He didn't seem at all perturbed by the cold, in fact surprised that Neil thought it wasn't too warm. [color=FF5353][b]"Eh? I thought it was getting too hot to be honest...the sea breeze made it feel more cool, like back home."[/b][/color] the Minotaur said, scratching the back of his head. Going about his task of collecting firework, Magnus' ears perked up a bit once Neil began talking again. [color=FF5353][b]"Well...Mr. Bart came to my family's labyrinth a month or so ago. I joined because, well...dad said adventuring would build character. That and, Mr. Bart seems like a really good man."[/b][/color] he said, gathering a mountain of twigs and sticks in the form of literal logs in his arms, absentmindedly continuing his task despite his desire to carry a conversation.[color=FF5353] [b]"Um...I really, really don't know what happened with them. They just kept arguing and arguing and arguing...and there was no time to waste in getting the job done, so I thought it'd be okay to go take care of it. When i went back to split the reward with them, they were just...gone. I hope they're alright."[/b][/color] he said, looking up at the dimming sky, hoping the best for his argumentative companions of questionable loyalty. [color=FF5353][b]"Neil, do you have a brother? The priest that hired us looked just like you. But...blond-er."[/b][/color] Magnus asked, having enough fire by himself to start a funeral pyre or a bonfire. He didn't know if it was a touchy issue or not, but he felt it was in some way related to Neil mentioning he'd be broke if not for...something.
