The older hunter was right on point with his comments. It would appear simple posturing did not fool the man. “Yes... yes you are right...” Jonathan gritted his teeth as he glanced at the crowd around him. The nerve this hunter had to just denounce him like that... But then again, he was also right. “I don't really know what happened to my old master, guess such is a risk of the job... But I was on my way to castle bloodleaves right now to meet with another one. Seeing as I was ahead on my travel schedulde I decided I could afford to get waylaid and so here I am.”

He took a breath after this explenation. Long-winded breathless monologues were still a skill he had retained from more comfortable times. He folded his lance back up without much show. Showing the thing off had failed anyway. “So... From your insistence to have me out of the way I gather you can't really find use for me. I guess I'll be on my way then.” He spurred linda to walk back into the crowd, carefully, as to not accidentally trample on a hapless townsman.
