'Right.'' Polite introductions were a thing, but it could get old pretty fast, so Raphael didn't care about them much past the initial execution. It was just common courtesy to do for most people. With the exception of those odd ones that would introduce you to their fist or such, but that was a completely different matter. ''You don't seem like the type anyway. But you'd look funny as an accountant.'' For some reason, the image was amusing, for Asher did not really give an impression of an economist so far. Far from it, actually.
He would snort faintly. ''I'm already obvious enough if I choose to battle, so I would rather not attract more atention by being careless about it. Striking from the shadows is easier than a head on attack sometimes. They can't come at me if I',m hard to find.'' Well, if he stayed in his human form, it wouldn't be a big deal. That wasn't always a given though, as he wasn't human afterall. It was still easier for him to fight in other ways when he could. ''The quiet before the storm, eh?'' That's what too quiet felt like at times.

Yeah. Too bad it's a bit of a image people wont get to see heh. Maybe in one of those weird alternate universes everyone likes to talk about. We're the opposite and all we do is sit around crunching numbers. I can't possibly imagine that though.Man the thought of it was just plain weird considering who Asher was. He'd leave that sort of job to the more "economic" type of people or the humans really. Aren't we all really obvious if we choose to fight?Me.I prefer to overwhelm them quickly to be honest. If their outta the way fast. That means you can haul your ass faster than anyone else could notice. They can come at me if they'd like. The bigger question is actually reaching me quick enough.Was Asher the gingerbread man?Then again he wasn't exactly singing catch me if you can to little boys and girls trying to eat him.So that was a terrible analogy.
The calm before the storm. Something along those lines yeah. One of those Loonies is just getting ready to start a ruckus I bet.When it came to people such as the church for example who earned his own ire. He wasn't exactly a big fan of em. Especially with how willing they were to harm anything non human. or really, anyone else as..."Neurotic" as they were.

Alternate universes? That was not what Raphael expected to hear. This guy was certainly not the kind he was used to. Then again, up until recently he didn't really take the time to relate to others outside of his kind aside from necessities if they arose. But here in this city, it was basically impossible to avoid strangers, so he obviously gave up the idea of trying to do so. Better scope out the premises, if nothing else. ''You have a rather vivid imagination. I don't see myself doing that even in an alternate reality, as you call it. Then I wouldn't be able to be what I am.'' Not that he couldn't give it a try, but as a werewolf, he was not one to deal with human matters such s that. It was extremely unlikely for him to get involved with that, as long as he was what he was. He has never been human afterall.
''Some are more obvious than others.'' He was larger if he chose to fight in his wolf-like form, so in his case it did have its own meaning. It was easy for him to grab attention by turning into a big beast, compared to those that fought in a human like appearance, regardless of what species they were. ''Everyone is different. I don't rely on taking someone down quick because it's not what I'm good at. And getting killed is definitely not my priority.'', he would shrug. Every strategy had its own pros and cons, and it came down to what suited each person better. He could be fast, but he couldn't really hit hard enough to make a big enough difference, so why would he? For the moment of surprise? ''Loonies, hm? You don't like them, do you?'' Sort of a rhetorical question, although he didn't know for sure who was Asher refering to right now.

I guess you could say I do. I just have a habit of thinking of things like this alot. The dragonkin really did have a habit of thinking really in deoth when it came to things like this. Even if they were truly irrelevant supposedly.What you are?And that is...?Well. he might as well ask that. Guy might be willing to say it. From the looks of it he was already displaying Non-Human Behavior as it was. So not like it would hurt to try right>?You'd be amazed at how many people like to make a big damn mess of things. Coming in with some large fancy ass entrance. Showing themselves off nearly to get everyones attention the minute they pop up anywhere. Actions like that in my opinion contribute to their downfall rather quickly. I don't exactly plan on dieing either. Then again who does?Not like people went and purposley got themselves killed unless it was clearly off of their own stupidity and lack of thought. This was a world you had to be careful in after all.Any wrong moves and you could find yourself int he wrong place rather quickly.
WheN i say Loonies. I mean people who are extremists and start making problems for others. I ain't exactly their biggest fan.

''It's certainly showing. You better make sure you're not boring others when you do that.'' Aloud, that is. Some people would probably not be extremely entertained by random indepth thoughts on a subject that started moreso as a joke kind of thing. Why were they even talking about numbers and accountants anyway? Raphael was starting to forget the main point already, and the mention of alternate worlds did not help him keep the picture complete. He would raise an eyebrow when Asher blatantly asked him what he was. Now that was quite the bold move. If he wanted to, he could be a bit offended that a new aquaintance is already prodding for that kind of information. Then again, in a place where non-humans were a fairly common thing, it was probably a form of precaution to know who you are dealing with as soon as possible. Outright asking can turn to be dangerous, however. It can be a sensitive topic for some afterall. Or they simply don't want to be outed. Luckily for Asher, he did not care as much, but he still found it to be an overly courageous move on the guy's part.
''I'm surprised you ask that so bluntly. What if I took that as very rude, or an offense of sorts?'', he would ask, giving the guy a half-hearted smirk. ''Do you like wolves?'', he would inquire eventually, choosing to not answer the question directly for now. Then again, if Asher was smart enough, he would be able to get it. As long as he had enough knowledge of other species. Normally, he didn't tell that to people as part of small talk, but it was obvious that neither of them were normal people for the entirety of their talk up till now, and it's not like the guy made a move to harm him yet. If Asher cared about those things in that way, he wouldn't keep chatting with him like this.
That was true. But he needn't really care about how others did it, right? What mattered was his own style, and whether he did it well or not. ''The bigger they are, the harder they fall. I find the idea of making a mess stupid, but to each their own. Sometimes it can't be avoided, I suppose, but I still prefer getting things done without drawing too much attention to what you're doing.'' It was easier that way. In his opinion, at least. ''They're annoying. But I don't particularly care unless it affects me, or something close around me. They can do their loony things out of my face.'' It wsan't worth his time getting agitated too early anyway.

