Dimensional Descent

Leonel didn't respond, looking at the blue runed Rapax deeply.

"Third purchaser?" He asked.

"You don't need to try to hide it. My race is a bit simpleminded, but we aren't stupid. I can clearly see what sort you are."

Leonel's lip curled, and his body form changed. He grew ten inches and his features smoothed out, becoming more handsome. Not that it made a difference to the Rapax. To them, his change might as well have been a fox changing the tinge of their fur a bit. The Rapax were probably the only humanoid Race not obsessed with the actual human form. In a lot of ways, they were far more like beasts than they were like humanoids.

"No, you don't know what sort I am."

"Then why did you just expose yourself?"

"Because I felt like it. If you really knew something, it wouldn't take a kid's slip up to get you to question me."

The young Rapax blushed. Well, his runes lit up a bit and flickered as he turned away. But same difference.

"That's not a really good enough reason." The blue runed Rapax replied, sending a glance at the young Rapax. He had never seen Shadowclaw react like this to anything. "How do you know Shadowclaw?"

"I don't," Leonel shrugged.

"Is there a need to lie at this point?" The blue runed Rapax felt a bit annoyed by Leonel's condor at this point. Ultimately, he was in the Seventh Dimension. In fact, he was in Tier 7, the higher stratosphere of the Dimension. Leonel, on the other hand, was just in the Fifth Dimension.
