"So, uh, what's you twos' deal? I heard that you have some connection with death?"
His censer is glowing like crazy as he tries to hide it under his cloak.
"We are" lamb starts, but wolf finishes their sentance, "The Apex!" It says with a growl
The kobold flinches.
"And... what does that mean?"
Lamb places a hand on Wolf's side, seeming to calm it just a bit, "We are the end of all things. You will know us at your time." they say in a much softer voice than the wolf's
The smaller creature relaxes a bit, then chuckles.
"That's strange. I should have met you a long time ago, by that rule."
"You escaped our hunt once." The wolf says, snapping its jaws at them, "But now you are marked by something." lamb adds, grabbing the kobold and moving it to the side enough that wolf doesn't bite them
Alex hasn't gotten any tenser, but they aren't smiling anymore.
"'Escaped' isn't the term I would use. And as for the mark, I place my trust in this!" He proudly shows his artifact: A glowing green censer with chthonic bones integrated into it as decoration. Small glowing lights in the eyes focus on the Kindred.
"I've been marked before. A generational curse, placed by an entity beyond this reality. Post mortem, I met a great and powerful occultist in the underworld. He granted me a boon in trade for allowing him to study my affliction. This device keeps me alive. It's my most valuable possession. I respect your work, I truly do, but It's lost its majesty to me."
"Ah, hello there. Long time no see." Lamb says, seeming mostly amused by it. Wolf on the other hand seems to have a different reaction, "Filthy prey stealer" it growls at the censer.
"Yes, i do recall your death. Swift and mostly painless if my meories suit me."
"I wouldn't call being crushed underfoot by a stampede of humanoids a painless death, but it was certainly swift."
Dark sigils swirl in the smoke around the censer. Alex takes a closer look. "Oh! Looky there! My master recognizes you too. He says that he's eager for his third... no, fourth, confrontation with you. He's certain that he'll win this time."

"Mostly painless, not fully. The evens leading up to the death were not without pain either."
"Perhaps he has learned to dodge this time." Lamb says, a soft smile in its voice. Wolf growls at it, "You will be torn to shreds the same way as the last."
The satyr looks at him, the wolf emitting a low growl, "You may call me Lamb."
"Understood. I am Throden." They seem threatened but not scared by the wolf
"We know." Lamb says
"... Are you a diviner?"
"No." it says calmly
"Then may I ask what specifically you are?"
They seems to think for a moment, "We are the embodiment of death."
"But not being dead?"
"You are correct. We are not to end the hunt unless there is no prey. Until then, we do what is neccasary."
"And what of dying?"
"We do not yet know our end."
"Mmm... most curious. Your view on the unliving?"
"They will be hunted again when their added time is up. Only those who have broken nature can truly outrun us. But, they will lose stamina eventually." Lamb says, "They run and scream and flee. They will only circle back on themself."

"Naturally, such things are understandible."

"Cherish your final moments." Lamb says
"Already have."

Sorry, I thought Nothic was you. My mistake. Or more accurately, I was too lazy to check who it was. Sorry about that!
