Angel turned to face the other traveler fully now, diverting his attention away from any of the cornucopia of gifts he could snag for Cyare and back towards Rik. The tracker looked at Cyare playfully, and then gave Rik the same breezy smile. His hands shoved in his pockets, thumbs poking out, the mage [i]did[/i] seem relatively unassuming as he let out a bubbly giggle.

[color=ed1c24]"We're no bodybuilders, yeah,"[/color] Angel agreed. [color=ed1c24]"But Cyare's as much a knight as anyone, rune or otherwise, and I guess I'm no slouch either."[/color]

[color=ed1c24][i]He's only been looking at us for a minute...[/i][/color]

Of course, at least he'd pegged Angel for a boy! That was something even Cyare hadn't quite worked out when they'd first met, so clearly the stranger had sharp eyes if nothing else. It really made ya think. Angel hummed slightly, shrugging his shoulders and tossing the snowflakes out of his blonde curls with a shake of his head.

"Think of us more like freelancers." 

Cyare shrugged slightly after her clarification, though a faint smile crossed her lips at Angel's comment. The other mage always had something positive to say, even if she didn't agree with the praise. She didn't challenge it, though, or Rik's comments. Being underestimated could be very helpful, even if it might bruise the ego a little. The traveler seemed helpful enough but that didn't mean that correcting his assumptions would do them any good. Better to limit the number of people that could provide a more accurate appraisal.

The people that underestimated her, and Angel, usually regretted it.

"We're here to lend a hand, however we can. The Rune Knights no doubt have the situation well in hand, but a little assistance can never go amiss. Is there anything you could tell us about the attacks? Anything unusual about the marauders?" The Knight rested a hand on Angel's shoulder. "My friend and I are asking around, seeing what we can find out. Anything you know might be useful."
