Nolan remained silent for the most of the talk, not seeing any point in talking to the woman. It's not that he disliked her, no he didn't dislike her at all in fact. It's just to him forming any bond will just hurt him again like how it had hurt him in the past. The only time he conversed to the woman were just a few simple words. "I'm fine." His words were simple and his tone was cold and indifferent. 

He observed the woman that grabbed Penny's hand and begged her to come and save her town. By the looks of it, Penny seemed less that excited to go and do this for some reason. "Shall I offer my assistance then?" The young mage offered to the two women in front of him, his hand laid on the hilt his sword to show that he is ready to fight if needed.
