OOC: I have no idea what your talking about, Splat. It's always been illuminate... ignore the "Last edited by arkaznor :" part. It's irrelevant.
IC: Ark noted that the Vykker was following him, and had placed his syringe back into his bag.
"But not the blade, great. Well it was more than I was expecting," Ark muttered under his breath.
Ark keep a careful watch on him (Krik) out of the corner of his eye, as they walked down the hall. His tattoos finally begian to settle down, but Ark thought that anyone that wasn't blind (like this guy seemed to be) could still tell that they were glowing.
It than occurred to Ark that he probably wasn't going to get another chance to ask this Vykker his question, since he was calmer than ever (in Ark's memory), and after he did what he had to with the other Mudokon he would probably disappear again.
"If you don't mind, and if it's not sensitive information, may I ask about the Mudokon I'm taking you to? I mean, the only other female Mudokon I've seen before coming here was tall and lengthy, she towered over us workers; but this one looks much more like a worker? Is she just a lot younger than I think she is or is there a reason for it?"
Ark paused before adding (in an attempt to not set this guy off again), "If you can or wouldn't mind answering, of course... Er... Mr.-, Prof.-, Dr. -?"
OOC:
In case you can't tell, Ark is asking for Kriks' name in a round about way.
Also, while writing my last post, I left out the line "You win." for the longest time, due to Ark being someone who never wants to admit that he's wrong. And it was only as I reread it (apparently not carefully enough, though) that I added it since it seemed like it would be unlikely Kirk would actual follow, unless Ark said it. Seems like a good thing I did.
