take so much effort. For what reason do you require the likes of me, or that blue troll, to the point that you would risk a great deal to achieve, I wonder…?”
