This woman was foolish if she thought she knew his cousin better. The depict he was displaying was too much. It caused his heart to twist in utter delight. To think he was lying to these humans to stay in their midst. This was why Zora were not a good fit for the land dwellers. While they too have come to live upon the land there was just too large a gap between their kind. Humans were barely transformative in the ways they crafted their wears and sold their goods. They were leagues behind the skill that Zora had spent countless generations cultivating under the watchful eyes of the elder councils.
The elders...
Yes, Panos had become tired of following their every whim and command. Those spineless fish bow their heads to the outsiders, letting countries negotiate and speak with them on how they should change their ways. Once Panos believed them strong enough to resist the wiles of the land dwellers but more and more they are considering allying themselves with the very pestilence that keeps them bound to the shores. This was the reason. They didn't respect them. They forgot to fear them.
Panos' smile widened as his thoughts became black, scathing and boiled in his hatred. He hated it, more than anything. He hated that he did not have control, power, and authority over them and they thought they could have that pull over him. Weak, bony arms that were weighed down by the sea. Worthless! His arms dropped to his sides as his hands clenched into fists. His lips pulled back as his right hand came to rest on his hip.
"Surely you jest?" His thin brows knitted into a line as he lowered his head with golden eyes glaring up at Maude. A click was heard as he grabbed the scabbard of his sword on his hip. "You think you have the right to interfere with my family? He doesn't belong to you human!" Panos held his head high, stamping his slipper covered foot against the dusty ground. "It's enough you make me come all this way to buy your produce, but now you refuse to give to me what is mine by blood? You don't know where you stand, human. You should be on your knees trying to sell me your goods, but it seems your pride has been misplaced!" He spoke as if he was royalty, but he was a rotten king.
He was no King, he was a wolf that pretended to wear a sheep's cloak so he could get close to people.
"Since you would allow me to trade for your precious vegetable then I will be leaving, with my cousin." He turned his gaze to Nex. "Let's go cousin! They miss you back home and it is only a matter of time before the elders make a decision..." His smile would soften. "You don't want it to come to light do you? They won't let it slide if you refuse." As Pan spoke, Nex looked up, brows furrowing in confusion. "They know... they know what you did to her. I tried to hide it. But if you come with me we can silence them. You know I cannot do it alone." He held out his free hand to Nex as if enticing him into the darkness that seemed to follow Panos...
Nex stood with his focus glued to the ground. He was foolish to think he could be happy for a bit. It had been a long time since he was able to enjoy the silent solace of nature without having to fear who would be after him next. He fought the tears that tried to escape, his head low so that if any succeeded Maude would be unable to beholden to them and think of him as pathetic. Crying over such things seemed foolish. It was all in the past, it was a selfish desire to think that he could have a happy ending. He blinked his vision clear before looking toward Pan. He took a very dangerous position in which Maude may be in danger. He knew how aggressive Panos could be and he wouldn't think twice about hurting a Human or Hylian.
Nex quickly stepped forward and, if Maude allowed it, would move to stand in front of her. "Pan ---!" Nex's voice cracked as he tried to raise it.
He was always a soft spoken individual so the idea that Nex was even capable of raising his voice to another was some fever dream. He reached up and placed his gloved hand to his voice, the sun hat perched precariously on his head as he had shifted with haste, almost falling on his face. He was clumsy, to be sure, but he had lived long enough on land to out maneuver Panos. Of this he was confident. The moment he was able to put himself between Maude and Pan the purple-haired Zora would hold his movements. He spoke with an eloquence that only set Nex's blood on fire and decided he'd finish the job he started years ago and carve the undesirable parts of his body from his person. Unlike Panos who flaunted his scabbard which was encrusted with gems and jewels, rested perversely on his hip in the open: Nex hid his blade. He always made sure his blade was unseen before and after the act. Oft times he would face bandits who would think him only using his sharp fangs to disembowel his opponents, but he was sharply aware that he would not be trusted if ever seen to openly carry a weapon.
Panos would laugh as he held out his hand. Divisive man. How was Nex even related to him? The younger Zora looked back to Maude from over his shoulder, had she remained in such a place. "I...I'm sorry Maude. I caused you trouble...." He was a despicable guest. It was no wonder others did not wish him around for long. He would reach up to clutch his robes. "I guess...you'll want your hat back..." He reached up to remove the sunhat and return it to Maude. "I...I should have acted responsibly sooner."
"That's right!" Panos spat! "If you hadn't run off like a coward I wouldn't have to find you! Many people are looking for you too! What would your late mother think of you skirting your responsibilities!?" The man's words seemed to strike Nex with a measure of force as the jellyfish staggered back.
Shameless! He was shameless and deserved this scolding, but Panos was too much. He shook his head. "You shouldn't have troubled Maude.... It was my fault though. I took too much of your time..." He looked to Maude, back turned to Panos. "I'm sorry." His voice was quiet, almost inaudible.
Though his voice begged her for forgiveness his eyes and body pleaded for help. He reached out to take Maude's hand, his own shaking. Nex was not one to ever indulge in close contact and would avoid it when he could! His gloves were still a little muddy from his romp in the gardens and his boots pressed together with a nervousness that was visible in his trembling cheeks as he tried to force a smile. The poor fish was shaking all over. Panos was definitely a threat to him.
And he was becoming impatient to boot! The purple haired Zora leaned forward. "Hey, don't dawdle.... I doubt the human wants a murderer at her estate." Small as this land was. What does she even grow here aside from Pumpkins? Ah yes that's right ! "Besides you saw how she refused to trade the Pumpkin with me! It's obvious she is hesitant around our kind!"

Give me the simple life
[attr=class,bulk] Maude did not, in fact, allow it. As Nex attempted to take a step forward, she put a hand on his chest and not only prevented him from moving, but pushed him back behind her. She didn’t use a lot of force, but it was more than Nex could really resist. ”Go wake up Farrah and Jon.” She told him, unsure if the jerk would even listen. Truthfully, it might be better if Nex stayed with her, assuming he would reward her trust and be on her side. Ideally, she’d like her fiance, the knight, to be around, but the timing might not work out for her that way. [break][break]
She kept her glare cold and hard, watching Panos wearily as she threw his temper tantrum. The visitor seemed to have a heightened sense of what belonged to him, one that Maude wasn’t interested in accommodating. ”I believe you are the one interfering with my family. Nex don’t belong to nobody. He can do whatever he pleases. Right now, he’s staying with me and even my blind ass can see that he’s not keen on going with you.” [break][break]
Perhaps she was forgetting her place socially. Traders were more respectable than craftsmen; she was aware. But Panos was forgetting his place physically, which was to say her property. Social standing was not going to stop her from defending it however she saw fit. She hadn’t missed that threat and she wasn’t going to ignore it either. This might have been about Nex before, but now it was about her. No frilly, laced-up guppy was going to come into her home under invitation and start throwing their weight around like that. ”You don’t have claim to anything here. I told you once to leave and I won’t be telling you a second time. So either you move all the peacock feathers out of the way and learn to listen or we’re going to have a problem. And I don’t have any trouble taking care of problems like you.” She stepped closer to Pan, violating his personal space in a way she knew he’d hate. She moved directly in front of him, restricting his movement should he try to pull that sword on her genuinely. Anything with length wasn’t ideal for a fight this close up, but she’d be sure to knock a few of his sparkling teeth out if he made a move.
