In the wake of introductions, he felt he had a good feel for everyone here, they can be trusted, though he has given little reason for them to trust him, they let him help without much discussion... The naivete may be the end of them, though Jerod had a good head on his shoulders, and his own issues too, insisting on being called a sellsword while wearing such garish gear. By comparison Sordan himself was quite plain, even though he was a general, he really did look like some drifter. How much to tell them though...? His status as a general he would prefer to keep hidden, not because he was a general and it was a status to be of note, but because of the type of general he was. He was Tellius' Shadow General, the one the other generals only ever saw at meetings and no more. Suppose he can give them a half truth,

[color=598527]"Well then Jerod, Keerin, I am Sordan... Of Tellius, although you know that much already. Truth be told, I am a soldier of the Tellian army, my role is in reconnaissance, but it appears the army has long split, so I seek passage to Tellius and regroup with my comrades"[/color], his explanation was not wrong, but it omitted some other details, though his reasoning was fair.

[color=598527]"For now though in such unclear times, I think I'll learn much of the situation traveling with a small, diverse group... Not to mention it seems your Lord could benefit from more pragmatic minds. That naivete will kill him one day, not to mention... Maybe not make a habit of telling everyone his and your status while travelling. I would treat this as a time of war if I were you"[/color], he was sure Jerod would more than agree. Going by nothing more than a sellsword was not convincing if he was alone, but if he was in a garish group that all said they were sellswords, given they remove any crests or cover them up, then it'd be believable as a well-to-do band of mercenaries.
