He winces slightly then sighs and walks over to the tree pulling one of the stronger ones off of his chest "You need two..." He says as he holds the other scale out to him. The scales are a light blue-ish white color on the outer edge but a deep blue on the inner one hinting at his true color... "You could have asked..." he says with a sigh

He coughs and shakes his head "I always thought I was more like a dragonfly... They bite harder and I'v never seen one actually stuck in a web..." he looks at his claws idly "You'll need to heat them up if your going to cut them otherwise they will probably become frayed along the edges..." he adds casually

"Mmh." There is a loud sound like an explosion and some manaical laughter as well as pleased giggles. Wow, this man is truely crazy. Then there is a loud ripping sound and a low gasp of... pleasure?

He shudders and looks away towards... why did he hear horses all the way out here... Living ones atleast "Do you bleed like me?" he asks as he glances at some of the blue blood he left where he had pulled the tree out of his neck...

blue blood yes yes lots of it we slow the heart down and the blood. There is a fleshy sound and another gasp of pleasure, then Susurrus reappears, bluish blades flashing. Blood covers him, thick and blue. The mask shows no emotion, but he is clearly curious as to the horses.
"Ahhh.."

Thalron sighs "Then I guess they are after both of us..." he says as he motions towards a just appearing cart.
The cart is about twice as tall as a person and pretty wide although it seems to just ignore the trees and sorroundings, Arrow slits cover the edges and a small ballista is mounted on the top made to be able to turn in any direction. Upon it reaching view arrows shoot out at the two and several people on horses charge from behind the cart ready with swords... They all apear to be elves

Susurrus's thin body lowers to the ground and he wanders over to the cart, not really seeming to care and keeping well out of range and view. lots and lots, oh yes... red blood will stain white snow today, oh yes..and there will be pain.

Thalron stands watching for afew moments as several arrows simply bounce off his scales then he looks over at Susurru "Why do you want pain?" he asks as he slams a hand down into the ground sending up snow and ice around himself as he burrows into the ground, making it impossible for the others to see him as he does so.
One of the arrows flies out straight at Susurru even though he is out of view but whatever had shot the arrow was also concealed from vision

pain is sweet sweetest thing in this world all there is is pain so i embrace it. embrace what you cannot change and you will find pleasure in all.
The arrow is easily deflected with one new blade, and Susurrus walks quickly in that direction. He's found his prey.

The arrow jingles as it hits the ground and the people get out of the wagon to search for Susurrus keeping in formation as the advance from behind him.
Several more arrows fire down at him from somewhere to his left but again no one is seen or heard, The arrows seeming to appear simply out of the darkness
"There is nothing you cannot change, But you do speak with more wisdom than most would guess at a glance. I do not embrace pain because... so many have before me..." he says with his mind as he tunnels somewhere underground

i find pleasure in pain and it as always been so. i just learned to embrace that truth and now all the hurt is joy and... extacy. they cannot understand this.
The voice trails off as Susurrus looks around. He curses his blindness mentally, as his eyes had once been like a hawks. Now, however, he could not find what he had once been able to. An arrow bounces off his mask and he snarls visiously, casting a spell to allow him to see heat patterns in the dark of the trees.

All was cold and nothing stirred untill one of the archers that had embarked on foot was able to get a clear look of where Susurrus was and shouted it to the others, At that moment something in the trees did stir but it gave off no heat or it was as cold as the sorroundings.
The archers on foot probably have no idea what they are chasing probably figuring its some madman running around the woods...
Behind them even farther there is a crashing sound and one of the horses shrieks before going silent only a slowly rising pillar of dust indicates what happened.

Susurrus watches them come, blades sliding in and out of his hands so that he can adjust to the new feel. These were much more precice, much more deadly.. He leaps up onto the tree and scales it quickly, shooting up into the top branches in a time that it takes most people to say "Cheepsie-cheepsie-cheese!"

Six archers were all that had come out of the wagon and there they stood drawing their arrows preparing to fire at Susurrus but something seemed wrong with them they didn't take any cover the just stood in their formation as they opened fire.
The sharpshooter that had attacked earlier did not fire... Atleast not yet and the arrows that had been fired by seemed to vanish upon hitting or being deflected.
"Are you going to kill them? They could barely hit you if you stood still" Thalrons mind voice asks him as strange waves of anger pulse through his mind...
