Everyone.... Telepathy only for now. Xorius is outside
I can teleport her to my room. It has further wards against such intrusions. He won't know where she is then.
If shes ok with it....
Soldaer nods, and turns to Valitya. I can teleport us both to my room, if you'd like. You'll be safer there, and Xorius won't be able to track you there, no matter how hard he tries.
What? Who's Xorius?
*Uh... she never mentioned anything about Xorius. He's just outside the room. She literally doesn't know who he is.*
Xorius is the Archdevil outside the door right now who apparently desperately want to see you for something, although I can guarantee it's nothing good.
Everyone.... Telepathy only for now. Xorius is outside
Atemos snarled. Want me to start a fight so he can’t hear you? I’d love to start a fight. Or tear him apart.
Atemos... Stay calm for now..
There is an archdevil at your doorstep Enethia.
We know this, Atemos. Believe me, none of us like have Xorius standing right outside.
Then let me deal with it.
Sorry, who's this Xorius fellow? Sounds evil.

Me simply having a conversation with someone in that room. Since you've gone silent, I assume you're communicating telepathically. But I assure you, I mean no harm. All I want is to talk.

He laughs, returning the hug with enthusiasm. "Hey, Atemos! How've you been?"
“Great I think!” Atemos poked him, grinning. “But I’m supposed to be asking you that question! Where’ve you been?”
He playfully slaps away the finger, chuckling slightly. "Oh, y'know... here, there, everywhere. Killed a dragon. Twice. I was just uncovering some ancient dwarven secrets when someone," he emphasizes, glaring at Taershal, "Interrupted me!" He smirks. "But that's nothing. Where are we? Did you lot relocate?"
“We did, unfortunately.. We’re in a world called Entropy I think. Sarana mentioned it once, but I don’t really know much about it. But dragon slaying sounds so much more fun! What kinda dragons?” *How tall is he?*
*5'10"? 5'11"? Thereabouts.*
"Ah, shame. I liked that old place. As for the dragon, Copper, though you wouldn't be able to tell the second time. After he arose from the dead, all you could see were his bones!" He waves his arms in a semi-spooky manner.
“Woahh… dragon skeleton? Aw dude, I want one of those..” Atemos taps him on the head, giving a goofy grin. “I forgot how short you were.”
"Hey! I am of a very respectable height, thank you very much!" He floats into the air slightly, in order to meet Atemos at eye level. And then he flicks him in the nose.
Atemos yelps. “Ow! Not fair.” He gets out a step stool and stands on it.
Kothar levitates a little higher, and crosses his arms.
Atemos stacks a fridge box on the step stool and stands on it.
Kothar continues to levitate, this time a little higher than Atemos. He looks down upon him with an expression of superiority.
Atemos wears a similar expression of elitism as he puts a firetruck ladder on the fridge boxand extends it upwards, then climbing on said ladder.
Kothar floats down, makes the ladder descend, and then floats back up.
“AH, RUDE.” Atemos climbs down, stacks some mega blocks up on the bucket, then some buckets, then a beanbag chair, and then raises the ladder. Atemos then teleports on the top and sits on the beanbag chair. “How high is the levitate limit..?”
