Rathe took the man in and gathered stock for who he was. Sure he was making efforts to show he wasn't a direct threat, but the fact of the matter was he was making too many. Making requests and trying to show so much that he wasn't going to try anything makes a man cautious and alert. Being said though there was a certain level of risk that came with all diplomacy. So standing at his full height at the messenger he gave a brief glance around before he gestured for the man to follow. Adding on top of it, [color=silver]"Come with me."[/color] Starting to walk through the courtyard not towards the castle, but towards the outer wall and battlements of the fort.

Leading him up the internal structures and stairs that lead up multiple floors of solid stone and mortar to bring them to the top of the walls. Braziers stood at the ramparts at key locations, just as ballistae with racks upon them stood an ever faithful watch out into the mountains and valleys. It was an impressive sight, but one that the men on the walls knew to be familiar and comforting given the victories they had brought. Though this wasn't to show the fort's military might and instead he continued to guide and lead the man off towards a secluded spot on the walls. Of course no spot was unguarded, but with a simple command to the patrol to take a few minutes and reinforce the next station down. That in turn gave them a private space to talk.

Walking up to the edge of the battlements he gestured for the messenger to come and join him. Staring out at the beautiful view of the mountains and once again waiting for his guest to state his business. After all, accommodations have been made, there should be no more reason to delay the details of why this man had come the long way up to the Skypass Mountains.
