He just listened to everything she'd said before he spoke again. He listened as she told him the time, her name, and even the story of how it all had went down. He was awfully grateful that he was here and not six feet underground. She flashed her teeth at him, he couldn't help but take special notice of them. They were certainly well taken care of, maybe even more so than a queen's mouth of teeth was. He admired them greatly, not that he didn't admire the rest of her, but something about the teeth set him off for the moment. Though, the rest of her words brought him out of that thought. He listened, and he began to wonder if she was the leader of this settlement. She spoke well for them, and certainly had the look. Still, some evidence suggested otherwise.<br/><br/>"Elair." He repeated her name. It was certainly the first time he'd met a woman like Elair. He began putting things together in his mind. She went to gather from traps, so he assumed that she was a hunter. Her fur coat almost suggested so, but then again she was also wearing a dress. She seemed like she should maybe be higher up? She certainly looked more formal than he did at the moment. He returned to his previous thought about her leading this people. "I understand. I won't dare put your settlement in danger or act out against nature while I am staying here. That's a promise. I'm in debt and will do whatever I can to repay that." He was certain he could speak to King Balverth on the subject. But for now, he was here, and he didn't intend on being a leech on these people. They were kind folks. With a good community.<br/><br/>"You can call me Brutus." He said, taking in some of the stew he was given. He had to admit, it was delicious. The kind of meal that clearly had hearth in it. "I was sent here under orders by my king, Balverth." He'd never addressed his kind as 'a king' rather he was 'the king' but in this scenario, Brutus thought it wasn't appropriate to imply these people were owned by a kingdom. They were independent. "Rumor had it there was a dragon. Which, normally might be able to be ignored or migrated, however, Balverth wants the teeth for prosperity." Brutus said, sitting up and looking at her now. "I guess that's just going to have to wait though. I doubt I'd be able to fight much at all like this. Any chance you've ever seen the dragon?"<br/><br/>"Again, I can't thank you enough for your kindness, I thank both you and your people Elair." He said, wondering how to ask her about how she managed to rescue him. Of course, he believed her, he just wasn't sure how she did it. "Those men you saw were no pushovers in combat. How did you get the last two?" He asked, looking at her. It was possible she was a lot more dangerous than she looked. So it was certainly a good thing he was on the rescuing end of the equation. "Is there anything I can do to help? Is there any preparation needed for the storm that never got done?" He asked, also eager to help if he possibly could, despite the wounds and soreness.
