Vicious had no idea where she was taking him. Allowing someone else to teleport him could always be a little unnerving because not only did he not know where they were going, they had no idea what kind of situation they were 'porting into, and he naturally tensed as he prepared to defend them both.
At first, he didn't react to what he was seeing, too busy checking the area for possible threats as he always did when entering a new location, but then the sights and sounds began to register in his brain. His hair, red as a flame, writhed across his shoulders as his head turned this way and that, his eyes wide with surprise. His arm around Dora's waist slackened and he turned slightly to take in more of the village, astounded.
He'd seen many things on his travels but never had he seen this.
The first thing he noticed was that every single one of the people milling about was insanely gorgeous. His eyes nearly bugged out at the sight of so much beauty and he had to consciously snap his jaw shut. If he'd been here alone, he may well have gone chasing after one or two of them, and it was only the sense of Nymphadora still standing close that he could keep control of himself. Even the children were better looking than most he'd seen and he wondered for a few moments how Elysia could function at all with so many gorgeous people wandering around.
As the initial shock began to fade, he realised that more and more of them were stopping to stare at him, just as intensely as he was staring at them. He tensed reflexively, wondering if this was going to be a problem - they sensed a threat in their midst, a stranger, and none of them seemed to know what to do about it but he got the distinct feeling they'd do something.
"Dora...?" He didn't really think he had to say much more than that. She worked for Xanth so these people should know her. If nothing else, she could play diplomat and keep the lot of them from trying to attack him. Maybe if he smiled, that would help make the task easier...
Unfortunately, his smile looked more like a feral baring of the teeth than a friendly gesture.
