It Never Rains, But It Pours

[Retane]

Retane barely had time to take cover as the footsteps got closer. The Namek crouched low and put his back to the wall, barely in the shadows of the fountain as the footsteps came to a halt. The Namekian peered around the edge to look on at a ruffled vagabond of sorts. The newcomer stared down into the fountain before he reached in and cupped a hand of water only to bring it in and drink it down.

He repeated it a second time, and the Namek could only try to get a better few of the stranger as he felt his guard was down. He was a dark cloak of sorts with brown hair. He seemed human in all aspects, similar to Arith. Retane didn't stop to wonder how he was able to discern that the mans race or even sex, nor did he have time to. As he was leaning out his fott had lost footing and he had to jerk back suddenly or fall forward and be exposed.

Retane wanted to curse himself for his folly. He knew he had made a noise of some sort then and that the vagabond had heard it. The Namek heard the shuffling of the human's feet once, and again and again. Retane could only guess that the man was wondering if his mind were playing tricks on him and trying to discern where he had heard the noise actually come from.

The Green Warrior simply shook his head in a low sigh and stood up and walked from his hiding spot out into the open.

The man's eyes snapped to and focused on Retane then as the Namekian folded his arms and looked sideways at the man. "Who are you?"

Retane noticed the staff in the man's hand. The question was simple enough, and the Namek could only look down at the ground wondering exactly how imposing he was looking right now. He was taller then the man, had a dark green vest and loose pants as well as black boots. He was most likely alien to the man with his green skin, pointed ears and antennae that protruded from his head. Fear hadn't actually struck the face of the man, but it was something more like anxiousness or something. Retane couldn't put his hands on it but he was certain that he did in fact look imposing enough.

"It was you that came upon me. Perhaps I should be the one asking that question before I give such an answer?" Retane opened his eyes and shot a glance to see what the stranger would do in response.
