Welcome to Gaia! ::

" I am a manmade hunting tool" Uzi responded voice still monotone. Essentics were not naturally occurring beings thus man made and the combat type's purpose had been defined as a hunter. Still the armored proto stood and extended it's claws " You will answer Eli's question." Kaosu was not here to provide them with a hunt and was now after annoying Eli something the lion like essentic had no intention of tolerating.

" How to do you know what it is?" Eli asked not bothering to deny the man's claim but not giving him Uzi's name either, as if that made much of a difference. " and what do you want?" It's not like Eli was anyone special. the auburn haired man stood but didn't yet reach for his gun, besides if a fight broke out he's stand a better chance of hitting Kell or Uzi then Kaosu.

Kell leapt to his feet as well, the dog snarling at the stranger, sensing the tension he was causing.

Uzi merely issued a low loud rumble of displeasure. The hunter was more than willing to kill the man before her if it came to it.

" That in no way tells me what you want" Eli pointed out mildly disturbed that the other man had called kell cute even if it was sarcastic. That he implied he had hunted essentics was mildly distressing as well despite his claims of retirement. Assuming that too wasn't a lie. " If you have no actual threats to make or business with me I suggest you leave."

The man make a small motion with his right hand and Kell sprung forward snapping at kaosu. It was a warning as the dog was still several feet away but Eli was letting this intruder on his camp know he'd pretty much worn out his welcome.

" Were essentics particularly hard to hunt, did different types give varying degrees of difficulty?" Uzi inquired, the catlike proto still wasn't above attacking the man especially at Eli's command but it was curious now.

Eli was starting to wonder if this Kaosu person was mentally disturbed. Not that it made him less annoying or dangerous just mildly pitiable.

"I would not be easy to kill" Uzi protested, ignoring Eli's glare that said this wasn't a line of conversation the essentic should be engaging in. The hunting proto was loyal and obedient but also stubborn and curious, not to mention cocky. Uzi was certain they would not lose focus on the fact that this man was currently an enemy regardless of if uzi was currently engaged in conversation with them.

" I'd rather you two didn't discuss who would or would kill who in a fight" Eli growled. Interesting as first hand information on the Hunt might be he really didn't need Uzi thinking about that sort of thing. Banning would probably kill him if Uzi got it in their mind to see how hard it would be to take out fellow essentics today. The gun incident with Lauss had been proof enough that when it came to the opportunity to hunt Uzi's rational mind shutoff in favour of being able to do what the proto wanted.

The orange armored essentic flicked it's feline like tail but when silent again the eerily yellow glow of it's eyes dimming. Satisfying it's curiosity and proving itself the better hunter was important to Uzi but bond that pulled Uzi to Eli and vice versa also dictated that it could only rebel against commands so much.

Definitely mentally unstable, Eli thought shaking his head a little. " There isn't going to be further discussion." Out here in the middle of the wastelands was not the place to be chatting up crazies while your essentic apparently wondered how easy or hard it would be to kill their own kind. The shaggy, auburn haired man wondered just what he'd done to deserve ending up in this type of situation.

Kell continued to snarl at the other man, flecks of foamy white saliva flying from his pulled back lips, still the dog did not edge closer, not without command.

Uzi struggled to remain silent, there was so much the combat type wanted to know and yet it was not permitted to ask. Perhaps.. perhaps at another time, if Eli was not around. The lionlike proto had gone off on it's own before.
