[center][color=aqua][h1]Alberich[/h1][/color][/center] Alberich looked in silence at the young witch. He was angry because the witch had almost blown off his head with a lightning bolt, but ultimately, everything had been a huge misunderstanding. Thiara's stammer reminded Alberich of his own daughter, and what was once a tough front quickly melted away to shine the lumberjack's true nature. [color=aqua]"Do not worry, Thiara. I may be at odds with magic, but if one apologizes for their mistakes, I can always forgive. Besides, I had tried killing the two of you as well. I should be apologizing too."[/color] The lumberjack smiled gently at the witch, and bowed before her. Heaving his giant battleaxe over his shoulders, Alberich looked up at the sky. Just as Ysran had stated, the sun was slowly settling. They had spent the entire day bickering and trying to murder each other. The soldiers of the Dark Lord were known to prowl during the night, and it was better to have a hideout to stay in during those times. Luckily for Alberich, the elf sorcerer had seemed to have the same opinion. [color=aqua]"Listen. I know we may have had some... recent unfortunate events, but I believe, since we have a common thought towards the Dark Lord, that we can camp somewhere without trying to off each other with our weapons or magic. Not far from here is a large lake, and we can use that to at least cover one of our flanks if we end up under attack during the night."[/color] The lumberjack explained as his gaze turned to Kathryn, and then to the other newcomer as he went to introduce himself. [color=aqua]"What about you two? Will you join us?"[/color] He asked, keeping a lookout for any suspicious signs in the now toasted forest. The corpses beside Alberich bothered him, but he felt that he could bring up the topic with Caractacus later. As of right now, his eyes were searching for any enemy soldiers, as well the oath breaker that had abandoned him after they had planned to attack the now friendly party.
