"Call it a morbid curiosity ... and perhaps, I can keep my neck off their list of people to kill .. my reputation ... isn't the greatest" Daebru rubs the back of his neck, glancing up at Gorthan through his long eyelashes, "I don't know why they killed those that they did, but Baer said you would know more about the ... vigilante than he does. So... how about it?"

"They're a friend, and I don't want them in trouble" he grumbles folding his massive muscled arms over his chest, the scent of sulfur hitting Daebru's nose as the dragonborn moves around.

Daebru's eyes keep drifting over the dragonborn's form, all muscle, shirtless I'm short enough that this height difference is very awkward, if I weren't craning my neck to look up at him I would be staring at his eight pack .. being short has disadvantages. "They could become my friend too, I..." Daebru glances around then looks down at his feet a moment, "I don't have many people I can call friends ... even less I can call family..." he mutters the last bit.

"After the show then, I'll bring you out to her, More friends are always good" he beams and pats Daebru on the head affectionately, startling Daebru to look up at him confused, "We're friends now," Gorthan nods like it's now a fact rather than a question or suggestion.

Daebru lets out an airy chuckle, "I suppose, but I'm warning you now I'm a rather terrible friend" he gives a sideways smirk to the dragonborn before they join the others around a table, "Hey!" he greets them with practiced cheeriness.

"Haaru!" Alinor wraps an arm around the young man's shoulders pulling him into a seat and sliding food in front of him, "Eat up, doll! Made these myself!" he leans close to whisper in Daebru's ear, "just for you" his thumb caresses the young man's cheek lightly.

Daebru smiles up at him, too close! "T-thank you, Alinor" he leans back in the seat a bit moving away from the flirty man.

"You're hopeless," Draena, the human alchemist shakes her head, her fire red hair catching in the light and looking like actual flames moving around her, "give the girl a break, not everyone is comfortable with flirts like you" she points a fork in his direction.

"You wound me" the man put a hand over his heart leaning back and then falling into his chair. He looks over to Daebru, "tis just my nature, when presented with a beauty such as yourself."

"You flatter me, but flattery is not everything" Daebru's words come out a bit harsher than intended and he shrinks away from the few stares he gets from around the table, "so.. everyone knows what they're doing for the performance tomorrow yeah?" They all nod, Gorthan just gives a big grin, "Then I need to work on my solo pieces tonight rather than the group part," he eats in silence and excuses himself before Alinor has a chance to change his mind.

*SCRITCH SCRITCH*

Daebru's eyes flutter open looking around the dark room what was that?

*SCRITCH SCRITCH*

He reaches up his hand pulling his dagger out from under his pillow, as he looks to the window where the sound is coming from, someone's there! The sound stops for a moment and beady yellow eyes look in at him, nightshine like an animals, but the form is too humanoid. Daebru swallows nervously as the window starts to slide open and the figure snakes it's head into the room looking at Daebru, oh shit! there's a soft noise somewhere between a purr and a growl that comes from the creature.

Daebru keeps himself still, his eyes mostly closed at this point as he watches the shadow move into the room and stalk towards his bed, calm, wait for the right moment... he can feel the thing breathing on him, slime hits his neck and slowly rolls onto the bed, gross... the bed sags as the creature climbs slowly over the top of him, what!? oh gods it's ... why is it hard!? another growl as the thing leans down close...

*SHING!*

"ARROOO!!!" The thing rears back and Daebru makes a dash for the door, throwing it open and racing down the hall.

"Haaru!" a hand grabs him pulling him into another room, the fold of wings wrap around him protectively, and magic swells around him, "We gotta take care of it, if it's rampaging like this" Sune's voice wavers a bit before he straightens and nods to Daebru.

The creature, a rogue werepanther, steps in front of the open door, "rrrr~" it sniffs the air and it's tongue lolls out as he crouches low, for it is a he given what Daebru felt just moments ago. Disgusting .. it wanted ... just disgusting... it launches and is caught in a stream of fire followed by a wave of ice slamming into it's chest.

Sune steps between Daebru and the beast, "calm yourself, or perish" his voice soft, and full of magic You're trying to help the thing that just tried to rape me in my sleep! Daebru's eyes widen in panic looking up at Sune's back.

The creature moves again, slashing out at Sune this time and letting out a wail of pain as ice pierces it's flesh and sink deep into it's body, Sune pulls out a silvered sword, the light catching it as it arcs down and lops off the werepanther's head, "unfortunate..." Sune mutters as the form shifts back to a human form, eyes staring at Daebru.

You'll never have me... as his knees give out and he sinks into Sune's embrace "I've got you Haaru" the last thing he hears before the darkness of sleep takes him.
