Nirael drew a deep breath before smiling to Lunari, and reached up to stroke her hair, looking at her face and listening to her. Having her head touch his chest so felt right and pleasant, but he was paying attention to her words, and thinking it over. Her words made sense and thinking on it he had to admit he might be pushing too much protectiveness onto her especially if she didn't feel it was necessary. Caressing her hair and her head, he gazed at her, nodding his head slightly in turn as he spoke to her in reply.<br/><br/><strong>"I am certain that the man may help us greatly, and refusing to at least hear him out would be folly. I would prefer to try and make certain what he asks from you would not push you too much, but its not my decision."</strong>He kissed her cheek and smiled in a friendly manner, a soft chuckle leaving his lips quickly.<strong>"I know how important this is and I agree, which is why I am considering it, and want to hear him out as well. We should go see him, but if you feel anything he asks of you is asking a high price then I would seek to make it easier by offering more in turn. Still, to travel that far so quickly would let us become more elusive to our foes and prepare better for the confrontation. Your father's notes may aid us greatly, at least I hope so, and let us fulfill this quest."</strong><br/><br/>Stroking her hair and patting her back with his other hand, Nirael whispered to her ear in a warm fashion, a small squeeze of holding her closer to him following with those words.<strong>"I think we should get on the move then, before they come looking for us up here. I'll hear him out alongside you and Mara, and we'll make our decision. I am willing to see about his price and it would aid us if we all agree."</strong>
