The folding of the outsider's arms across his chest and slight tip of his chin to his neck made a subtle message before he so much as spoke or reacted in other meaningful manner. The smoking man, assuming he was still on his watch, more or less ensured the slaves were going nowhere lest he raise the alarm, let alone the attempt to even free them being only questionably viable at that. He would do as requested, but only if it were achievable and by searching it out. Though he waited until the small one finished before looking to the half-blooded orc, who he noted earlier in the day saunter throughout the camp to unknown ends, presumably gathering means to ends.

"I will need my sword." Brannor spoke up, thinking that at the worst of it he might need kill the smoking man or at best fend off a potential threat. He did not stop there however, offering a nod and moving the conversation of rearming himself further, "As well as my other weapons."

Few as they were in number or diversity in kind, having more than just a sword itself was essential, especially a bow. If worst came to worst, Brannor began to drum up a plot to at least give the slaves and opportunity to escape as after all, fire made for a terrible motivator and distraction. It was the last thing he could think of, setting fire to a tent by knocking a lantern over at a distance by the work of his bow. The ensuing chaos as it grew and as a distraction would likely keep them busy. After all, their carelessness abounded here and it had been made clear they were not quite so watchful or wary of anything but him as they should be.

Though a last resort was just that, the only final option. If fate was kind the bearer of the pipe would be off elsewhere, but the hunter made no promises to himself or the world that was so true. The only thing that concerned him was the thrill of the hunt itself, could he control and maintain it if the opportunity arose and he did not so need to take it? The goal was to see if the people could be freed, if at all, not to become filled with killer fervor at the chance of justified revenge.
