<strong>"Valen."</strong>The elven mage nod, his smirk a brief one as he considered his answer.<br/><br/><strong>"I would say that if a Child of God is missing, there's going to be a hurry to find him, any that believe the rumor are going to think about it, and that will drive people to action. Others may dismiss it as mere rumor and nothing more, but given the share of attention it has, chances are good its brought a fair share of heroes and villainous people after the boy already. Few nights back, I had no idea the Drunken God had any mortal descendants, and I wonder if those descendants would have any 'God Blood' or if they were sired before Cayden made his way to the ranks of the divine."</strong>He shrugged slightly, trying to be non-chalant about it. He wasn't probably fooling anyone though, he was interested.<br/><br/><strong>"It does merit a look into it from what I can tell though. Its not everyday you hear a mystery like this. The problem is I have no real lead where -exactly- this thing happened, though I might be getting close, I've been wandering a bit and the tale seems 'clearer' in this direction."</strong>He smirked a hint.<strong>"And you, Master Tengu?"</strong>He looked at the fellow curiously.<strong>"What's your take on the whole matter?"</strong><br/><br/>Taking a short moment to catch a breath and sigh, Valen tapped his chin in thought, muttering a bit to himself though.<strong>"Albeit it sounds like a rather grand quest, and at least some supplies would be necessary before setting out to find the truth on it, so even if I were to say, be intrigued by it, I would have to find smaller tasks suitable for a mage to use as stepping stones to move towards my goal."</strong>He chuckled at this, albeit it was a serious matter. Raising the mug before him to take a long sip of the contents, he shivered a bit and sighed. Still not used to humans exactly, and seeing a Tengu had been a bit of a surprise but he had nothing against interesting species as long as they were not actively trying to kill him. To be fair, if they were he would do the same to them, most likely.
