Aure rolled her eyes at the woman knight and her insistence on speaking ‘properly’.  Maybe she would have if she had still been in the merchant’s employ.  But then again, he had never really had his employees treat him like some lord.  It’s not like she knew how to speak to anyone properly.  And right now she didn't care.  So she just ignored the female knight for now.  Instead focusing on the answers that were given to the questions.  The one she cared about was answered.<br/><br/>It sounded like they should be fine then.  20 of the knights were going with them.  They would get some of their own supplies for the trip.  And someone who knew where they were going, and what they were after.  The dwarf with them had the key by the duke’s own words.    It shouldn't be too hard with those numbers.  Maybe that was idiocy on her part, but it was desperation to her.  She needed something or she would die of starvation on the road home.<br/><br/>When the two late-comers arrived, Aure looked up and studied both men.  One a warrior by his weapons as she looked at him.  Unlike others, she couldn't tell his noble blood.  The other, he looked big enough to dwarf her easily, but not exactly like a warrior.  Hell, it looked like he carried trade tools instead of weapons like the rest of them.  Well, maybe that large sledge hammer would be a good weapon too.  Could crush her easily.<br/><br/>Beyond that study, she ignored everyone.  Just listening and watching for now.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
