[Color=brown]"No shame in tryin tah  protect what ya love."[/Color] Anrak said with a light chuckle as Allard sternly denied his daughter from participating in the scouting party, [Color=brown]"Me own mother was the same with me back when I was just a wee lad."[/Color] he mused for a moment before standing up with a hard snort from his nostrils.


[Color=brown]"Don't cha worry yerself lass, I think I'll go in yer place... I been itchin' fer a good challenge anyway."[/Color] he spoke, facing Hilde as he put his helmet back on with the same soft scraping noise. Turning to the innkeeper, Anrak said his goodbye, [Color=brown]"I suppose that meal will hafta wait.  If it wouldn't be too much trouble-- could ya keep an eye on me bag? It'd be a right pain tah carreh that along."[/Color]

As he sauntered to exit the tavern, he passed the woman who he assumed was this 'madame Valia' the innkeeper had spoken of, and gave her a nod of courtesy.

Anrak heard the Chief's last summons just as he was stepping out the door, and made his slow pace just slightly more brisk. The massive man made it to the sand skiffs just as it seemed they were about to head out.


[Color=brown]"You lot got room fer one more?"[/Color] he hollared over as to make sure they didn't take off without knowing he was willing to volunteer.
