[color=ff9900]"Strength [i]by far[/i] is not the only thing that's needed for a good auxiliary..."[/color] Batharyn responded, both grinning and smiling at her at the same time. [color=ff9900]"Unfortunately it seems that everything else is not exactly my forte, otherwise I guess I wouldn't loose employers almost as fast as I can find the next one."[/color] Well... he knew that this was quite a bit exaggerated, especially if one considered that more often than not it was himself who canceled his current job for a purpose he had absolutely no intention to tell her about. Then Salina started to talk about 'fates'. His grin faded away almost completely when he noticed the intense, penetrating power that seemed to rest in her eyes. Fascinating on one hand, somewhat discomforting on the other if one knew only so little about the other person. Batharyn couldn't help but sound quite sheepishly when he responded [color=ff9900]"Geez you almost sound like some kind of soothsayer."[/color] He tried to put up a bit of an apologizing facial expression. [color=ff9900]"I'm not entirely sure if I really want to know all the relevant pieces of my future. Only if it's for free maybe..."[/color] Batharyn chuckled a bit, looking down at her. [color=ff9900]"Maybe you can tell me if the similarity between us too will eventually lead to us traveling together ? I could imagine that to happen. Don't think my stay here will continue to exist for long."[/color]
