Bardulf paused as he felt the slight tension growing between the two men. He almost backpedaled as he began to think twice about approaching such a group late at night. [color=f7941d][i]Goodness, maybe I shouldn't have approached so eagerly.[/i][/color] Luckily for him, their aggressive outbursts seemed to be targeted at each other rather than him, so he calmed himself. It was the approach of the female that brought him to stiffen a little, watching as she circled him like he was some exotic animal. He could tell by her body language and manner of speaking that she didn't mean harm, but watching her suddenly bring her hand close to his face definitely warranted a reaction as he furrowed his brows ever so slightly. He kept calm however as he put it back and spoke to him.

[color=fff79a]"You are a human? If you are, please remain at my side. I can give you shelter and protect you with my life."[/color]

His eyes would widen slightly while his brows returned to their resting state. He took a moment to make sure he had heard that right before speaking up again.

[color=f7941d]"I...yes I am human. Something I am learning is rare around these parts. You seem to be an...elf? If I have that right? I do not know what these other two are, so my apologies. That being said, protect me with your life? We've only just met after all, I hope I didn't bring danger here just by walking into town..."[/color]

He looked around once more, seeing if he could perceive any threats by chance. A single moving shadow, a scuffle of dirt, even the sound of cloth rustling as if to move out of sight. Once he ascertained that he wasn't followed, he turned back towards the group.

[color=f7941d]"It seems I have a lot to learn. Please, at the very least some shelter would be nice. I have many questions."[/color]

He stood there, almost shrinking into his cloak a moment as he moved it to cover his upper body with it. He proceeded to cover the top of his head with his cloak as he realized his appearance seemed to draw attention, looking to the trio and nodding before speaking up in a much more hushed tone.

[color=f7941d]"If you'll have me, then I shall follow. Just uhh, don't shout at me please."[/color]
