Guthrie decided not to dwell further into whatever it was that the twins were so afraid of, preaching unrest and the gods knew what else soon to be upon this land. He had heard that kind of talk many a time before, and he was still alive, so doomsday prediction never fell into good taste. Then again, the twins seemed nice enough, so he simply let them talk of something else. 

While he was looking for wherever Theo was, he managed to catch the look in the twins' eyes, subconsciously pondering on what they were meaning with their look - well, looks really, they were two after all. Awfully similar and unison, yet two. But he was thankful once their attention were instantaneously caught by Theo, for their questioning look was not something he'd wish to answer. Not that they weren't a fair sight to lay his eyes upon, for they truly were, but it was his past he'd rather not dig up. 

[color=#FF0000]"Great, because I was not planning on staying in this town for much longer either way. I am your in debt, which coincidentally evens out the issue with the map."[/color] Guthrie said with a smile to the twins, his eyes shifting from the one petting Theo up to the one speaking to him. Her hair was chestnut brown, her eyes grey as the cold mist in the deepest caves and something about them that spoke of desperation. It was perhaps because of this, beside their help with Theo, that he decided to lay down a piece of parchment. 

[color=#FF0000]"This is what you're looking for, miss..."[/color] Guthrie let his words hang in the air for a moment, waiting for her - and her sister's - name. [color=#FF0000]"Well, part of it at least. I was planning on venturing beyond this point here and further into the cave systems. With only the map, which I wouldn't mind giving away as payment, you would get too far to simply returning to Shezze and not far enough to make it whatever lies down there. So if you two want the map, you can have it. But I'll be coming along for the journey to map out the rest. Maybe then you can repay the rest of the map, maybe even save my skin? Deal?"[/color]

Guthrie opened his previously closed palm, holding it for Vala to take and shake it. It mattered little to him if he ventured out there alone or with someone, but he had the nagging feeling that they wouldn't survive long out there alone. Not without someone to keep them safe.
