Siegfried stood in front of the blacksmith's, waiting for it to open. After a while, he saw Robert headed his way. "Hello, new companion. What did the old man say?"  He stood slightly relaxed, awaiting a reply from the man. "How many people are we gonna need? And how much are we getting paid?" He took a step toward Robert with a calm smile, arm extended to shake his hand once he was close enough. As Robert filled him in on the details, he listened intently. "Then it seems I need only wait for the blacksmith to open as I do need a new blade. Unless you'd rather I assist in gathering party members. You need only ask."
