He snorted in amusement, noting that while they were crushing some of his rumors, others were making new ones, and the problem was that some of his rumors had been contradicting, so them crushing one set merely strengthened the others. And one of the new rumors was about the 'secret enforcer dragons' that were following the groups at night, making sure that enough sacrifices of quality were captured.<br/><br/>He grinned as he noted Ash was in an apparently indulgent mood, and bowed grandly. "Ah, but of course I did. I wouldn't be worthy of associating with Balor General Karameil if I wasn't able to out maneuver a few giants and other bandit rejects."<br/><br/>He sat down on one of the closer cushions to Ash, having not brought his weapons this time, though since they both knew he was a sorcerer, that wasn't a dangerous as it could have otherwise been. "I heard that your summoner friend got into trouble, and wanted to come talk to you about our earlier discussion, see if mayhap you were still interested."
