Something seemed to please the man before him about his answer, perhaps it was because he'd gotten one or perhaps because Nik had been honest and admitted he wasn't out to cause trouble, just pass through with out disturbing anyone or anything if he could help it. However it soon became apparent that what had the man so pleased was that Nik had no idea about the laws of the land he was in, or the trouble he had caused and was in by being hear. It was enough to have Nik shifting nervously, looking to the man to try and figure out what he was thinking but failing. All he read was amusement and not the best kind either.
"I...I didn't mean any harm. I'm trying trying to get to the coast, that's all." He explained, hoping it helped. "I didn't know I needed permission otherwise I wouldn't..."
He wouldn't have what? come this way? of course he wouldn't but no doubt he would have found trouble on another route eventually. Why not just get it over with? Yet something about this man struck fear into him more than any consideration for trouble. He wasn't sure he was liking where this meeting was going.
"Nikoli." He replied quietly, wetting his lips. "Look please, I just want to get out of here. I didn't mean to break any laws or rules and I'm really sorry about that."
