Edwin was taken aback by the great wolf's sudden outburst. Literally, as it had startled him, causing him to take an involuntary step back and into the wall, where he bumped his head. He took a hand out of one pocket and rubbed the back of his head, while the slither, also shaken by the event, readjusted itself. And with a puzzled expression he stared at the snarling beast, preparing a plan of escape in the event that Ricard took further action. Luckily, before anything too terribly bad could occur, the elven girl, Marriane, had pulled the beast away and ordered it outside.

Then she made her apologies to Edwin who was more confused over the situation than anything. Towards the end of the sentence he raised his hand as if to say “Stop,” and calmly, with a polite tone, he replied “Thank you for the kind words miss, but you really needn't apologize. You're not to blame for the actions of others, and while a tad startling, your companions actions have done nothing to harm or upset me,” he brushed the wet hair away from his face “If anything, I should be apologizing for the embarrassment this has caused you, as he seemed to be reacting to something I said.”
