The Goliath watched the Manticore in grim silence from where he stood ducked in the doorframe. The creature's genuine sorrow was visible even from this distance to him. Guilt wasn't quite the word for what he felt; the beast had every opportunity to flee and instead chose to fight tooth and nail to the death against him and his comrades. It was a valiant death, especially for such a beast, and even more so as it seemed to be telling the truth- it was searching for shelter, even if it was at someone else's expense. Confusion was probably a more apt term for what he felt; something he had long since grown used to feeling since leaving the temple. Grief was an almost entirely foreign emotion to him; the priests of Talos that raised him were hardly known for their cool or loving countenance, and their deaths were usually disregarded as little more than the culling of weak links in a long chain. Slowly, he stepped out, the metal of his armor shifting loudly. It wasn't behaving aggressively currently, but he wasn't letting his guard down. Glancing at May'falla, Zulgur made sure as he stepped to remain in front of her relative to the monster.
His hammer still covered in gore and flecks of fresh blood still on his face, Zulgur hefted the weapon onto his shoulder. The dead manticore's spines still bristled visibly from his back, like so many arrows having pierced his almost stony hide. "It was a good death. He died on his feet." His tone probably carried as much sympathy as he was physically capable of, as he hulking Goliath did his best to appeal to the creature emotionally in the only way he knew how. Still, his jaw remained tightened and his white, pupilless eyes were laden with distrust. "I do not wish to kill you as well, but you cannot hurt the mill or its inhabitant, as your mate tried to do. It is under our protection. Take your mate's body and go from this place, unless you would help us see the dragon's demise."
