Kaze simply listened and then his eyes followed her gesture. Farmers, tradesmen, and a few oddballs were all that was in the tavern. Although one just left, clearly having a purpose. But what that purpose was the behemoth didn't know. Nor particularly care unless it muddied up his own plans. His attention returned to the woman as she got curious on if he wanted company into the forest. Competent company huh?

She offered to give him proof of her competence, which he just shook his head at. [color=gray]"I don't need proof. Mostly because outside of a fight 'proof' is meaningless."[/color] He said, the meaning probably pretty clear. Stories and trophies can be stolen, scrapping with him wouldn't exactly be the best thing to do given his appearance. [color=gray]"If you do want to accompany me, then go for it. Just don't expect me to babysit."[/color] He continued bluntly as she picked up her cup of alcohol. Probably a warmed spiced wine of some sort.
