@RubyWolf1010 [All three heads laugh at the rather pathetic attempt at freeing themselves.]
you = the first person we've seen around here.
.We.might.as.well.have.fun.with.you.
ENTERTAINMENT SEEMS TO BE THE ONLY THING YOU'RE GOOD FOR.
@RubyWolf1010 [Acting quickly, it dropped the corpse somewhere behind it. Using its now free hand, it grabs the Questioner's two front legs and rolls them onto their back, holding them there in a strange half hog tie.]
YOU LOOK A LOT BETTER WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING UP AT US.
@RubyWolf1010 [It swung its blade, aiming for the Questioner's shoulder. It was sloppy, only because it's attention and strength had been funneled into the arm holding the corpse. It swung the player directly into their front legs, the initial attack having only been a distraction.]
@RubyWolf1010 [Through gritted teeth, it charged after them. It was determined to keep as little distance between them as possible.]
YOU FIGHT LIKE A COWARD.

@RubyWolf1010 [When they moved, it moved with them. It made sure that the two were always face to face with the frostbrand standing between them and the player dangling behind it.]
MAKE US.
@RubyWolf1010 [Despite its rather half-hearted attempt at de-escalation, it seemed more than eager to continue their little squabble. It held the coprse far out of reach while tightening its grip on its own blade, taking on a wider stance.]
@RubyWolf1010 .Fair.
IT GETS THE JOB DONE.
[Turning away, it stands before the relatively fresh player corpse on the ground. It nudged it with its foot.]
@RubyWolf1010 [It pondered for a moment, the heads glancing between each other as if in silent discussion.]
.Fine.
[Using the tip of the Frostbrand, it slid the blade across the floor over to Ruby.]
not even the real thing?
@RubyWolf1010 [At the sound of the cracking, it turned its full attention towards the Questioner. It tilts it's heads to and fro as it tries to piece together what it was witnessing. Whatever it was, left it utterly enthralled.]
.Intriguing.
truly.
@RubyWolf1010 UGH.
.Useless.
[It removes the Frostbrand from where it dug into the ground. Climbing off of The Questioner, it stands between them and their own sword. Two heads inspected the weapon while the other stared at Ruby.]
@RubyWolf1010 [There was a low chuckle.]
.Wouldnt.you.like.to.know?
[It brought the sword up and stabbed it into the ground right next to their neck. The cold radiating off of the blade almost burned.]
what = this place?
@RubyWolf1010 [The flesh around the blade began to crystalize]
.Ruby.
RUBY.
ruby.
[It tossed the word around as if tasting it. Savoring it.]
pretty.
INAPPROPRIATE FOR SOMETHING LIKE YOU.
@RubyWolf1010 [It pinned The Questioner to the ground with it's weight and shoved their head into the ground. Hard.]
.Us.
[The white head tilts.]
and who = you?
@RubyWolf1010 [.Patience.]
[wait.]
[wait...]
[!!!]
[As soon as the two figures rushed past, it sprang. It rammed itself full force into the Questioner.]
@RubyWolf1010 [The noise the two of them made did not go unnoticed, It remained crouched in shadow, still enough to almost be mistaken for an inanimate, minus the occasional twitch and swivel of it's heads. It bunched it's hind-quarters in preparation to spring.]
