Notes

A cloaked figure looms over Peppino's short body, the figure looks scared and confused. "U-Um.." The mantle sways in the blowy winds of the cool level of the tower, a trembling frown can be seen upon his face as he holds something underneath his mantle. "W-Where am I...?"

"O-Oh no I'm not going to attack you!" He murmurs, paranoid and anxious just like Peppino, he shifts his cloak away from his torso, revealing a gray and white cat shivering, frightened and scared. "I-I don't know where to go...Mentië is getting scared..."

The cat flinches, digging its head deeper into the mans sweater, trying to hide. "She's...not very good with strangers...I apologize." He chortles nervously, still shivering and trembling. "Where...am I? I-I ran into here because Mentië suddenly sprinted for some sort of giant rat entering the building...n-now I'm here." Peppino can see a pair of green, glowing eyes emerge from under the hooded mantle, they look anxious, and afraid. Just like Peppino in this hellish tower.

Peppino can just barely see a nervous, anxious face. "C-Can I tag along please...? I don't do well in large spaces...e-especially with these strange monsters all around.." His voice is weak and afraid, he bends downwards to meet Peppino's level.


Peppino can see a trembling, gentle smile arise upon the man's shrouded, scarred face. "Thank you...I-I will try my best to protect you." His voice is a bit more smooth now, it's deep and ominous.

A Claw-like hand emerges from the cloak, the nails are painted black with intricate, golden lines painted upon them. Athel shakes Peppino's trembling, shaky hand, his claws barely digging into Peppino's skin. He smiles softly from underneath the hood.

Peppino begins to run off, Athel following behind, his dark green, tattered cloak flowing behind him in the crisp air of the level, He watches nervously as Peppino beats up several enemies, Peppino can notice Athel hastily giving each enemy some sort of candy, perhaps to help them feel better.
