Six: You're not gonna go berzerk, you're fine by me.
-Six gets up and clomps his way over, his demeanour... softening-
Six: Noble Six. Pleasure to meet you.

"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."Akhen does indeed notice the prosthetic, then looks at Longram's tiny hand and tilts his head sideways slightly.
(@Six) Akhen: Why does it seem that in order to become a comrade of your ilk I should lose a hand as well?
(@Tarbak) Akhen: Nothing is, for if I'd deem you unfitting I'd be castigating myself as well. Like you are the one blessed with equine traits, so do I possess a body of lion and wings of eagle. Those do not blend in well enough, so I utilize magic to hide my true shape.
Andrew: It's considered a mark of honor for this merry band."

Akhen rolls his eyes back, hearing Longram, then Six's pun, but quickly recuperates and sighs.
(@Longram;Six) Akhen: Hope I'll be spared this unsightly destiny. Regenerating lost paws is much harder than simple arms.
(@Takanuva) Akhen: ~raises his open palm~ Akhen-Jekhet-Merisetekh. You may use Akhen if you wish, though. One of the blessed children of Amon, Ptah and Isis, a sphinx of the Sun God. No need to memorize those, though.

—Takanuva hesitates for a moment at the open palm, but finally accepts it and shakes.—
@Akhen: It's nice to meet you Akhen. Are you planning to try and help us with our mission? I'm planning to see that any civilians and others are kept out of harms way. What do you think?
'If you fall seven times, stand up eight.' The cry of the Undead.(@Six) Akhen: ~sighs even deeper, baring fangs~ Those aren't amusing, get ahold of yours~ ... ~face-paws as his hand involuntarily turns into fuzzy lion's paw~
(@Longram) Akhen: While flesh and metal can mingle to produce metal fitting to replace what was lost, one's greatest treasures are their body and soul. You shouldn't willingly trade that which was gifted to you by gods for something that was created by a man. Thaumaturgy is indeed a great way to restore your body's pristine condition.
Hearing Takanuva, Akhen stands up and spreads his hands, face cold and somewhat haughty.
(@Takanuva) Akhen: A pharaoh is a god, thus we who are born and bred to stay close to him as loyals and equals are not without divinity as well. Our lives are incomparable to mere fellahin whose fate is to dwell on earth while we soar in the sky, and those whom I will respect are the only ones for whom I will risk my life. While I can and will show generosity if an opportunity presents itself, I won't if that will force me to exert myself or sacrifice too much.

Six: You can't resist snatching the opportunity, can you?

Cath: @Black Hole: Course!
(She puts the basket on a nearby table.)
Cath: So, how have things been? I had to pretend to be a plumber.
(She's actually still wearing those overalls, by the way.)

(@Six) Akhen: Indeed. Sometimes the situation is bound to get out of hand.
(@Longram) Akhen: There are benefits of leaving the flesh intact. First and foremost, the more you forfeit your body, the less human you become. I can't respect people going for it voluntarily.
(@Cath) Akhen: Oh. ~his ears rise~ Thanks.
Akhen exerts his hand as his eyes start glowing mildly, and one of the bottles floats up through the air and arrives into his grasp. He cracks open the cap with his teeth and starts chugging the water greedily.

Six: -to Akhen- We did. He was brought down and imprisoned.
I just hope the prisons can handle him.
