[color=silver]A loud chuckle came forth from Alberich once Kathryn laid her knife down- his companion complaining that she could have killed him.[/color] [color=aqua][b]"And if you did kill me, you would owe my spirit a beer."[/b][/color] [color=silver]Alberich jested, stabbing a shredded piece of venison with a makeshift fork. Moving the fork to his mouth, Alberich chewed on a piece of succulent meat as he listened to Kathryn's report. Alberich wasn't all too worried over his companion's obvious cover-up to hide the fact that she was startled by the river, but the news of increasing travel was alarming.[/color]

[color=aqua][b]"It is hard to imagine that a bandit party that large would still exist this close to the front lines, much less travel past you without commotion. I bet it is just a bunch of refugees fleeing the front, but only the gods know for certain."[/b][/color] [color=silver] Alberich explained, glancing at the forest trail that the two were sitting nearby when Kathryn began to look down on the situation of the world, but also the two of them.[/color] [color=aqua][b]"I may be older than you, Kathryn, but I still have some fight in me. Don't think I'll go down easily and without a whimper."[/b][/color] [color=silver]A chuckle was roused from Alberich once again, before it was silenced by sudden movement near the brush and tress. Alberich set down the plate he was eating from and reached for his axe, slowly standing up as an odd scrawny man trailed by two walking corpses approached the duo as they conversed and ate.

The man, now having introduced himself as Caractacus, began to swear that he did not serve the mercenaries' dreaded foes, yet Alberich was still all too suspicious.[/color] [color=aqua][b]"Then why do you have two corpses mindlessly following you, Cara-cta-cus?"[/b][/color] [color=silver]Alberich asked, heaving his large battleaxe over his shoulder while slowly speaking to draw out the conversation in order to allow Kathryn the time to ready herself in the case of a conflict. The lumberjack was sure he could probably handle all three of them by himself, but it was always good to have backup, especially when said backup was skilled in the arts of war.[/color]
