Cruise, or as he more grudgingly now was begin to accept Kurze, spent much of the journey to sanctuary either by himself trying to figure out what had happened but the young halfling woman seemed to always be welcome company. After the first night the two of them decided to share a tent once they had had time to talk alone. It had been a little difficult at times to get used to his new body. The man's body was shorter but the shoulders broader and his appearance a bit fairer. He considered cutting his hair but decided that it would be wrong in a way, he wouldn't change that it would remind him of the previous owner... not that he would forget anytime soon.<br/><br/>He seemed to consider and ponder not necessarily the how but the why of what had happened to them. It was difficult to figure out without knowing much about the previous bodies hosts. He warmed somewhat as they traveled and talked to the others more often as time went by but he was a little odd, always trying to examine the situation in a detached manner just pleasant much of the time. He was protective of Chastain it was clear to see.<br/><br/>He tried to take in the lands they passed through and appreciated them for what they were. When they reached the sanctuary he continued to ponder the mysteries of the force that had brought them here the Jade Fire for lack of a better term. As the training went on he discovered that he was able to tap into certain abilities, magical abilities. He moved more quickly and even walking around in full armour was able to keep pace with an unarmoured man. He trained with weapons as best he could but steered clear of the more complicated weapons, the Jade Fire had saved him once and may do so again but he would rather not having to rely on it unless he needed to, saving it for when needed most.<br/><br/>Bye the time they were to meet Cornelius he was more confident in his abilities but was under no impression that his training was complete, it had only begun.
