Although Kythor had his suspicions about the kobolds when they had first met, he saw no harm in hearing them out at the very least before engaging in hostilities. He was quite pleased he had; these kobolds in a way reminded him of his tribe, even though they were seeking the warmth and comfort of a life within a settlement. Although many people dismissed kobolds as little more than nasty creatures, Kythor viewed them the same way he viewed all living creatures: with a careful degree of scrutiny and wariness, while also recognizing that he shares many needs with them. These needs may fuel their actions - barbarians, thieves, and murderers are typically driven to act in such manner when they are deprived of one such need - and it was important to understand the [i]why[/i] of a creature's actions before reacting. Quietly, he hoped the kobolds found the peace they were seeking. They seemed honest enough, if a bit presumptuous in his eyes.

Once the kobolds had provided him with a parting gift, he wished them safe travels as they went their separate ways. With a faint smile hidden behind his scarf, he passed one of the silver coins to each other member of his traveling group and, once they were ready, continued to travel on the road leading to Good Mead. The rest of the journey was spent in mostly silence, though Kythor did ensure that the chwinga was still with them through occasional glances. When their journey was complete, Kythor quietly sighed in relief. This job had been relatively easy for them so far. All that was left to do was to talk their small stowaway into allowing Dannika to study it. Watching Jitter enter the Mead Hall, Kythor went to follow after him, but paused before fully entering.

[i][color=beige]"Quite a bit 'a luck we've been blessed with on this trip,"[/color][/i] Kythor called back from behind his shoulder. [i][color=beige]"Here's to hoping it hasn't left us yet..."[/color][/i] Kythor added, a bit more quietly. With that, he stepped into the Mead Hall to see if Dannika might be found there.
