"Very interesting, indeed." 

Caelis thought. Faith wasn't wrong about her impression of the people in the group. Many of the people present had some sort of ulterior goal that they obviously felt strongly about. This in itself was not a problem, but it raised a question. Would any of them feel so strongly about their goals that they would be willing to abandon the group in an attempt to achieve their goal? Unfortunately, Caelis had met his fair share of people who would willingly do so at a moment's notice. Thus, he could not bring himself to fully trust any of them... not that he really trusted a lot of people in the first place. Regardless, they all seemed relatively capable, and all Caelis wanted to do was to get to their destination safely. So, for now he would go along.

The group saw two newcomers arrive. Another young man who looked to be around Caelis' age, and a female elf. They both seemed to be familiar with the old Dwarf, so it probably meant that they already proved their mettle. However, it became apparent that the only people who had yet to introduce themselves were Caelis and Faith. So, Caelis took the initiative and said:

"Pleasure to meet everyone. My name is Caelis. I hail from the Kingdom of Attolia. As to my abilities, hand me a weapon and I can handle myself. As of now, I still retain my own sword, and that is it so far. However, I am not a soldier nor a sell-sword as a profession. I suppose the simplest way to describe myself is that I am currently a travelling troubadour, nothing more, nothing less. I must confess that I have no goal in mind other than where the roads lead me, and making sure that Faith, here, is safe." as he patted Faith's shoulder.

Faith then took that as her cue to speak and said:

 "Hello everyone! My name is Faith. I'm from a small town called Avon. I can't fight and Caelis doesn't want me to... but! I can sing. I just travel with Caelis and sing, so I don't know much about things like the Dark Emperor and stuff like that..." 

Caelis then added "Don't worry about her. I've protected her for 7 years now. But, if at any point during the travel we find ourselves in need of some money or a place to stay. We can solve that issue. We've met quite a lot of people in our travels, so we're bound to meet someone that we know in this journey."

Caelis then closed his eyes, and continued to speak "So, Master Dwarf, now that we've introduced ourselves. Where are we headed towards first?"
