'How could you accuse me of such low standards? I'll have you know, since you've asked, that I am a priest of the gods!'

It wasn't until this point that the Skayleigh transferred any of his attention to the ongoing dialogue at the opposite end of the table. It had not been the volume Settionne had been using, but the slight outrage his half-even ears had been able to pick up. Now he tried to piece together what had been said before that by memory. Most parts were missing, of course, since he had been busy with addressing Calanon. One word however had managed to stick since it had been repeated in one or another fashion: thief.

Yaroslav and Settionne became the target of a prolonged, penetrating glance originating from An-Hasst this evening. The half-giant opted against walking over to them though. He had already bumped into the battle mage in the figurative sense and didn't feel the need to do so a second time. Priest, thief... did this really matter ? Both 'professions' could be advantageous, given the proper situation. And if Yaroslav would be busy with keeping an eye on a thief, he wouldn't be able to keep an eye on a certain Skayleigh...

The half-elf was surprisingly sluggish when it came to mount Calanon's elk. It could have something to do with the fact that he had filled up his stomach up to the point where he had become noticeably thicker around his waist. Nothing out of the ordinary for him. It just made him a bit tired, but now he had Brogach taking care of his weight. The crossbow was resting on his back in a drawn and locked state, ready to fire the first bolt without having to prepare - one of the advantages of using such a weapon. The two blades were in their sheaths strapped onto his huge thighs so it wouldn't be a very time-consuming task to put them into action either. Who knew... He was also wearing the magic necklace, but the only things that it allowed him to see were more or less impressive areas of the southern landscape that was largely unknown to him. Hopefully this would hold true for the remainder of the trip as well...
