[i]I don't like being touched.[/i]

Marius gave her a confused stare for just a moment, he withdrew his hand and instead just crossed his arms.  He calculated, calculated, recalculated.  His eyes widened with a knowing glance before he smile.  [color=gold]"Ahh.  You're the one with a tragic backstory.  Of course.  There has to be one minimum with each party."[/color]  The knowledge and complete and utter compacting of her underlying problems seemed to come to him as good news.  He then shot her a very intense look, the same one he had given Brandon during the end of their discussion.  Lording over her he clenched his teeth into his smile and gave her a very cryptic.

And just like that he let the moment pass, slipping from one emotional extreme to the next.  His demeanor softened as he proudly proclaimed with a big tooth grin to her.  [color=gold]"Right, Anyuki you're with me until the journey is over.  I have to admit.  Saving the world is going to be more fun with a colorful batch of heroes by my side."[/color]

As he began to address the others whom agreed to follow his lead and example.  

The elf got into the spirit.  She'd probably be considered pretty if she didn't open her mouth and giggle like an idiot.  Regardless he addressed her with a nod, wondering if she'd need assist to lift the orc with the concussion.  He was still a mystery.  Marius' only knowledge being is that he was afraid of imaginary mummies.  But she had a place in his grand design too but it was hard to tell which slot she'd be considered best with.  He supposed that would be revealed soon enough.  If anything he immediately softened up to the idea that she was going to drag the ork and join them in the companionship exercise that is the noble tradition of breakfast.  He sighed that the biggest guy in the room was really out of commission.  [color=gold]"He'll need some work."[/color]  He said, turning his nose up.

Then the other in the room came.  Marius sized her up.  Pretty, he guessed.  Pretty enough for the hero image so that was something.  She did have a way of standing out, as her silvery hair, eyes, and odd pattern sheen to her clothing.  Pretty good enchantment?  Alteration?  The utility magic he was unfamiliar and dismissive of.

Then she spoke and Marius entire demeanor seemed to change.  For a stark moment, he seemed entranced.  He leaned forward, arms at his side and mouth hanging open slightly as she talked, as if all that mattered in the world was her and the display she was presenting and it was blowing him away.  It was almost a little too spirited how he looked at her, but his eyes never wavered from her face.  She finally agreed to his suggestion and her words stopped.  He raised his fist before him, clenching it as if ready for battle, his eyes narrowing and brow furrowing towards her.  He was almost giggling to himself by the excitement of it all.

Again just as quickly again, he let his hands drop and return to his normal smug self.  It was very unclear that he was even grasping the content of what she was saying and the purpose of it, seeming to be enraptured only by the wisdom she possessed and not the wisdom itself.  [color=gold]"Wow, this is going way faster than I thought..."[/color]  He said turning away from them with his hand over his mouth, hiding the words from view but not hearing.  He turned back to her with a grin.  [color=gold]"Welcome aboard to our little adventure - ummm...  What's your name again?"[/color]  He asked before starting to make his way towards the entrance.
