As Arxcsus spoke, Kalin listened intently, not so much as blinking. His lack of a reaction was calculated, intentionally hiding the thoughts he was sorting through. When the explanation was complete and the table returned to semi-silence, Kalin blinked as he shook his head slowly at Arxcsus with a small grin. "I see... Yes, very well put, actually. Hah, you are an interesting Terrax, General." He chuckled and slipped the pendant from his neck again absentmindedly making it contort into unusual shapes. "If that is the case, then I must thank you. I never would have come to this establishment alone, and it has a nice comfortable atmosphere..." He gave the elderly Fay at the hearth another cautious glance, just to be sure she was still there, and continued, "Truth be told, I was surprised to find a man outside the city who happens to be so famous in his wartime deeds that even we the Drow have heard of him. By the way..." he leaned slightly forwards as if sharing a secret, "The way we heard the story of your so-called disgrace, you have been praised even further  by many of our warriors as a man with uncompromising determination. Heh."
