Mitch shrugged his shoulders after a moment as he nodded his head in agreement to Arthur’s suggestion.  The decision was now with Kalista after all.  However when she mentioned he wasn’t her companion he shook his head a moment and he said to Kalista, “Companion doesn’t mean lover, Kalista.  Companion means someone that travels with you and shares in experiences, I am most certainly your companion.”<br/><br/>“As to being a lost kitten, no you’re not Kalista, you’re a healer that’s my ticket out of here.”  There was a grin as Mitch continued, “Especially if I’m going to be guarding a caravan, you never know what horrors I might encounter and I’ll need a fine healer to make sure I’m patched up and not filling a ditch with my life blood.”<br/><br/>Mitch shushed up when Kalista moved over to hold onto Arthur’s arm and he closed his eyes a moment as he let himself feel the energy around him, he didn’t think the man in front of them was particularly malicious, but then again the greatest evils always appeared like your friend.  Wincing he remembered the time he had joined the bandit group and the ‘head’ had taken a liking to one of the village girls.<br/><br/>Mitch looked over to Kalista and he watched the odd woman again and he knew if he didn’t protect her like the lost kitten she was that she’d end up meeting someone that wasn’t as nice as him and she would be used for purposes that were.. basic and he didn’t want that to happen to her, also with her being so naïve to the nature of others.<br/><br/>Arthur closed his hands together and he suddenly wondered why he trusted Arthur so implicitly and as Kali had just pointed out, he didn’t even know the mans name and he was willing to be a travel companion, maybe he was the lost kitten in this.  Shaking his head…<br/><br/>…<br/>To Arthur’s vision there was a flash of the silver of Mitch’s being as some form of ‘angelic’ power was flowing through him and he opened his eyes and he waited.  The fear that was brushing through Mitch was gone again and his lips curved into a smile as he waited.  This was a conversation for Kalista and Arthur after all.
