Virose clutched his chest in mid heartattack. "Oh my Goddess," he breathed, his body going limp as it crumbled under the weight of impending doom. He wanted off the ride and out of the handbasket!

Alkesh glanced over in concern. "Are you well, Virose? I can heal your ailments, I do not mind."

Virose just looked at him. "How the hell are you so calm? I've been telling you from the beginning that i'm very good at failing and yet you're so damn calm!" he gave way into pure panic.

"It is a skill," Alkesh smirked, tail tip flicking. "Besides, Luvya led me to you, and I trust my Goddess. If you cannot trust in yourself, trust in her."

Virose's eye twitched. "Trust the Goddess? Okay. Sure. I do. I believe everyone has a purpose, but mine is NOT being a hero!" He prepared to jump. "Mine is to train animals- and not very well."

Alkesh shrugged. "I have taken a vow never to directly harm another living being, and yet my own talents are in forging weapons. Weapons only serve one purpose: to bring harm. Ironic also, is it not?"

Virose looked the giant, clawed lizard up and down. "... You mean to say that you're not allowed to hurt anyone?"

"That is correct. I will not raise a hand to another being, not even in self defence. However, unlike my brothers and sisters, I cannot stomach vegetables and fruits easily and must eat the flesh of animals. That is the only exception I permit myself to make, however."

Virose sat up a little straighter, though most of it was outrage. He had given in to this whole thing because he was sure the lizard could have made him do so through violence! So now he sat here... of what? His own free will? That wasn't right. "So if i said i was leaving you'd what? Have to deal with it?" he questioned.

An evil little smile crossed the lizard's face. "I am not above eating the flesh of humans," he added conversationally, urging the horse to go a little faster.

All the upperhand nonsense he had thought he had gained was snatched away from him, ripped to shreds and spat on... and the beast of a horse was now moving even faster so jumping off was NOT an option, though Virose did scoot further away from the lizard with a soft squeak of, "Oh."

Alkesh smiled to himself. Truly, he never would eat a human, but if it kept Virose going, then yes, suddenly he was the ruthless, man-eating priest.

Virose sat quietly for the next few hours, pondering the end of the world and how it was to be- oh joy- his fault. The beast horse powered on even as the sun sank lower in the sky and Virose began keeping a slightly watchful eye out for thieves as they loved to take advantage of tired travelers who thought that darkness meant sleep.

"We should find a place to spend the night. We mustn't tire the horse, after all. Any suggestions?"

"Somewhere off the road if we can find a way to get the horse and wagon into the trees," Virose replied unhelpfully.
