"You hold me in your power as it is, but a man should offer his help to a lady sometimes even if its not necessary." He smiled a hint but shrug. "Its polite, and can help start a conversation even if declined. Though for now, I appreciate getting me away from that ambush and keeping the goblins from slaughtering that fine horse."<br/><br/>He let out a breath looking after her, speaking seriously after hearing her question. "Goblins have been stealing things from the nearby people, and they are feeling weirded out, and the sealed mouths on the goblins concern me, and seeing the kinds of things they have taken I wonder what purpose they might possibly serve. So, I volunteered to seek them out and find out what they are planning. Though I did not plan to get surrounded in an ambush and killed, so I am grateful you are getting me away from it, though I do wonder where you are taking me." He smiled, but listened a moment.<br/><br/>After a little time had passed, he felt a need to add one more thing. "Also, its a delight to meet you, Song of Joy."
