It dips the tip of the knife into the dirt, then lifts it up with a tiny bit of earth on it. Then it runs its long, thin finger along the side, through the filth. The dirt is undisturbed. It taps the dirt off into the cup again. "Only for diminishing others, I'm afraid. I've learned what wounds won't kill someone quickly, and what wounds will. I've learned how to prepare food with only the blade of my knife. My greatest desire is to find a group of adventurers who will hire me, as they leave many injured, weakened beings in their wake. Beings that would happily strike a deal with me for power or freedom."
"... Really... I may have an opportunity for you..."
It steeples its fingers over the handle of the knife, letting the tip balance against the table. "An opportunity, you say? How generous of you... I knew the moment you approached that you were a good one. I would love to hear your offer."
"... I have been fortunate enough to have maintained contact with a Teacher. Now, I can't tell that much, but this Teacher plans to regain the world from the humans, to stop the persecution of Mythicals all over the world! Now, there would be plenty of opportunities for you on a conquest such as that..."
Raski has an aura of coldness radiating off of him.
The bat continues to listen, tensing slightly.
"This guy is vile, Niko."
"I've got other problems."
The bat yawns.
Niko pets the bat.
The bat nips his finger.
*her*
*Oops! Sorry, thought that was Rascil. Nevermind, the bat purrs.
Niko pets it again, sighing. "Look. Maybe once I'm done with my problem, I can help you with yours."
The bat purrs again.
"Ugh."
"I'm leaving." Niko says, standing up.
The bat flaps onto Niko's shoulder.
Niko leaves the tavern, humming to herself and sighing.

In her distress, her accent slips out, a combination of something vaguely British, but also very melodic.
