"I don't doubt it." Aldis chuckled in agreement to the warning regarding the trees, and found himself cracking a smirk at the blacksmith's joke about the size of the rabbits.

The woodcutter's concerns out in the open, the armored man let his friendly expression shift to a thoughtfully stoic one. A hand found it's way to his bearded chin, staying that way for a few silent moments. Having brought his thoughts together, he brought his hand back down and posed a question.

"Do you think me, or any of the other sentinels, fearless? Only the most foolish among us could honestly claim not to be." Aldis kept his gaze firmly locked with Emil's, his tone earnest and clear. "There are a great many things I fear, Mr. Mohsteady. That fear fuels my vigilant service, and I speak truly when I say were I not the fearful sort I would have settled during the extensive peace we have come to enjoy."

Having said his piece, his expression relaxed into a friendly one once more. He gave a nod of farewell to the blacksmith, turning away to resume his side-tracked trip back to Sentinel HQ. After a few steps he paused, offering a few final words.

"If you should ever tire of fending off trees and over-sized rabbits, The Sentinels will welcome you with open arms."
