Gallus kept a straight face despite a racing heart and addressed the Orc, Orub, with a dignified smile. "Greetings, I am Gallus Corvus, we represent Fendros' family here." Gallus gestured to Fendros, who crossed his arms and was putting on a stereotypical glare. "The customer, if you will," Gallus continued, "My friend here is named Meesei, she is our enchanter. Her...connection with Colours-" Gallus stopped to itch his nose, but was really hiding a wider smile, "-got us in touch with you. Now, we understand you have some ships available to transport some sensitive goods?"

"Oh," Tzirret said. He looked a little guilty that he may have made Ma'tanza's existing anxieties worse. As well, his arguably poorly thought out plan of getting close to her alone had been scuppered in seconds. The overall failure of the situation was hinted in his voice as he looked away, "Yeah, this one is sure that we can all be chained near one another."

After laying out another set of fetters, Tzirret looked to Ma'tanza with some worry. He tried to console her to make amends, "Um...at least it won't be for long, right?" He glanced away, not practiced in this sort of talk. "Ma'tanza looks very nervous. Is she going to be okay? What makes her afraid of chains?"

Tzirret felt strange being in this position. He was normally the one who was supposed to be worried. It was true that he was worried, to an extent, but he trusted Gallus and Meesei enough to know they wouldn't be in any danger. Ma'tanza not only lacked that benefit, but the details of this plan sounded like they affected her fears personally.
