Akando seemed receptive to the prospect of having armor fashioned for Novak, and offered to lead him to where the beast was being processed.  Novak obliged, following the hunter through the town to where the hunters were hard at work pulling the carcass apart.  He watched them carve its flesh, careful as to not activate his power, but still mentally taking note of what he saw.  As far as he believed, even the most minor observations could be useful. It was a bit of a gruesome sight, but Novak knew it was something he'd need to quickly get used to.

Akando spoke up, asking the butcher in charge to produce armor from the beast's hide, a request that the second man obliged, the only caveat being it'd take a while.  It certainly wouldn't be ready by tomorrow, when the group would presumably begin their quest to investigate the ongoing trouble with the Kyrinth.  Nevertheless, it was good to hear that the locals were willing to accommodate his request despite his relatively minor role in actually stopping the animal.

Just then, Novak heard someone else speak up, requesting armor.  He turned to witness a newcomer.  Whoever this fellow was, he clearly was not a local.  His demands suggested some familiarity with the locals, because Novak didn't think that a stranger would just walk into town and start demanding things from the locals.  Perhaps it was the opposite, and this new arrival was simply some wealthy, over-entitled foreigner.

When the strange man greeted Novak, these speculations vanished as it quickly became very clear what was actually going on.  This was yet another of the goddess' summoned heroes.  The way he talked, the mantle of heroism may have already gone to his head.  Novak cringed a little at the man's open declaration of being from another world.  It was something not to be admitted to lightly, especially in the presence of the world's natives whom they still knew fairly little about.

"[url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=myPRqz04iPw]I'm just a simple man trying to make my way in the world[/url]," Novak replied, not wanting to reveal too much, but also not wanting to trip himself up by trying to lie.  Novak had little penchant for lying, but his ignorance of the world he originated from, and his lack of ties to it, was very real.  He was a man of this world now, for as long as this goddess-given life would last, and his answer was truthful.
