Wal listened intently as the man spoke. It was nice to know they both sought the same goal. [i][color=9e0b0f]I wonder if we'll work together in the future.[/color][/i] As the man spoke of the call from Campus Magnus, Wal grew very interested. This new information was very good, and though it was the wrong way some detours may be needed. As much as Wal would have liked some company, the mans strategy was sound. It also appeared the mans good will was being spent on this child as well. [color=9e0b0f][i]I guess it's good he at least has that much goodwill. And I don't need a babysitter. Why am I being clingy? I guess I haven't actually been clingy yet I just had that desire. [/i][/color] Wal took a deep breath and compossed himself, though slightly out of place in the middle of this conversation. 

[b][color=9e0b0f]"Thank you sir. You have been very helpful."[/color][/b] He squatted lowering himself to be eye level with the whelp. He kept his hat tilted back trying not to frighten the girl again. [color=9e0b0f][b]"I'm sorry for scaring you."[/b][/color] And with that he stood back up and left again. The slow rythmic clang of his ax continued as he set off down the street. He thought to go search again, but was quickly interupted with a desire for food. The smell of a nearby stall enticed him. [i][color=9e0b0f]Now is a fine time to eat.[/color][/i] He moved over to the stall and pulled out a couple of coins and said, [b][color=9e0b0f]"I'll take two pies."[/color][/b] The woman took his money and prepared four for him. "You should feel lucky. Normally I'd just keep it, but some guy just payed extra and I feel good, so enjoy yourself." Wal felt speechless for a moment, but kept enough sense to stay mannered. [b][color=9e0b0f]"Thank you maam."[/color][/b] and with that he set off for the port.
