Arthur gave a grandfatherly laugh, apparently the girl was not as interested in the man as he was her.  So the mans interest was of his own doing, not the girls magical influence.  "Of course, where are my manners today," Arthur said when Kalista asked his name,  I am Arthur Haslik Vance."  Arthur cast his memory back, to the stream of latent magic Kalista left behind.  It had exited to tavern towards the tree, but it had entered the tavern from the North.  "As for my destination, I have none.  I am travelling south, searching for any soul in need of aid."  He had actually came from the south, but as long as they took a different road, there would be no problems.<br/><br/>Arthur was surprised however when the man, Mitch admitted to Kalista being his ticket out of here.  Arthur's prayer of friendship must have been particularly potent on him, was his faith a deviant from the old gods?  Curious, Arthur would need to ask him too.  "You're companion speaks truth, a healer would be of great help along the road.  You'd also be able to assist me in aiding the sick and injured, as my task is to seek out those of ill fate, and ease their burdens."  Any healer would love such an opportunity, a exceptional platform from which to perform her abilities.  And if it made Kalista happy her, companion, would likely be happy too.  Arthur accepted the lady's hand, though was curious when she held a little longer than necessary.  Maybe she didn't was unaware of human social constructs?  Arthur then noticed the concentration of Kalista's magic on her hands.  Arthur resisted the urge to pull his hand back, he needed to know about her faith, he had to learn.<br/><br/>He was saved from his shock by another, as Mitch suddenly flashed brightly in his silver light.  Power from above surged through the man, what looked like a look of discomfort disappeared and was replaced by a smile.  Arthur stopped himself from staring in interest as he was released from Kalista's hand.  "I shall be in the stable at two hours past dawn.  If you accept, please be there soon after, if not before.  Peace be upon you."  Placing his hand to the old god's symbol again, he gave another silent prayer, but of a good deal struck.  He then departed back to his room, and started calculating how much of his money this pair would cost him.  He'd need to take some donations soon, there was no way he'd let such an interesting pair slip through his hands.
