[color=C6DEFF]"Power is merely a consequence from obtaining knowledge, Joshua."[/color] Bast said with a smirk after hearing his words.

Power was never Bast's first priority, yet, he was indeed powerful. Maybe even more than others who were specifically searching for power. Certainly he wasn't as strong as a warrior or as fast as a centaur by himself. But his knowledge, his experience and his magic made him an incredibly troublesome opponent to deal with.
But on one thing, Bast had to agree with Joshua.

[color=C6DEFF]"Image... Yes. I must agree. Image is indeed very important."[/color] Bast said, with a smirk. He was a prime example of that statement. Always incredibly elegant, even on the most unlikely of places. Bast's presence was certainly an impactful one... But not because of his power, which he was sure to maintain hidden as much as possible, but merely for his personality and his clothes.

[color=C6DEFF]"Image can be, in many occasions, more impactful than power. Fear, admiration, cautiousness... It can inspire many feelings on others"[/color] Bast continued with a smile of satisfaction on his face. At least Joshua knew the proper value of having a good image.

[color=C6DEFF]"Not entirely hopeless. I can respect a man who know the value of a proper image..."[/color] Bast said, looking to Joshua.

When Joshua started talking about his sister, Bast couldn't help but listen carefully. His sister was certainly... Interesting....

"Do you want to meet her?" Joshua asked.

"I do believe she's presiding over a trial right now. Or would you like to stay here and continue insulting me? I have to admit though, you're pretty good at it." He finished, waiting for Bast's answer.

[color=C6DEFF]"You surely flatter me."[/color] Bast said with a mocking bow as Joshua said how good Bast was at insulting others.
[color=C6DEFF]"Words can be as sharp as any sword..."[/color] he completed.
[color=C6DEFF]"But... yes. I won't lie. I'm very interested in your sister. She seems to be a very entertaining woman to deal with."[/color] He said, with a mischievous smirk.

[color=C6DEFF]"After all... I do enjoy flirting with danger."[/color] Bast said with a chuckle.

As soon as they got near the town of Ambran, they met the nun they were supposed to find. Instead of being inside the city, she was outside, just at the entrance, asking for charity.
Surely that wasn't a good idea... Ambran was already a dangerous town and the nun wasn't even inside it. In Freyr's opinion, that was basically waiting for something bad to happen.

As she asked for charity, Freyr couldn't help but think on the money the strange man gave to them. He didn't have any particular use to money, but they should take some back to the guild, right? And he didn't know if Magnus wanted some, so instead of giving everything, he simply grabbed a handful of coins, still leaving plenty of coins inside the sack and simply handed it to the nun.

[color=8dc73f]"I... Think she needs this more than I do. Don't worry, there is still some for us to bring back to the guild." [/color] Freyr whispered to Magnus.

[color=8dc73f]"We are from the guild. We heard that you were here asking for charity..."[/color] Freyr said, looking to the old nun.
[color=8dc73f]"These lands are dangerous and its inhabitants are certainly not kind..."[/color] he said. It was obvious that Freyr was struggling to try to convince the nun. Magnus probably knew very well he wasn't good with words.

Looking to Magnus almost if he was asking for help on that situation.
