Ignoring the handshake, Plutus latched onto Cody’s wrist and began frantically waving the poor man’s arm around; all the while shouting at his companion. “[color=skyblue]He’s got a mark! Which Guild is this from Bayard! Tell me! Quick![/color]” Plutus’ grip was surprisingly firm for such a young lad, keeping himself stuck to Cody until Bayard walked over and took a look. “[color=LemonChiffon]Phoenix Wing. I’d recognise that mark anywhere.[/color]” Bayard looked up at the boy who had introduce himself as Cody, and then the other unnamed mage and his golden armour. If they were Phoenix Wing mages, then they must be the real deal. That Guild had a reputation of producing powerful mages. Bayard clasped his hand with Cody’s, giving it a firm shake. “[color=lemonchiffon]Bayard.[/color]” He refrained from mentioning his last name. The Lux family was renowned across the country, and he didn’t want the affiliation. Meanwhile, Plutus offered his own handshake to the golden hero. “[color=skyblue]Plutus Ishtar! I’ve come all the way from Isvan to explore this beautiful country of heroes and magic![/color]” [i]And to find Fay[/i], he wanted to say – but perhaps that could wait until the Dark Mages were dealt with. Once the other man introduced himself, the group stood amidst the trees with naught but the sounds of the blue jay’s song to fill the void. Awaiting instruction, Bayard spoke up. “[color=lemonchiffon]So, since we’ve kind of crashed your little party here – just tell the kid and I what needs to be done and we’ll make it happen.[/color]” Bayard grinned, a hint of confidence in his voice. Plutus shared in his partners pride. The pair of them had been quite successful so far in their heroic ventures – even if Bayard tried to pretend the lifestyle didn’t suit him. Plutus eagerly pounded his fists together. "[color=skyblue]You won't be disappointed, friends![/color]" Bayard rolled his eyes at the kids callous use of such a term. Friends. They barely knew each other. The older mage even threatened them if they turned out to be anything less than what they said they were. A fair call, but it still pissed Bayard off. He didn't take kindly to threats. Now wasn't the time to go making waves though. So he sat quietly, awaiting their next move to be decided.
