Ethan wanted to express further distaste regarding the annoyed looks that he was given but held his tongue for the sake of keeping things polite in front of the chief. The young man let out a dismissive huff as if to resign to the fate of being hated but also to signify to the militia that their gazes and threats will no longer find purchase. He opted to focus on the message meant for his employer put the parcel within the safety of his durable pack. [color=tan]"Believe me, ser. I am not mad enough to face bandits alone...though you might call me mad for proceeding with my task. I thank you for your concern, ser, but leaving things half done is something that does not sit well with me. I was raised better than that."[/color] He secures his pack and small satchel on his person and draws out a single torch with one hand and holding his walking stick tightly with his other. [color=tan]"May it gain mockery or respect, I am simply not the kind of man to leave tasks and jobs unfinished."[/color] He gives the chief a curt but polite bow before bidding him fare well.

Ethan then begins walking to the last town at a steady but brisk pace. Doing his best to keep to the trail and avoid any unnecessary confrontations.
