But once again he was struck down by the evil called morales, not wanting to take more then offered from a man who stated he had no coins. Of course Jaylor right off the back began to doubt the man's words, but still he wasn't the type to steal from the poor. He looked into the human's eyes, "And what exactly do you plan to do with the power you seem to want. Take over the world? Though I doubt that is your goal, don't have the air or look about as the type with military ambition." "My guess is personal gain, as you have stated already that you are not from here it can't be loyalty to your land, unless it's to a foriegn one." His eyes didn't waver from the human's, "So tell me what this is that would have to risk my neck for?" Jaylor's normally playful personality seemed to change before the man's eyes, as he turned to talk of business rather then breakfast.
