Xelise quietly plays a little game he makes up on the spot... it's called 'pretend Nara isn't embarrassing him in front of people' and he seems to be doing somewhat decently at it.  Her heart is in the right place... he thinks, at least.<br/><br/>'Probably just some form of chaotic ice breaking ritual of hers.' he muses inwardly, and follows after the fighter that is the bane of his dignity and any hope of maintaining his carefully laid plans of denial of abilities.  He'd suspected that he commanded the powers of a warlock, for a while now, actually ... but he'd just been denying it.  Nara wouldn't let him deny that.  Urgh.<br/><br/>Not that Clover wasn't cute... but he was damned sure he didn't gasp, and if he did, it was because there was actually someone underneath all that snow still alive.<br/><br/>Snapped out of his inner thoughts at the wink, he forces a smile to his lips, and follows after Nara without further complaint... for now at least.  He was used to following her lead, by now.<br/><br/>Upon reaching the short man and the ogre, Xelise looks the two over quietly, before strolling past them (should they allow entry) and looks around quietly, trying to take in as many details at once as he can.<br/><br/>Edit:<br/>After he's looked around, he slowly makes his way towards the adventurer's guild, to inqure about the circumstances that led him here.
