Grinning manically, Derris drummed his fingers against his jawline in pretend thought, enjoying the way Seidra eyed him apprehensively.
"Well, how about this time, we call it an order, since last time it was a suggestion." he replied, switching his gaze to the girl next to him. "So, your name is Seidra, is it?" He asked, pretending to be interested. The girl nodded hesitantly, falling into her customary bow as she introduced herself.
"Yes sir. It's a pleasure to meet someone of your ranking." she commented, glad that she was able to keep her voice from trembling, and avoid the stutter that so wanted to present itself.
Derris cocked an eyebrow at her, his grin becoming less malicious, though if only by miniscule incraments.
"Polite, aren't you? Good. At least someone around here knows how to speak properly. Now, off to your rounds, Kituki. I'll escort this one back to her house." he commanded, grabbing the Aranetil's shoulder before she could say goodbye to her new friend and spinning her around in the direction she had been going before he had stopped the pair, applying force to keep her moving without looking back.
