Orchid had found the Governor, although Nighthill was not in the most agreeable of moods with such a night behind him. He covered his face with his palm as his bodyguards struggled to keep Orchid a respectable distance away from him. They removed the gesture from sight before answering the loudly spoken request of the half-orc by moving both of his hands behind his back and shaking his head. "I am unsure what someone like you could gain from us. Judging by your current attire, you are not one to use heavy metal plates... and even then, we already gave our best to the champion. If it will even last..."

He now turned to properly face the orc and waved at his guards to stop trying to push them back. Once these matters were attended to, he locked eyes with the barbarian and explained his side of the situation: "Now, I know that it is difficult to pay you back for what you have already done for Greenest. But our armaments are limited as they are. You may ask the Castellan to check more thoroughly, but... I cannot make promises of such things now. I have something else in mind though, a little something set aside... just let me rest after the hardships of this night and I will award them to you properly." Nighthill hoped this would be enough to satisfy Orchid for now.

"I would not know, frankly speaking. You are the first of those people I really have had a chance to talk with... few of you stopped in the infirmary for longer than-", the monk by Brannor's bedside had managed to start his reply when the voice of the Druid penetrated the wooden barrier. Odd, when had that door been closed? It had remained open for the most of the night... well, said problem did not exist for much longer as the priestess opened the door to peek in. "I would guess your friends are right beyond that door, champion of Greenest", he remarked, helping himself to a standing position with his walking aid.

"But you also asked why I am here... well, our master has gone missing and I don't think blaming the cult would go that far away. I was simply wondering if you would find it within yourselves to look for him while you are out there... Of course, it is just a request, I... well, we can talk more about it once you have rested. Let me quit bothering you for now, if your friends are here to meet you..." Brother Waladra began to slowly make his way towards his bed, giving the others ample time to stop him for more questions if they so wanted. But then again, he had promised to return to the subject later.
