Diego Red jerked to a stop, and turned awkwardly to face the lick again. With a nervous voice, he responded.
"Keep... track of the blob? Hmm... Alright, I suppose I could do that. But, don't expect me to... Attack it or anything. My power isn't suited for attacking something... Indefinite like that..."
Diego trailed off, meeting Konka's stare. It looked like he was being analyzed.... Good! He had been waiting for an opportunity to spread word of his "background". Filling his voice with sureness, he spoke.
"Ah... That's right, you don't know me exactly. I am a royal executioner. I've killed... An uncountable amount of people... Which is why, I suppose, I ended up here..." Diego drew his mythril knife, from the sheath hidden under his shirt. "This is my tool, you see. If I channel it with wind magic-" he paused, swirling the air around the blade, pretending that that was how it was used. "I can kill a man instantly by cutting them and sending air through the brain."
Diego kept a slightly worried face, but was actually elated that his lie worked out so well. In fact, an executioner wasn't too far from his actual... Job. The only difference was that an executioner did not choose or seek out it's kill. Diego quickly ran over the godwoman's discription of him. Being an executioner covered most of those points... The only thing that was questionable was his nickname- "earworm." While it was good she hadn't mentioned that his full title was "The Earworm Killer," the information was still troubling. He quickly began thinking about another cover, a lie that could explain "earworm." Then, he relaxed a little. There was no need for him to explain himself unless directly questioned. Quickly, he spoke again, changing the topic.
"So, my aeromagic is mostly only useful against things with blood and brains. I can also use small projectiles, but try not to rely on me here."
As he spoke, he warily glanced over towards the two technology users. With the staring contest cut short, Konka spoke a small affirmation, and turned his attention towards Hoss. Calm walked to the left, getting some space between him and Konka so they wouldn't be easy targets.
Diego nodded, backed off and leaned against a pillar, casually watching the two technology users approach, while carefully keeping the blob in eye. The situation was becoming tense, now. Was it time now, time for this god's playing board to lose a piece? Diego waited, hungrily. What ever happened, he'd make sure to take the best of it for himself.
