Gareth looked down at Silvia while he maintained his sitting position, an amiable laugh coming from his chest at her response, [color=00cc22]"That's exactly what I like to hear. This could be quite the beneficial relationship, since for me,"[/color] Gareth looked back towards the current fight still occurring that had nearly reached the apex of its intensity with Kaito's swordplay pulling out all its stops. [color=00cc22]"Well, let's just say, my skill with my blades barely exceeds my fists."[/color] Gareth chuckled with a wry smile as he shifted his balance and rubbed the back of his neck embarrassingly. He looked towards Artura noting that she was discussing something with the dragonkin beside her, and had an urge to greet the two of them like a puppy craving attention; however, he had found a cozy place beside Silvia and simply decided to bask in the morning sun instead.

Eventually, Gareth spoke up again, inquisitively looking back at the fighter beside him, [color=00cc22] "So Silvia, tell me a little about yourself, my understanding is mage training is generally not cheap and obviously, you wouldn't be here if you stayed on the beaten path. What got you to join the Guild?"[/color] He asked in a genuinely interested tone.
