| Yolta sighted, couldn’t he enter a village peacefully for a change?
Slowly, he turned around, showing himself to be harmless. The guard’s eyes widened as he saw more of this creature, standing in the middle of the village he had vowed to protect, and he wondered how this… thing had gotten in.
Yolta put on his most charming smile, though he knew it would mean little to the guard.
He approached the small blue figure. It was leaning heavily on a wand, an expensive looking one too. Other then that, he looked pretty simple, as to be expected from an xvart. A white beard decorated his face and it smiled at him friendly.
The guard leaned over and looked down at Yolta, his sword still drawn.
“How did you get in here?” He asked loudly, demanding an answer. “Speak!”
“Your vigilance is commendable.” Proper etiquette had proved effective at such accessions in the past. Yolta’s eyes glanced over the guard’s uniform. “Sergeant” He added and smiled again. “But I assure you, I pose no thread to you or your community.”
The sergeant just stared at this creature, every thing was wrong about it. Normally xvarts are violent and savage, quite the opposite of the one standing before him.
Yolta continued. “As for your enquiry how I entered, well, this is simple. Through the front gate, how else could I passed your watchful gaze?”
Talking like this got on his nerves, Yolta preferred simple and casual conversation. He pointed towards the front gate, towards the guard who saw him appear just a minute ago. “He let me in about fifteen minutes ago.”
