He glances through the texts. "Warm... lots of water... humid... places of death and... decomposition."
He looks up, unblinking milk-white eyes staring at Vinny. "The sewers." He begins to put the scrolls away. "Unfortunate that... I cannot come... to help aid you."
Vinny can't help but smirk a bit and then shrug his shoulders to N'Kantu's words. "Y'know, I kinda wish I was flammable, then I could stay behind with you." he says. "I may not be wrapped in muslin, but I know that stink isn't going to come off easy.."
"Don't worry... your... cigarettes will mask... the odor."
Vinny just rolls his eyes and nods his head to N'Kantu. "I know... I know.. y'dont like me smoking. I just haven't found a good enough reason to quit yet."
"Fair is... fair. I keep... things deadly to you... hidden away." He puts the books away, his back to Vinny. "I am sure... I will find... the escaped scorpion... soon enough."
Vinny just cringes, much as N'Kantu is probably expecting him to do. "I swear, if I find any scorpions before you do, I'm gonna smoosh 'em." he says before he gives another shudder. "Creepy little freakin' things.."
N'Kantu inclines his head to Vinny in a polite bow, but says nothing. |
