Amused and intrigued by Ceol's gruffness, he gave Sanora a quiet, reassuring whisper and kept his own opinions on the matter of danger and safety to himself. As a group, they had yet to see much of it yet, but Renolf was already quite confident in his understanding of how the party would operate under pressure. He was curious, most of all, of Aylin and her magic. Though his mother was a deft practitioner of the arcane arts, she had demonstrated little in the course of her stewardship, and Ren was eager to see any and all magic being performed. He gave her a bright smile as well, before looking back to Ceol.<br/><br/>"<strong>Who's going to guard the back then, Ceol?</strong>"<br/><br/>Finally getting to his food, which was happily still warm, Ren chuckled at the two warriors' eagerness to get along. They had hardly spent any time in the city yet, and cities were bound to have prospects both lucrative and exciting. Ceol in particular seemed to really want<em>out</em>of the city, and would likely appreciate anything that took him away from other people; Seka, on the other hand, seemed more amenable to seeking employment... but did not want to dawdle.<br/><br/>It would take some adapting, once the dynamics between the five of them began to settle into place. There were threads already growing between them, but it was a new thing still. Ren looked forward to watching it unfold, and having fun while he was at it.<br/><br/>Finishing his food quickly, but neatly, his attention moved swiftly from the conversation around him to the noteworthy stranger. Searching his memory and finding nothing, he approached first and nodded, offering his hand. "<strong>Between the five of us, there's probably little we can't do.</strong>"<br/><br/>Grinning charmingly at the man, shaking his hand if given or withdrawing his own without a care, he followed quickly, "<strong>What are the particulars, sir...?</strong>" Ren's voice dragged out the sir, prompting the man to share his name with them before he began.
