Vlad wasn't sure about how he think of the new order the elf just given. Usually, people would just leave him alone when he joined a group, isolated from the others. Afterall, it is not his fault for them to die due to their ignorance. Adventure and quests are dangerous missions, and they dig their own graves when they do it. Shifting his train of thought, Vlad looks toward the other, the one that is offering a handshake. His armor is covered in many scratches, with blood and mud almost covered everywhere on that armor. Scars can be seen on his joints, hands, and face. But Vlad knew this is the person that deserves respect, for he had survived through many hard fights. Shaking the hand that is in front of him, Vlad said with a deep tone, will still able to show his respect for the opposite. "Vladimir Voynich, the Necromancer." Pausing a moment to think of Akono question, Vlad continues. "I need the best melee and the best scout I could get, and this is the best I could find." Vlad repositions himself so Akono could see what he meant. "For look at the other, they all got a decent group. But now they all just sit there and do nothing." Turning himself facing Akono, Vlad continues. "But here, we got a good guy that is good in preparing. Maybe he is capable of leadership too, but that remains in the future. And the best melee in here. So why don't I want to increase my chance of surviving in my next adventure?"
