Exodus flushed slightly when Harbinger kissed his cheek; that seemed to help show the people that they were not someone to be feared or avoided. For some reason, Exodus felt calmer here; maybe it was the knowledge that he was back among his own kind. Even if he was tainted by those bastardly Beastmen. When what appeared to be the de facto leader of the town stepped forward and said that they could stay, Exodus felt an immediate sense of relief.
One of the people then spoke when Harbinger asked what the name of the town was; a little boy came forward and said with a still slightly scared expression on his young face. "This place, my mommy and daddy call it Bator......." Another man then said, "Johnny, don't get too close!" Johnny then turned and said, "But daddy, these two drove the bad people away!" He then looked back up at at Exodus and said, "Y..you'll protect us, won't you mister? The bad people..they've come before, they scare me. They make me have bad dreams." Exodus knelt down and smiled warmly, ruffling the boy's hair mousy brown hair with one of his fairly large hands. "Don't worry, little one. We will keep the bad people away, we'll make the nightmares stop." He then turned to his beloved and said in a determined voice, "Isn't that right, my love?"
