Lein beamed at the entrance of the two knights he had seen riding the griffins. [color=orange]"It's the griffin riders himself! My, I've only wandered in and I'm graced with your presence."[/color] Lein proclaimed, loud enough for much of the tavern to hear. Though Lein himself didn't slack in agility, there was something about how the white-haired trainee bounded off the tower that told him that those movements were ingrained with experience. And the sheer guts of the knights to run up to a griffin and try and tackle it to the ground? Well, not exactly the most thought out of plans, sure - but it was undeniably entertaining. Nothing to count against a stylish plan, no?

Lein pushed past the passing soldiers and planted himself firmly next to Lucas. He lifted the mug slid in front of him in thanks, though he did not drink from it. In a quick exchange of hands, the mug before Lein disappeared behind the bartender's arms and reappeared before the Hundi, filled to the brim with some kind of clear liquid. Lein winked at the bartender, who grunted disapprovingly but knew better to entangle with the strangeness of the Hundi's behavior. Lein took a big swig of his drink as if it was still the stiff alcohol and addressed Lucas with ears eager and attentive. [color=orange]"Now, if you'd regale me, where'd you learn to move like that? Did the Flower of the North teach you that one?"[/color]

As he scooched over to hear Lucas' tale, he kept watch on Fleuri's reaction. Unlike Lucas, whose name Lein had to badger out of a knight on their way back, the Champion of Flowers needed no such introduction. Some of the Aimlenn folk loved to talk about the hottest new champion, and the mysterious gladiator who gave up his title to serve the Roses was rich tinder for gossip indeed. Strange, though, since Lein hadn't seen much of Fleuri outside the training grounds or the Church sermons, so to have wandered all the way to the Frame... Perhaps he had taken a liking to the trainee. [i]Let's put an eye on this one. This might get pretty interesting.[/i]
