Madison breaks the pretzel carefully in half and hands it over to Ry. He could honestly find himself looking upon Ry as a close friend in such a strange land since he seems encouraging to the cook. At the very least he was a touch more hospitable towards him now that he was away from the chill of the mountains and so forth. Farren was a touch unsettling when he voices his opinions in such a unpleasant fashion. It reminded him of blonde haired boy king and it tends to set Madison on edge because of it. Hopefully he would have a reality check with what Ry was saying but regardless he kept those thoughts to himself and his face blank as best as he could. Mostly because the three of them were in need of each other like it or not.<br/><br/>Assessing the strengths of his allies and himself, he came to a few conclusions based on what impressions were left of them. Madison is probably the only one capable of producing stable income should things go slow and cooking proper food if they need it. These two however looked more physically capable in other areas and Madison severely lacks such a strength. There was no real way to defend himself in this regard save for wits and a silver tongue. Madison knew that much and would have to best rectify that situation with the Judgement Drive. After all according to Aria this was the only way to realize magical potential. So yes thats where he wanted to go and offered no protest to the contrary as they walked.<strong>"Indeed. I would prefer to put some distance behind us we're probably going to have a hard walk ahead of us."</strong><br/><br/>Heading over to Farren's side for a moment he offered the other half of the pretzel for him. Yeah it was a day old but its probably more fresh and clean than anything else they could get at that tavern. Least they know who was making the food.<strong>"Here, have a bit of breakfast. You're probably going to need the energy."</strong>He said in offering to at least try and brea some sort of common ground with him. Gods know they were short on allies and needed one another at some decent condition. Musing things in his head he thought up a question he really ought to ask.<strong>"Aria, what kind of dangers exist between here and Verrune? Creatures, deadly environments and… so forth. Just wanting a bit of forewarning in case something happens during this trek."</strong>Honestly Madison would have loved for the trip to be uneventful but he could easily guess they would not be that lucky and frankly, he wanted to be prepared for that in some way even if was run and hide.
