Dukhan was more than a bit flabbergasted at the new arrival. The man seemed to have even less regard for decorum than him. He could respect that tremendously. Still, today was not a great day for that. On any other day, he would have invited the two odd men to share drinks and stories, but he now had a protege to think about.

The child was very clearly uncomfortable.

Dukhan sighed. This was going to be difficult to express politely.

[color=a36209]"My humblest apologies, but I'm not certain that this young one would be entirely comfortable around so many people for such a long time. I believe that it is in our best interest to travel in small numbers. In light of that, I wish you two the best in your future endeavors."[/color]

Dukhan got up from his seat briskly and motioned to Rose.

[color=a36209]"Let us depart, child. You have had a long day. You more than likely need rest."[/color]
