"Hmm," Fendros nodded upwards, "I'm glad to hear it. I don't think I would want to cause anyone to end up like that ogre over there." Fendros sucked in a breath through his teeth, "As for the bound dagger, I seem to remember having just as much trouble with conjuration, but I can understand the utility. I'll consider it." Fendros found himself reluctant to try and pick up magic again, but maybe Meesei would be a more effective teacher. It appeared that a greater proportion of her life revolved around magic than Fendros' mother and father, after all.

It took a moment for Fendros to realise Meesei's wording, but he raised an eyebrow when he did. "You mention armed travelers and such being more difficult. Does that mean you avoid them more, or prey on them?" Fendros looked intently at Meesei as he asked. He sincerely hoped that the pack weren't simply bandits with standards.
