The Soldier, the Poet and the Ruler (3/3)

(It's fine, have fun with the play! I was just curious why you haven't posted much.)
Aaron was wary as the scales grew while the bandit simply grinned, yet managed to keep an annoyed glare towards him for ignoring the question. He adjusted his paws as the bandit king started taking a more dragon-like form, having to keep himself from flinching at the sound of cracking bones. Silently thankful his shifting focused more around the soul like the rest of his magic. "I don't care what you think. Where is it? You aren't answering me." He snapped. He didn't even know the other's name yet, his fur bristling to look threatening while he tried to think of a plan, only knowing he needed to think of something to deal with a dragon rather than a human thief.

(Btw what brought about the new username Lex?)
Aaron was tense, claws out, not even realizing the strings were tightening around the other’s wings as he growled to hide the question his expression would otherwise show. He’d seen people get overconfident before, but this guy seemed like he thought he would never die. The thought made his temper flare. “Fine. You can tell me after that smirk is wiped off your face.” Aaron snarled. Swiping at the bandit’s face he ignored the brief pain of the growing scales being tougher than he expected, instead pushing himself up and away from the bandit as he shifted back to his human form. His magic summoned a small foxfire and knife, though the plan was to not hurt the male too badly. He needed answers, he needed the watch, but he had to focus to get either. “Before I remind you that you have something called mortality, what's your name? I, unlike you, don't want to keep calling you 'bandit boy'." He scowled, seeming to be annoyed just remembering the supposed bandit king's comment of fox boy.
(idk what I'm doing. I'm posting super late where I'm at. ._.)

"Alright, Crimson, you're lucky you have the watch or you'd be in a lot worse of a situation right now," Aaron spoke, hate slipping into his words as he said the other's name. He glared, trying too figure out this 'king' that appeared to think so highly of himself. No one was above mortality, not even those who seemed like they'd live forever. There were always ways to have life cut short… He blinked to get back his focus, now wasn't the time to think of that. "Then what's my name? If you actually know it I suggest using it, I don't have much patience with you." He didn't even realize it himself but he was stalling. He didn't want to fight when he'd had no sleep and no food. He didn't want to go against someone that seemed reasonable enough to talk to, even if they were annoying. Yet his grip tightened around the knife, not dropping his guard, glancing every so often to see what others were doing. Waiting for an answer from Crimson he even glanced to the red-headed girl seemingly observing them and the situation, cautious of what she might do.

Aaron furrowed his brows in thought, trying to keep his expression from showing his agitation. He just had to make sure Crimson didn't get hurt. Right? Once again thankful he had his mask to hide his face from the market people he stomped his foot, sending strings to tie up more than the bandit's wings with nothing so much as acknowledgment to those that backed up further. If the strings snagged the king his annoyance would most likely leave Crimson with the magic lowly tightening. He growled, tone dark, "If you don't know my name, don't lie about it. If you do, start using it before I decide a few cuts won't keep you from answering my questions." He threatened. He couldn't stand the mockery, a low growl rising in his throat despite the back of his mind telling him he was being messed with. "Where's the watch?"
(I'm going to bed now. Goodnight!)

(Sounds good. Hopefully Shadow is okay with it.)

(Hello! Sorry to bump this but none of my RPs have been active. Then again I'm only in two, maybe I should join another…)

(Hey, Shadow!)
(Sorry, this isn't really a bump. Just me wondering what you're doing with this. If you'd rather drop it I'll just go ahead and find another RP, but I won't if this is still active. So this is me double-checking before I look through the RP threads.)

(I was wondering about that. Welcome back!)

(By the way… Do you prefer being called Lex or Logan? I've seen you use Logan on a few more recent threads if I remember correctly, plus it's in your username.)

(Alright! Good to know, and if you ever switch it feel free to correct me on what name to use.)

(No problem! Also Shadow? You never really gave a clear answer on whether this will be continued or if I should start looking for something else to join.)

(Hey guys! I've been trying to pull off Notebook discussions so I'm going to pull out of most of my RP except for the ones the I have been in forever (namely Altir city) and maybe some ones shots. I'm sorry. Maybe we can try to start this up later or you can steal this idea for another RP with someone else.)

(That's alright! I just needed to know so I was sure I wouldn't be in too many threads. Also I stopped bumping Altir over the break so it might be dead… but I left that saying if anyone posts it can be picked up again. Like you said we can start this some other time, if you think you need to drop some discussions that's fine!)
