OOC: A quickie for Isokla, because, simply, I couldn't resist . Btw, like the posts so far, DrowArchmage. They're getting better. [img]smile.gif[/img]
Btw - as a sidenote, do note that this is not personal - it is just Isokla's character and she loathes mercenaries... for reasons to do with her past.

"Address me with such familiarity again and you shall regret it, child." Isokla intoned coldly, her cool blue eyes boring into Zak. "Your ancestral crest means nothing to me, nor do your pathetic threats. Lean in such once more, and you will sorely wish you had not." Her tone was scornful, disregarding Zakaria's words entirely and not bothering to introduce herself.
"I have no need of mercenaries, nay, never would I stoop so low as to hiring one such as you. Jackal." she sniffed, invoking the first half of the term 'dogs of war' "And for all your bragging, I doubt that you have any affinity with those knives of yours whatsoever." Isokla's eyes narrowed as her tone grew even sharper (were such a thing even possible), "You do not appear to have the 'knack' for it, nay, you seem more suited for brawling. After all, that is what you jackal-scum excel at, is it not?"

From the sounds of things, Isokla's distaste of mercenaries ran deep, bordering on personal hatred. If anything, one would mistake her tone of one full not only of cold fury, but also one of utter despise and rebuttal. Far more than was necessary...

As Zak faded back into the shadows, Isokla sneered, "Yes that's right - run like the hound you are. Lurk in the shadows waiting for scraps of carrion. Vulture. Jackal. Dog." She threw back an angry laugh, "Yes, we run like such children. Any fool can kill another - knowing restraint takes more than you obviously have." she rolled her eyes in disgust, "It is clear now who is the real child here... and I am done wasting words on you. Begone, jackal and do not show your face around here again. I cannot keep you from travelling with us, but pray that you are not wounded, for with such an attitude, none here will aid you. Nay, if they left you to rot, they would do this land a favour. You and all of your kind should die in agony like the dogs you are - and calling you that does a disservice to dogs!"

Edit: So you all know, Isokla keeps her tone clear, but low - and very sharp and crisp. It is plain that she makes no attempt to hide her words, and indeed, if everyone else is silent, you should hear the entire exchange between them - especially as she pulls back from Zak after he leans in. Just so you know. I forgot to add it in the actual post... sigh. Ah well. [img]smile.gif[/img] .
