"If you need assistance keeping people safe, then you can count on me to aid you." Takal steps forward after silence throughout most of the discussion. He was after all not a talkative man, but rather one who learned to listen rather than speak. "You honour us with your words Soma." He bows slightly. "I have been in contact with many a manner of beast and man.(using the term man to collectively refer to humanoids) We do have no reason to trust you. You are a stranger. A stranger who has declared her hunger on more than one occasion occasion at that proving even less sense of trust from someone such as myself who eats not at all. However you have shown discipline and to show discipline is to show control. We are able bodied adventurers. We might be the solution to the problems of our time, or we may fall trying. So long as the path we take is the path we choose, and the path you choose, is the path you take, then any amount of suspicion on your behalf is forgone from mine." Takal sighed letting the words settle.<br/>"If our enemies are moving to attack then we must act sooner than anticipated. If they armed with creatures as you say then force will not get us anywhere... We should have a plan."
