[b][i]Alexander Sky[/i][/b]

Alexander was waiting at the city gates, hoping that the 'Ronin' had accepted his offer - he didn't want to have wasted a bag of coins for nothing. Nevertheless, at the sight of Malakaus, the young man, his rucksack newly filled with supplies, would walk near, and before the Orc can 'remind' him that this was a volunteer-only mission, the boy would quickly say:

"I want to help. I also bought my own provisions." He left it unsaid that he was going to be almost impoverished by bailing out Kurokono and buying stuff for his journey; he didn't want any pity or to sound like he was guilting people. Let them infer it. Looking at Malakaus not just because the Knight-Errant was the expedition leader, but because the magic-users in his train were bright lights to his divinely-enhanced vision, while the Orc soothed said vision and the eyestrain seeing magic brought, Alexander would sigh, before saying:

"It might be insanity to say this, but I've died before; I thought I'd recovered from its effects, but my actions earlier this day proved otherwise." A pause; nothing would happen unless Felix or someone else who wasn't 'gifted' with Return by Death were there. But even if something [i]did[/i] happen, Alexander would cut off his confession mid-way, just before the magic that allowed RBD gripped the hearts of those without it; his ability to see Magic allowed him to time his withdrawal to the last moment.

"Either way, I will go with you." His eyes were haunted now, yet...resolute.
