Even in their company, Sordan generally kept his distance, it wasn't really a matter of trust but more one of habit. His senses were keen, and he was used to travelling alone, even as a commander of men of shadows... Or rather especially because he commanded men of shadows, was why he had this habit. In fact it was probably part and parcel why he was reluctant to approach this group and ended up simply tailing them for some time. Perceptive they were, moreso than even some commanders he's been required to kill, but that might be because those commanders were often placed there by their families. A sad tale that does not concern him.

Those Jerod seemed to have his doubts about Mark, he was sure that was simply jaded cynicism and paranoia. The eyes on Mark were sharp, a tactician's as he recognises, but the body language and the way he spoke, not to mention his aura. He was not a man capable of heinous deeds, even if this was an act, it was an incredibly good act that came off as completely natural. Still, he had no reason to be close to any of them anymore than what services he is willing to provide and information he can share.

Not long after reaching town they were greeted by a knight in green. Based on his armor, he was a rider, though not a very high ranking one, but enough to be armored properly and given a horse... Perhaps a man of a noble house? Regardless, as fine as the ladies he has noticed are, it is of little concern to him. Jerod seemed more intent on just leaving this little exchange entirely,

[color=598527]"Very well, I suppose the sooner we have supplies the better"[/color], he responded as this would allow the ones less travelled such as the poor girl Rionach to recoup her strength, furthermore he wanted a better look at this situation. Cavaliers of royal houses rarely travelled alone, and one so happy-go-lucky was either posted in this town, or had a more level-headed companion. Was it cause for alarm? Definitely not, but they couldn't afford to get anyone's attention.
