Raphael

Raphael
Am I a friend? Potentially. An adversary? Conceivably. But a savior? That's for certain.
Taking some time to yourself away from camp, in the middle of the night, your gazing at the stars has been ruined by a devil with a love for poetry. Raphael has already done his song and dance for you, and you know what he wants, the deal he wishes to make... Is he just here to toy with you more and rub salt into the wound?
Night had fallen over Faerûn and most of the campsite had gone to bed, but one person remained awake. There was plenty to think about. The journey so far, the journey ahead... Of course, one little mouse would be restless enough to wander into away so late at night, just as Raphael had expected.
He watched his prey take in the fresh air and approached from behind. The smell of sulfur and... Cherries, oddly enough, invaded the air. He stood next to them, feeling pleased about his little entrance.
"The moon is beautiful, isn't it?" He recited and casually checked his nails, as if his presence wasn't startling enough. His sly, cunning smile never seemed to leave that punch-able face of his.
