(OOC: The hex stuff looks nice. :) Gratz on that and the new computer!)
Chestnut gives Mittens a biiiig smile for the compliments on his music and taunting capabilities.
"Love you too, Mittens." he half-sings.
"And without you competing for taunt lord status, I wouldn't be keeping my words quite as sharp."
James can have the tower. Frankly, kender don't understand claiming permanent ownership of things you can't fit in your pocket. They are such transitory creatures, after all... Besides! James called dibs.
And then ankheg happens.
"I love it when he says play time." Chestnut comments as he takes that as his cue to pull his violin to his cheek and begin playing! Meiou called dibs on showing off, so Chestnut will forgo doing a forward-flip off the wagon and simply hops down.
"My my... aren't you a big fellow. Too bad you can't talk. Guess it's gonna be a musical number this time!" Most would find a 4-inch tall mantis to be terrifying, let alone a mantis big enough to battle Autobots. But adventurers are usually a little touched in the head. In Chestnut's defense, his entire race doesn't understand or experience fear like other mortals.
