He’d been observing the knights’ raids and scouting parties for nearly a month now. Grinning loon he might be, but Ranulf’s education growing up was all about how quickly one could move from Point A to Point B, how to plan those routes, and how to quickly find the safest corner in a room when delivering bad news to large dragons, which applied less here, but still. Mapping out the patrols he’d seen with the ones others had caught, he’d been able to narrow down the origin point to a relatively small area of the forest, which he was now at. The Knights were real big on proving that humans were better than dragons, but they spent an awful lot of time and effort trying to find Elysium too. Seemed kinda weird, unless you knew you weren’t actually strong enough to challenge the dragons of Gorgoth. He wasn’t ready to give that kind of credit to the Knights based on those he’d met. He walked through the woods, his hooded coat reversed, camouflaging him against the trees themselves now, rather than their leaves. He was trying not to use his bonded powers at the moment—the knight would probably know who he was, or at least that he was with Excalibur, but they didn’t know what he could do yet, and the unknown was an advantage. He was walking quietly, as well. Finding their underground entrance would require tact. It would require patience. It would require stealth. It would— … Awwwwww screw it. “HEY! Any knights out there?! I’m looking to join! I’ve got the whole swordplay thing down, and I think with a little training, I’ll be whining on your level too!”TARIN LEVEANTHALBwahahahahaha

Tarin heard a strange loud call behind him and whipped around to see a blonde dude with a wild look on his face. Tarin kept his cool, for now, raising an eyebrow at him and walking toward the guy, crossing his arms over his chest. "You messing with us, punk?" Tarin asked, his voice steady as he tilted his neck from side to side, a slight cracking sound emanating from the movement. Tarin always loved a good fight, especially with someone who was just as cocky as he was. Obviously this boy couldn't be near as talented with a blade as Tarin was, that would be absurd. Plus, Tarin had been training since he was eight years old, and with the knights no less! Still, Tarins true skill lie with his axe. At that moment, his axe was visible, peaking out over his bulky shoulders. Ranulf Argentum North

He didn’t have to wait long for a Knight to appear, a behemoth of a guy with a wicked-looking axe on his back. Next to that, the length of chain wrapped over his chest was singularly unimpressive. Not that that mattered. Ranulf seemed to fit sideways from the norm in every way possible. He looked up at the Knight as the man tried to intimidate him, speaking aggressively and crossing his arms over his sizable chest. Ranulf arched an eyebrow at the man’s question, but rather than answer he said the first thing that entered his head. “Dude, your manboobs are amazing. Do they dance?”With the speed of a striking snake, Ranulf’s hand shot out…to grab the Knight by the nose between his thumb and finger. Expecting the guy to reflexively jerk backwards, he shoved, hoping to overbalance the guy (that axe had to affect his center of gravity), then hopped away. Ranulf wasted no time, scaling a tree with the speed and skill of an expert gymnast, then walked out onto a large branch about ten feet off the ground. He stepped out until he was almost over the Knight, then sat down on the branch. “Nice axe. You got a gun you’re compensating with too?”TARIN LEVEANTHAL

Tarins eyes narrowed as the guy continued to pester him. The blondes hand moved so fast, Tarin didn't even notice his nose was in captivity until the shove came, in which Tarin took a firm step back, holding his ground and straightening out as the menace climbed a tree like some sort of monkey. Tarin looked up, raising an eyebrow at him, "do you always go for petty tricks, or are you going to come down here and give me a real fight?" Tarin growled, rolling his shoulders. He wouldn't take his axe out, not yet. He wanted to see what this guys game was.

Ranulf grinned down at the guy. He was keeping a lid on his temper, but the treerunner had a feeling he’d made the guy madder than he appeared. At the guy’s question, Ranulf stood back up on the branch, but crossed his arms. “Why would I do that? You have already been DEFEATED! Defeated, for all time, by this low-hanging branch! You will never get over the shame of your crushing loss!” He threw back his head, cackling in amusement at the idea of the big, angry guy with the axe, unable to hurt him because he was sitting in a tree.
He looked down again, grinning once more. “So why are you here anyway? The dragon capital is the other way, although I can see why you wouldn’t want to take on Ryluth. I mean, you can’t even handle a low-hanging branch, and she can fly. I think. Most dragons can, anyway. Is that why you’re here? Planning to learn how to defeat trees before you move on to dragons? That explains the axe on your back. Does your neck hurt? You were rolling your shoulders so I was wondering. How do I get manboobs like yours?”
Ah yes, it was good to be the motormouth.

Tarin wasn't really sure what the guy mean by 'defeated for all time' and 'low handing branch' and other dramatic frilly words. Tarin always felt like it was best to say things straight out, and didn't really like to deal with those fancy talkers. Tarin had the urge to just whip out his axe and take a hack at the tree, or the branch, knocking the guy down. But he waited a moment as the guy started to vamp a bit in his insults.
Even if Tarin had wanted to respond, he wouldn't have known exactly what to respond to. The mention of Ryluth was dramatic, of course, and he idea of practicing on trees was insulting, not to mention the manboobs. Tarin finally decided to pull out his axe, removing it in one swift motion and swinging it at the branch where it connected to the tree. His axe was large, and would be strong enough to cut through the branch at least enough to weaken it so it would crack under the snarky guys weight.
Tarin pulled the axe back with an effortless air.