Eh yeah there is a thing such as overcomplicating stuff. Don't need anymore of that.You really didn't want to go over the top when it came to thinking things through. Otherwise you might actually just bore everyone around you or even bore yourself. Well I asked you bluntly because I had a feeling you wouldn't take it the wrong way. I mean It's not like you are right now right?Well hey this didn't exactly seem like a guy who'd get offended pretty easily either. Though people were rather careful when it came to the racial game. As you didn't know if whoever you were around probably secretly hated your kind or something. Especially when it came to extremist groups as well. One had to be vigilant these days.
The bigger they are. Heh. The louder of a damn noise they make when they fall. I guess I can see your thinking when it comes to that yeah. I couldn't see myself being vigilante like when it comes to those kinds of people. Unnesecarily risking myself for random strangers in terms of what those kinds of groups would try on people.These days people who stuck their noses in the wrong area often got themselves killed. Of course that depended on the person however. As for Wolves. I don't really mind them at all. He didn't have much to say when it came to that. he was pretty neutral about most races after all.

''Suit yourself. I don't really care too much either way.'' Both talking about something too much and a lot of silence could be boring, so it was just a matter of balance in the end. Neither of the two sides were the best way to go. At least complicating something meant you had stuff to talk about, if nothing else. ''Relying on a lucky guess? But you are right this time around. I don't mind as much. If someone is really after it, they'll find out eventually anyway. It's not like that's something that can be hidden forever.'' Well, he had an easier time than most, but that only applied as long as he stayed in his human form at all times, and did nothing out of ordinary. Which was not always the easiest feat to accomplish.
''Dealing with random strangers usually provides no benefit in the first place. They might just screw you over instead, unless you really know what you're doing, but then it's not all that random anymore.'' Some people liked playing the nice hero and whatnot, but it was often just a dangerous game with little to no profit in many cases. Lucky those that can pull it off for long enough and stay alive as well. ''Good. Guess I won't need to bite you then.'' Not that he was planning to. He didn't feel like experimenting with food in this manner. He didn't even know what exactly was he dealing with here.

What can I say?Sometimes you gotta count on your gut feeling for these kinds of things. You really did sometimes. IT was often said your first choice is your best choice. Unless, it's a really damn stupid one though. Given the Odd Choice of random strangers we have around here these days I'd say I wouldn't want to deal with them either unless I had too. Never know who you'll drag on the attention of.Attracting the wrong kind of attention was something you didn't want to achieve in this city. Or anywhere within these kinds of cities.
Hm. Are you a fan of say. Dragons?he might as well Retort his own kind of question that indicated towards what he was. What could possibly go wrong with this right?

''Sucks if it happens to be wrong, however.'' What were the chances of a 'gut feeling' being right or wrong anyway? They're kind o based on what you feel is the correct way, but that could always just be a ruse. Although it was probably still better than having no basis behind a decision to do something that could be considered as stupid by some. ''Perhaps. But we draw attention simply by existing as well. People see you as you walk by, and anyone could choose to approach you if they so wish. So maybe it can't always be avoided anyway.'' You could ignore random people, but random people don't necessarily have to ignore you in return. The exchange didn't really work that way afterall.
He would raise an eyebrow slightly. Dragons? Well, that was certainly an odd one. ''Not really. I never even met one before, so I can hardly say whether they are good or bad. Dragons generally don't live any close to other kinds of beings.'' As far as he knew, at least. What would a big dragon do near a city? That sounded pointless. Which would also suggest anyone related to them was not extra likely to be among humans either, but anything could happen these days.

Yeah It'd b e a real pain in the ass if it happened to be wrong one day.Not like it had been wrong yet though. Asher would not draw too much reliance upon this because hey. You had to always survey what was in front of you.Yeah....That can be a real problem sometimes. When the wrong people just happen to notice you.You can't just pass them off anyway. Because then what if someone starts tailing you and goes after and before you know it they have their friends after you too.Your right. They never would ha. Not like those amongst their Lineage haven't however.It was really up to Raphael If he was to actually get the Hint right now that Asher was a dragonkin.
I'm gonna take off for now.Gonna go see what else this city has to offer. Cya.He'd say not really abruptly as he would offer a goodbye and then begin to walk away. Not like it was too sudden for him. Though Asher had decided to see if something else would preoccupy him for the time being.
[Exit]
