Almir nodded when the decision went against taking on the beast, and he hopped from the caravan then as he made his way in step with the wagon. He was glad they had called to get the move on, and so he walked forward before pulling his cowl back up to shield his face from the sun. He didn't like the light, it burned his eyes; especially the strange one they had now. He'd walk in silence for just a bit, letting his mind collect where it was at before he spoke any further. Truth be told it was times like these he wished he had taken some interest in a mount, something that would carry him along farther then his feet could.<em>Humph, you'd just eat the animal the moment you packed light on food.</em>He mused inwardly.<br/><br/>It was then that Almir's eyes shot up, just as the wispy winds brought down yet another stranger from the sky. His hand instinctively reached down and clutched the rapier handle hidden under his robe, and he quickly sized up the strange woman up as she announced herself. When she spoke of healing arts, he quirked an eyebrow; frowning as he thought about how many healers he had sen lately.<em>Clerics barely exist anymore, what is she?"</em>He wondered briefly, then turned to regard Brand as he heard that predatory voice.<strong>"Indeed, but I sure hope they have some fury to go along with their flash."</strong>He muttered before releasing his grip from the weapon, and chuckling.<br/><br/><strong>"I think I'm becoming more fond of your company already."</strong>Almir said to Brand, enjoying the banter as he took his eyes from the newcomer. He didn't need to be distracted if something were come up from the distance. It was unlikely to happen this close to town, but he'd been party to stranger things in what time he could remember. One could never be too careful in this day and age. Memories from another time tried to roll up on him then, but he pushed them back with a wince as he spoke to Borom.<strong>"I say let her along for the ride, we could use someone to heal our wounds should we get any. And we're likely to get them..."</strong>
