All I'm asking is that you-" A quiet, jingle was heard and the door creaked open behind him. He stopped midsentence and glanced behind him. Out of the corner of his eye he saw a small female figure, which he automatically assumed was an elf. He reached around towards the back of his neck to readjust his tunic automatically, making sure his marks were covered."Nevermind," , he mumbled, "we're done here." Emrios straightened up and his voice was curt and diplomatic. "Thanks for your help", he did a little nod towards shopkeeper. The shopkeeper gave him a sympathetic glance. "I'm sorry I couldn't do more for you. Please excuse my forwardness, but young man, why do you wish to hide something that's part of you? I mean, as far as I can see you have no physical deformities." Emrios's eyes flashed and he was silent for a second. When he responded, his voice was all curt, and held none of the passion it had before, "That's not your concern. Thank you again for your assistance" He head pulled his hood over his eyes, making sure they were covered, and avoided eye contact with the girl. He walked slowly towards the entrance. "Sir, if I may.. have you heard of biohazard? You might want to be more careful around here.." the shopkeeper said suddenly.

He glanced at the shopkeeper. Emrios heard the tiny (although she seemed to be elf-height) bystander's remark. He caught a glimpse of her pale skin. So it's either another elf, or a very sun deprived human. he thought. He guessed it was, most likely, the latter. After all, why would a human dislike the sun?   After she left, he also left, the tinkling sound announcing his departure..

He followed a short distance behind the girl.  Better keep my distance at least a little bit, he thought, as he remembered - he looked nothing like an elf at the moment besides his height, and his eyes and even then it was hard to notice. For an elf he was tall - standing around 5"3.   I look like a midget.  he grimaced. Being a midget could be worse than being an elf, they lacked the fear factor elves had. Realizing it might be more unnerving to the potential elf, or very short human, that he was following her, he increased his pace until he was walking alongside her, and then matched her stride. He wished her hood was down so he could ascertain whether she was human or not without revealing himself. After all, for a human he had a strange eye color, it did give some cause for suspicion. He couldn't check her race, without arousing suspicious or giving questions which might lead to the discover of the shameful cosmetic he had applied. Guess I'll have to let it be a mystery for now.. better say something, he thought.

Actually, Emrios had no idea how to start the conversation, he almost never really encountered his own. He usually avoided them, but he had to know more about this Bio hazard group.  If he played it well, he could find out information, and if he acted well she would just think of him as another townsfolk."..Miss," he began, his voice a little quiet. "regardless of bio hazard.. you might want to consider bringing a companion - people here usually don't take kindly to others of different stature." Emrios meant that literally, however he was mostly going off rumors he had heard. He hadn't been in the town much.  He mused as he looked up towards the sky, his hand on the back of his head casually to keep his hood from slipping, "Regarding biohazard, no one knows what powers they have so.. they have a tactical advantage over us if they are hostile."  He just assumed information from what he just heard in conversation. "How did you learn about them..? or I guess when, since it seems to be the talk of the town.." he said, vaguely recalling people talking about something on his way here. He hoped she wouldn't ask about his lack of knowledge on current events.

"Me..?" He arched his eyebrow and he seemed to be amused. "I guess I could be...", he said, and the corners of his mouth turned slightly upward, just a hint of a smile.  Mixed powers.. that could be troublesome... he thought with a small sigh. "Powers seem to bring just a lot of opinions, and lots of dissent among people." Emrios had to refrain from saying humans specifically. He was hearing her continue about what she had read,

BOOM!!

 A deafening sound  drowned out any semblence of thought. Emrios' sensitive ears rang. What the hell? he thought. He turned to look behind him, and thought he saw smoke far away in the distance. "A bomb? That's what it seems to be...", he said, quickly glancing towards his companion. He caught a glimpse of the girl's pointed ears, and breathed a sigh of relief. At least now I know she's an elf now."....and an elf." he said a quiet soft laugh. "Is it so bad being one?" Emrios feigned ignorance, as an occasionally a friendly human would ask him idiotic questions because he was a novelty.

Seeing the tv screen, Emrios noticed a female reporter standing near a gym. The realization made him stiffen.The bomb is close, much closer than I had previously thought. He cursed himself for making such a mistake. Emrios heard a female reporter say something about people thinking the elves were at fault for the attack. His blood turned cold and he turned quickly towards the female elf next to him, his ethereal eyes flashed in the sunlight and he prayed his eyes wouldn't cause her to question his race. After all humans have strange colored eyes right? He hoped so. "Miss..," Emrios felt stupid for not knowing her name, "it's not safe here anymore.. you should get to safety. Who knows what these people will do to elves - they're scared, and irrational.", he said bluntly.
