As the full blooded elf took another sip from his drink, He looked up and watched as a young woman walked up to the table that he and his compatriots were sitting at. She directly stated who she was and her intent on joining the group. He quirked a brow though hearing the phrase<em>fine young man</em>in the beginning. He hadn't heard anything like that for over thirty years now, though this young looking human wouldn't have known that. He looked over the woman with an inquisitive eye, listening to what she had to say and using this information to complete his initial judgement. She wore fine cloths and had a signet he'd remembered seeing before, however from what he could recall of those individuals they definitely weren't the adventuring type. She was slim, and openly admitted to not being good with a blade while still learning her own magics. If she was still learning everything, why would she want to partake on this job then? His thoughts were cut off though as she mentioned that the cause was good and all, however that she wanted to know if there was going to be gold to be had and that she was in need of more. He thought for a bit and nodded.<br/><br/>"Well.... Juniper.... This was definitely not the proposal I was expecting to be hearing coming to a place like this. Normally one does not admit their flaws right away, however knowing one's flaws is a good thing to know... this way one does not become in over their head. If you'd like, I think we can have you join our cause. However as for payment, there will be gold at the end of the road. I'm going to hold onto the numbers though, as I'm not sure right this moment if you'll be a boon or burden to the rest of those which I've hired.... This here is Sishenis Lalimak... She'll let me know if your magics and rest of your abilities were worth it or not..." He stated as he gestured with an open hand towards the woman who was just looking over her tome and studying Juniper with hawk-like eyes barely peaking over the pages. She nodded and then went back to reading her tome. The copper skinned elf cleared his throat and then laced his fingers together once more before looking back to the light haired woman in front of her. "If she, and the rest of the group, informs me that you were a burden to the cause... their will be no payment... However if you are not a burden, you'll be compensated appropriately.... If there's anything you wish to know before we head out, please ask now. If not, I suggest you gather your gear as when the rest of the group arrives you shall be heading out. I hope you have a bed roll and don't mind getting a little dirty.... your wardrobe isn't well suited for a hike up the mountain." He commented as he reached for the mug and slowly took another sip of the clear and cool liquid that was held inside it, waiting for the young human to ether ask some questions or go and fetch her equipment.
