And yes, glutton, you are until you stop burning a hole in our coffers."[/color] he shot back with brutal, unfiltered, almost clubbing simplicity. The chip on Finn's shoulder was only growing, that much was clear, but he felt safe in his ability to handle the little runt once the chips were down. Cassia, on the other hand, was an imminent danger to the rest of their nascent expedition, and for the sake of group morale, he would warn them. [color=0076a3]"Good to meet you, Cassia,"[/color] the cleric replied, nodding to her. [color=0076a3]"I am Léon Reverdin, a cleric of the Church of Mayon."[/color] [color=00a651]"She'll eat your team out of house and home if you aren't careful. Ration wisely."[/color] he cut in, looking over the— [color=0076a3]"You need not worry about splitting the reward with me, won't be taking payment on this job beyond reimbursement for expenses,"[/color] he assured her. [color=0076a3]"I feel it would be unethical for one of the cloth such as myself to accept a reward from the Church for doing my ordained duty."[/color] [color=00a651][i]Knew it. Nice.[/i][/color] [color=0076a3]"Here are the details of the job posting,"[/color] he said, offering the paper to the hooded man. [color=0076a3]"I wish I had a clear picture, but it was rather scant on details, other than that they don't seem to know what sort of danger we might run into. Normally it seems a little unconventional to tackle a job with seven people, but with how little information we've been given on what we'll be up against, it seems wise to step into it with a diverse repertoire of skills."[/color] [color=00a651]"Yeah, it's unorthodox."[/color] he continued smoothly, hiding the smirk from his voice as the hood did for his face. [color=00a651]"But I think we could both use eachother. Me making my living as a Sniper means I'm well-suited to taking to rafters and scouting out ahead, as well as picking off whatever of these unknown dangers we face from afar. Far as you like, honestly. In theory, Reinheart works well in the role too, but he's the type of guy to want to get close with a bow. Don't get it."[/color] Honestly, if you're looking to get hit, you have no concept of warfare. Life and Death is Life and Death. [color=00a651]"But he's good for middle ranges, so the enclosed space should still work in his favor. Cass is a stubbornly independent brawler, but can handle herself well once she gets going. Bit of magic in her— the biggest thing is probably her defensive wards going on our frontline... which she's naturally going to gravitate to. Likes to pressure an opponent. We'll have to be careful of her hotheadedness, though, and if you think she needs help, she probably does even if she says she doesn't. Doubly so when it comes to healing. Do it, and point at me if she whines about it."[/color] She was competitive, which he got after a fashion, but that didn't mean rushing ahead and overextending, then refusing help shared that same understanding. He'd seen guys get killed for being the same way. Too many of them, thinking they were invincible after a battle or two. He wasn't gonna see her die. [color=00a651]"As for Sigi, she's... hm. Pretty deft with fire magic, strong enough to swing that sword of hers around basically all day, and she can dress a wound well enough to make sure nobody bleeds out before someone who can heal gets over to them. Pretty protective. Has a bit of a weird klutzy thing going on with her left side, but it's not manifested an issue in a fight yet— the bigger thing to worry about would be her and the artefacts. Don't want her bumping into anything. Other than that, she's likely to be proper respectful."[/color] His gaze slid over to the storm-haired woman, pleasant smile ever-present upon her face. Since Jane on their end seemed cagey, she'd probably be best suited to pair with her... That, or serve as a rear guard for Leon. Keeping her close to a cleric would be wise. [color=00a651]"Likes to 'big sister' people, though. Real calming influence on the right person, so that might be a workaround if the warmth of being so far south gets to her. She becomes very relaxed. Might be why she holds back more often than not, but it also means she's less likely than the other two to rush on ahead."[/color] He folded his arms, the shadows of his hood directing themselves again towards the very patient cleric that had been audience to his mutterings. Somebody who listened sounded [i]amazing[/i] to work with. [color=00a651]"A quick overview, but it's what we bring to the table. I've got a few ideas, but won't presume to wrest leadership of your group away from you— we'll keep it collaborative. And can talk shop in finer detail on the trot to Amaril."[/color]
