{ Try Me. }

Talon grimaced, resisting the urge to pull his scarf up to hide his scale-freckled face. “Maybe.. who wants to know?”

”Just a curious bystander that's all. No need to hide your scales, they are quite marvelous.” he smirked at the man. ”Curious to see someone travel around alone at such a time. The cold doesn't bother you?”

”No, just depends on how many humans we decide to eat. My brothers prefer a monstrous look while I prefer a practical reasonable human-sized body. Because I fairly enjoy living in a house instead of suffering the cold outside.” his palm papped his chest. ”This is the flesh of a couple of prior hosts, they're so kind to finally give me this body. It's been such a drag to be the third wheel. By giving I mean they finally died off. Which I am ecstatic about.”

“Ah.  So another people-eater.  I respect that and all, but.  Look, my man, if you’re here looking for food, I’m sorry to say this, but my well’s run dry.  I have enough hungry demons and monstrous amalgamations of darkness to attest to.  I’m only one man.  Find another circus.”   

”Unlike my brothers, I am happy to partake in human food as well. The human eating only happens when I'm feeling particularly parched.”

”No, just depends on how many humans we decide to eat. My brothers prefer a monstrous look while I prefer a practical reasonable human-sized body.

“Well aren’t you just a ray of starshine.  You could at least give me some context before you start heckling me, bub.  Who’s your brother?  Did I ruin his life or something?  You look like you’re ready to throw down at any second so that would be my best guess.”   

Pupils dilated as his own crimson gaze fixated in the elder darkins returned stare. Pale lips pulling into a small returned smirk as he took a few approaching steps. “Help, no, I don’t quite think you can. I am just- thrilled, I suppose that is the word for it. To see you walking among us again…”  Although his appearance was that of a mere mortal, when his lips pulled back in a smile the larger Darkin was met with a toothy grin. Fangs lining the inside of his mouth. It was a wonder how exactly those teeth sat so perfectly in such a small area. “You are certainly much bigger than what I remember.” Golden claws clasped behind his back as he spoke.
