As the Colonel outlines his plan, Kellus listens silently and studies the map Ara had laid out on the table, noting a couple areas to check first.  When he makes his opinion of Arkain known, Kellus's eyes seem to redden, before he closes his eyes and seems to steady himself, placing a hand on the hilt of one of the daggers in his cloak.<br/><br/>As Ara leaves, Kellus looks after him, then glances at Marc.  "Keeping that much rage pent up inside of him like that...that's not healthy.  I wasn't even trying and I could still read him like a book.  I understand that the lizard was responsible for his father's death, but still..."<br/><br/>Kellus trails off, as the mantis on his shoulder chitters something at him.  "Yes, I know.  I'm wondering about that myself.  We'll find out eventually, one way or another."  Looking back at Marc, Kellus looks at his gear then back up at him.  "Don't think we've been properly introduced.  Valiar Kellus, furycrafter and woodsman.  I was brought in to help these guys find and deal with the nagas.  I'm assuming you're here for a similar reason?"
