Jerome nodded in agreement as he too did not wish for his people to enter a needless battle, especially against the ancient kinships.  "I speak for my family, I speak to my family and they listen.   I have been speaker for them for many centuries, and none have challenged me once that was of the tribe.  We are currently up upon that bluff, our scouts smelled no others so it is where we are.  If necessary we shall move, the bear is always ready, even when he is resting."<br/><br/>Jerome looked over the Dragoon named Blaze and quickly sized up any presumed strengths and weaknesses.  It was not due to him seeing Blaze as a threat, merely the habits of an old warrior, one needed to know what an ally or enemy can do.  He noted speed and strength, and even the tones the creature used when speaking.  There was sincerity in his words and so Jerome allowed his warrior spirit to lower and he stepped aside to allow the other to speak in turn.
