Big Red's eyes remained closed while he listened to the girls chat about why they became adventurers. Druid Girl just wanted to see new places and help people, very basic desires. Couldn't she have been a wandering healer then? Humans got sick left right and center at the drop of a hat. Maybe she was less keen on being a hedge wizard and more on helping people who do more good than farm or craft? He kept these thoughts to himself.

Archer Girl had initially tried being a mercenary and the military, but hadn't made the cut for some reason. There really wasn't much call for horseback archery from what he had read and witnessed. Archers in the low-lands were actually very static, not needing to move until their infantry and cavalry lines fell. Watching skirmishes between armies, monsters, and adventurers as he made his way here was very educating on how humans tended to fight.

But now the Archer adventured, and it was mainly for fun. Fun with a party like them, which made his brow twitch slightly. He was fun? Such an odd girl. But now Druid Girl was asking why he had become an adventurer instead of a retainer, body-guard, or mercenary.

[color=red]"I don't have the patience for the rich, I'd be more inclined to rip off his head, take his coffers and jewelry, and leave before subjugating myself to being bossed around by a soft man-child."[/color] He rumbled out before his eyes opened to gaze at the pair. [color=red]"Mercenary work is essentially adventuring but you give all the coin you earn to the head to be split up among the whole group. I don't care to bust my ass while someone else gets lazy and splitting things like that. Nevermind the mercenary pride would get...tiresome."[/color] The reptilian continued before looking up at the sky.

[color=red]"I went Adventurer to learn more and bring the knowledge back to my tribe eventually. Ways to improve our living in the swamps, how to fight better with weapons, and to use that knowledge to either wipe out the other tribes or assimilate them."[/color] He finished, unlike humans the lizard-folk in the swamps he resided were very territorial and there was plenty of fighting to go around.
