He was about to respond, but then got delayed by the receiving  of free stuff, It delayed the inevitable, he was gonna get annoyed one way or another, and he knew it. The girl even though he didn't even receive a name, had quickly picked up that he wasn't a new person and that was kinda terrifying to him. the fact she was prodding a raw nerve didn't exactly help with his response. [color=f26522]"Yes I am a veteran."[/color] Elf hesitated for a second perhaps it was not inconceivable to have a traveling partner, perhaps it would do his and Roc some good for their mental state's perhaps but maybe they were thinking to far ahead, not to mention he had been silent a little longer then he should of been. [color=f26522]"And honestly do you really need to know why I am here? What gives you any right to know why I am here, don't think about the past alright, think about the here and now."[/color] Elf continued his voice obviously falling to hide his annoyance about the subject of the past, even Roc chipped in annoyed [color=fff200]"Fletch Fle Fletchling!"[/color] 

Since both Elf and Roc hated to dwell on that subject Elf quickly spoke up to change the subject at hand back to what he originally attend and tried to skim around the past. [color=f26522]"So you waited a few years before starting your journey to prepare, that differs from my way of doing things, I learnt by doing it hands on as early as I possibly could in fact I had a amazing team, then it happened, look can you please not be so inquisitive into my past please, Its hard to explain but just please don't."[/color] Elf said his speech being a serious tone, but he lightened up a little thinking that would be the end of the whole past thing. [color=f26522]"any-who, my name is Elvenheisen wren, as hurried as this may seem, may I travel with you."[/color] Elf said, now Elf knew this may come with backlash and may fail in its entirety, but he would be less paranoid traveling if he was with someone. Plus it would be a useful healthy distraction. If it turned out well. If not he would probably just find someone else, because as much as he hated to admit, currently he was vulnerable.
