The older half-orc drummed his fingers against his left bicep as Orchid issued his challenge to him. "It does not a great warrior take ta take down sumbody who's beaten already. I was thar wen boss-ragon took 'im down. Now he's a man ta follow. Not ya, sonny", he retorted disapprovingly, seeming top actually start to influence the opinion of the younger half-orc just as well. The tactic employed by the hero of Greenest didn't exactly seem to work on this man. "If beatin' a beaten man is wha makes ya a hero, ya can forget it."

Though it was at that moment that the other half-orc Orchid had found raised an eyebrow. It was as if he disagreed with something that had been said, but wouldn't quite dare put it into words. However, it was quite a small gesture. Whether Orchid would notice it, let alone be able to capitalise on it, that relied on his skill on reading social cues. And considering his bringing up, that might actually be a challenge.

While Judgement would not notice anything out of the ordinary from its high perch in the sky, Kyra came to realise something. Most of the people of the camp did not seem to mind the group much if at all, but as time progressed the more elaborately dressed ones would begin to take sideways glances at them more and more often. If she shared this with Parum, she could confirm that most of these people were "Dragonclaws", as evidenced by the fact they wore similar clothing to the Stern fellow from earlier who had set acolyte Davis to work with the halfling.

Brannor would also "enjoy" increased safety measures, in the form of one or two additional guards seemingly following him around as reinforcements to the usual assigned to the job. The exact amount shifted depending on the presence of other guards at the time, but luckily enough they weren't exactly trying to keep hidden. Any of his allies could realise this, though as per usual the guards did not seem too interested in looking after something seemingly not problematic.

The older half-orc remains unimpressed, but if Orchid rolls a good enough Insight check he will be able to notice the expression of the younger one [u]and[/u] use that to his advantage. After all, it is a clear sign that the young one might be inclined to come with him after all.

[@Lucius Cypher] - Please provide an Insight check.
