Whatever it meant to him, the words Jalna uttered seemed to relax the dwarf a bit. If Belaim was truthful about his past, spoken oaths and given words were likely important to him and some of that carried over to his old age.<br/>The raven reacted to the command word and took an attentive position on the barbarian's shoulder, as if leaning forward to better hear what was spoken. Once the message was finished, or she decided not to add more, Belaim told her to repeat the command word. Doing so had the bird repeat the message in her voice, without its beak opening, as if a formless entity was speaking, yet the voice was coming from the bird. Meanwhile, the dwarf procured a pot full of rainwater and doused the campfire, then moved to the curtain and held it open when Jalna urged the silver raven to fly, leaving a clear exit to the bird, then pulling the cloth back in place to cover the entrance.<br/><br/>"Better if the fire's put out for now. Ye dried and will be warm in the blanket. Less chance of us being spotted." he explained, though the motivation behind his actions wasn't hard to guess. There might be scouts looking for Jalna, and any small light that escaped would draw attention to their camp. "Best lay down and sleep if ye can. Will need yer strength once we set out, and it would be nice if we could take back some of the ore I dug up." he said, indicating the back of the cave, a wide crack semi-concealed, barely visible in the dark, pitch blackness behind it, leading perhaps into a tunnel below the hills that the dwarf was mining.<br/><br/>"Will need to move swiftly and carefully, while carrying equipment. Rest and gather yer strength. Ol' Belaim will keep watch to make sure no one else visits."<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">Through the insight skill, Jalna might still be suspicious of the dwarf, who unconsciously still blinks at whatever of her female form showed, due to living in isolation for long no doubt. Her youthful warrior body was likely tempting him carnally, even though he promised he had no intention of enslaving her. She's convinced that he's not lying and is honest in what he said.</div></div>
