[color=goldenrod][i]Hm?[/i][/color] Bowyn’s displeasure with Arn was really surfacing now, and Kaleb had wondered if it was his doing. Had he swayed his opinion some? It was not unbelievable especially since Bowyn claimed to have only met Arn today. It was rather convenient that the loose-end to his lies might be easily cut. All Kaleb would have to do is rub shoulders with Bowyn better than Arn had, and so far the bar for that seemed to be quite low. He couldn’t help but smirk at Bowyn’s insult towards Arn. The poor dwarf was just collateral… the price of being an extra. 

[color=goldenrod]“Sure, Arn is not the type of guy you place your faith in, but I got the details from a [i]very[/i] loyal lady friend of mine. If not for her, I’d just be looking for a party tonight.”[/color] Despite his jesting, Kaleb kept on a serious expression to let Bowyn know he was certain Annya could be found in River Port. [color=goldenrod]“We find your friend and Arn first, and then we can put our heads together to find Annya.”[/color] Kaleb shrugged once again before his attention was captured by Rue’s very sudden arrival several meters away. His eyes were rather wide, somewhat taken aback by the remarkable entrance. The wolf walking beside her on her approach only confirmed her identity. How many folk were walking their wolf around town? [color=goldenrod]“Well, that was easy. She found us.”[/color] He said before she had actually made it to him and Bowyn. This being the first time seeing her up close, Kaleb kept his eyes on her. He was looking at the fairy with more wonder than attraction. Kaleb found Rue to be a graceful image he’d find on the book cover of a children’s fairytale. 

As Rue greeted cheerfully, Kaleb was already type-casting her in his head.  [color=goldenrod][i]She seems friendly…[/i][/color] When she quickly averted her gaze from him, he briefly looked at Bowyn. They were the ones acquainted after all, so it was best to allow them to talk. That tension though. Kaleb couldn't help but think something had happened he was completely unaware of. This was not good, but the drama could be so rich for what would be a grand adventure. He wondered why her eyes were red and sad-looking despite her smile. Kaleb thought she would address Bowyn first, but she spoke to him instead, all without meeting his gaze. [color=goldenrod][i]...but kinda timid unlike Bowyn.[/i][/color]

[color=goldenrod]“Of course not, pets love me. Plus, you seem quite friendly, so why wouldn’t your good friend be too?”[/color] Kaleb smiled. [color=goldenrod]“Name’s Kaleb by the way. Pleasure to meet you, but… where’s…”[/color] He purposely tried to peer around her before looking at their surroundings with a confused expression. [color=goldenrod]“...where’s Arn? I was told the rascal would be with you.”[/color]
