Bram had been a little surprised at how they addressed his request for weaponry, but he could not fault the results. He had his pick of whatever he might need and it actually left him a little speechless at the offer. He took his eyes off the pile of weapons and turned to her, his head slightly cocked.<br/><br/>"I appreciate both offers, actually," he said, throwing a small piece of meat into his mouth and giving it a quick chew before continuing.<br/><br/>"I'll admit I'm a little surprised at the turn around, but I understand that travel at night in harsh climates make sense," he continued. "I guess we'll have to get to know each other a little better when I get back then," he added and threw another small bite into his mouth.<br/><br/>He slowly stood, keeping her in his vision as he did so, but trying to keep a fair bit of the crowd in his field of view. He reached down and picked up a couple of short swords and spear. He wished that a bow had been thrown, but he would have to obtain one elsewhere, he surmised. Too bad, he thought.<br/><br/>"So who is to be my guide, Miss? I'm guessing they know the length of the journey and have the wherewithal to get us there? I'm not stranger to surviving in the wilds, but this is new territory for me and I want to make sure we get there and get back," he said, almost matter-of-factly, while he strapped the swords to his belt and hefted the spear over his shoulder.<br/><br/>He returned to the table that had the food and grabbed another bite. "I suppose I'm ready. Although I think we had a missed opportunity, here," he said quietly, with a small smile.
