Nathan shrugged his shoulders.  As sharp as the newcomer's teeth were, he was probably not going to be the sacrificial victim, virgin or not.  But he lowered his voice to make a comment to Erin.<br/><br/>"I disagree with your belief that treasure found after a long journey would be better than a treasure found here, Erin.  I'd say the opposite would be true.  Wandering off to a remote location with someone who claims to know the way to a treasure?  That's a recipe for getting robbed or worse.  At least if the treasure is in this town, you're not alone with an individual of questionable mental state.  Help is just a yell away if things go wrong."
