Fortune remained rather quiet as people started to come in and fill up the room... even if it was just with awkward silence. If nothing else at least it proved that he was in the right place. Some knights would have lent back against the wall and inspected each person that came in, judging them silently on if they would be worthy companions or if they were just problems that they were going to have to deal with on their journey; Fortune was silent because not only did he not know what to say in this sort of situation, but he didn't know what language to say it in either!

The tongues of his homeland wouldn't be of much use within the boarders of the Empire (at the very least, not in this situation anyway) and while he had been taught how to speak a couple of languages beyond Bretonnia's boarders he wasn't exactly fluent in such lesser tongues. He also hadn't been taught dwarfish, which in hindsight was now kind of a problem. The arrival of what appeared to be a Bretonnian black knight didn't exactly raise his confidence in the situation around him either...

He was polite enough to nod his head and respond "Good Evening." to the dwarf that had greeted him as such. He might have carried a strange contraption but the man had seemed friendly enough (and while he hadn't been taught much about dwarves, he did know that they didn't take slights against them lightly). 

It was the last man to arrive (and the only one to take a seat) that finally broke the silence properly. Deciding to ignore the comment about the 'brains' of the operation, Fortune was happy enough to have something to break up the silence a little as he started speaking in one of the more common tongues used in the Empire. "While I confess that the opportunity to gather some fresh wealth is appealing, the chance of finding something worthy of becoming a full knight is primary hope." Smiling a little, he quickly added "The chance to see more of the world at the same time is just a wonderful boon." 

"I take it that the call of riches lured most of you here as well?" He asked openly, hoping that it would give them all a chance to get to know each other a little bit.
