"We were heading there as well, but I badly needed a break." Aran answered, briefly tapping his limp leg. "But with a bad leg such as mine, I need to take more breaks than I would like to and I would really like to reach that village as soon as I can!" he said allowing himself to relax a bit, though still not allowing any thoughts that might give a clue to his more... special side. "Though there is something that piques my interest, my good man!" he said to the wheelchair bound man. "I am truly curious as to how you survived in that wheelchair so far, it's no secret that disabled people do not survive long in the wastes unless they either are the luckiest person alive, or they have protection from other people or from their... powers."

However, as soon as he finished speaking he turned towards Dawn and gently took the water bottle she offered. "My lady, even this water bottle will be enough and it shows that kindness has not died in this world!" he spoke, smiling towards her. "If it makes you feel any better, I am visiting my younger sister and her new husband to make sure she's in the right hands." he spoke, brief images forming as to the grueling fate his older sister suffered so long ago, but he shook those images away and smiled. "Plus, she's already mad that I couldn't get to them when they married in the first place, any time longer without me visiting and she would have my head!" he said, chuckling. "Where are you heading, by the way, we may be able to travel together and converse!" he said, his smile growing ever wider. "I mean, not that I don't mind conversations with my student here, but I know nearly all there is about her, she's been with me for years now!"

"Speaking of, stop calling me, Sir!" Aran said to Eira, slightly displeased. "I raised you myself and both me and my sister pretty much consider you part of our family, so stop being so formal with me!" he spoke, patronizing her as one would patronize a child for bad behavior.

With a sigh, he turned towards the group and asked them all. "So, shall we all become traveling companions here?"
