[ Alacruun, for his part, is finding the fear rather amusing. Mostly because he's something of an asshole, but also because it means he can still inspire fear in people. He relishes that. It gives him a little bit of power, even if he's going to try and put on a relatively friendly face for everyone. No sense in making too many enemies just yet, after all. Or killing people who might be useful.

That sort of thing. ]

Well, we can't all be civilized creatures, I suppose.

[ He inspects his talons for a moment, a low rumble echoing in his chest as he considers. His attention piques again when Alistair mentions that there's something going on with the sword. ]

Oh? I'm not entirely sure. I know there's something about this place that makes me feel a bit uncomfortable. I wonder if they're related. It might be worht considering or looking into, but... how long are we really going to be here?

[ Oh, wait, introductions. ]

Ah! You may call me Alacruun. A... pleasure to meet you. I'm sure.
