Kast smiled predatorily at the blushing young Sluagh as he scooted closer to
where she was sitting, his sharp talons clacking against the ground.
"You're quite right, my dear, but then haven't we all something of an
unkindness about is?  Aren't we all creatures of man's darkest desires here
tonight?  As far as shrieking goes... well, I prefer to do all my shrieking
in more," he pauses slightly, searching for the right word, "more intimate
surroundings."

He sat back in the chair taking in the whole of the oathcircle, "But tell me
more about yourselves.  You recognize me, but I must say I've never seen nor
heard of a one of you til this evening.  What do you fine fae do when not at
the fun fair?"
