The grisly mess left behind by his hammer was nothing new to the dwarf's eyes, a grim satisfaction that the traitor got exactly as he deserved. His hammer was brought up to rest upon his left shoulder at a diagonal angle with the base of the hilt point out in from of him and to the left while the hammer's head was kept in the air behind him to the right. His left hand was all that was needed to keep the longhammer in this usual relaxed position, keeping it free from the mud and allowing the rain to wash the blood from the head.<br/><br/>He did not move much, simply turned to face the group as they conversed. His eyes switching from companion to companion as each of them spoke, yet they always seemed to pause upon the half-orc woman. This woman made no move to attack them, and was stabbed in the back by one of the bandits, perhaps she was not giving in to the evil taint in her blood. He would still remain vigilant around her however. It is never wise to trust an orc after all, always keep one hand on your weapon and one eye open when they were around.<br/><br/>Speaking of tainted blood, his eyes frequently lingered upon Elise as well. He shared Ada's concern just who had done the ambushing. He did not speak throughout the conversation, simply listened to what was said. He had no objections to keeping the half-orc with them, but he would be the one sleeping nearest to her when it came time for bed. He was just about to bring up the rear of the group as they all headed into the tavern when burying the dead was mentioned. He would step inside the inn briefly, just long enough to lean his longhammer beside the door.<br/><br/>He was returning just as Tha'ael was preparing to dig the grave, nodding to her<strong>"A warrior's death was more than they deserved. I'll take care of this lass, yeh can go inside if yeh wish"</strong>He said, reaching a gauntled hand out for the shovel, and should the elven rogue not object, he would begin digging. His gaze finding Ada "One large grave is best lad" calling out to him.<br/><br/>If Tha'ael stuck around he would engage her in conversation as he continued digging.<strong>"Yeh shot first aye? Yer voice tha' yelled ambush, what did yeh see?"</strong>
