Flin frowned as the Shield Hero stormed out. He was the only one who seemed particularly interesting and wise to him. But him leaving like this, told him otherwise. It was foolish to anger the king, and his statement about cutting off the Shield Hero's fundings made it all the more apparent. Flin certainly did not want to get on the king's bad side. He'd keep this moment as a strong reminder, in the back of his mind. He looked into Auriel's eyes as she spoke, easily seeing her brim with happyness. Apparently he'd left a good impression on her. He didn't expect it, but he was glad that he did. It made him feel less nervous.

[color=0072bc]"You can just call me Flin. My full name is Flin Meeru."[/color] He said with a smile. As the king opened the doors and soldiers walked over to hand each of them a bag of gold, he snatched it out of one of the soldier's hands and sighed in relief. Finally, he was free to do as he pleased. At least for the time being. [color=0072bc]"We should look for a place to stay, first."[/color] He spoke to Auriel. He listened to Cole's words, and what he said made sense. But he wasn't about to let this guy guide his hand. Who the hell did he think he was? [color=0072bc]"Right. Duly noted."[/color] He said to Cole, with some spite in his voice. He listened to the locations that Marcino mentioned. [color=0072bc]"Alright. Let's go, Auriel!"[/color] He said, in a kinder tone. He left the building in a hasty pace, but made sure that Auriel was able to keep up. He did not feel comfortable being around so many people.

[color=0072bc]"Do you know of a good place where we could stay?"[/color] He asked Auriel, as he examined his spear more closely in his hand.
