Cedar breathed a deep breath as Matilda put the man back down, hoping the situation was on the path to being diffused.

"[color=7bcdc8]Aright-- 'ats bedder.  Now den..[/color]" he said, scanning the room quickly once more, this time looking for something sturdy enough to sit down on. He noted Reinhold's hastily packed bag in the process of the search. Coming up essentially empty for anything he could sit on, he grabbed two chairs from the dining table, and politely scooted them over to Ingmar and Bertolf, so that they could sit, then levered himself to the floor with a small thud as his back fell against the wall. Seated, he was closer to eye level, and he felt he would be a lot less imposing that way than being hunched over and looming over them. It was a lot more comfortable on his back that way as well. Having gotten all settled in the matter of only a few seconds, he continued. "[color=7bcdc8]I sees ya is packin', 'at means ya eit'er wanna skip town, or ya has some idear where them barstards is run off ta.[/color]"

He chuckled, and made an almost mirthful smirk with surprisingly jovial eyes when motioning toward Reinhold, and his narcolepsy. 

"[color=7bcdc8]An' if that fellar's so tired as he can fall asleep up'in th' air like 'at, ya's been at it awhile now. Anythung yas could tells us'd be mighty appreciated-- e'en if i's jus' where them dumbshits went through at. I's a purdy good tracker muhself.. mebbe I'd sniff out summat as you fellars as missed.[/color]'

He shrugged and raised one paw gently above his shoulder with the pad up in a shrug. "[color=7bcdc8]I's worth a shot a' least...  say-- You fellars hungry? When we found that fellar 'Birk' in 'at ol' fort tow'r, he's practically skin & bones. I dun see much a hangin up ta dry in here neither. If'n you kids is hungry, 'at fellar o'er 'dere went an' paid a small fortune to fix me up-- 'em nice people at de farm down de road is a cookin' it up fer us. While I's can eats it all down no problem, it aint gunna happen all at once'd. If ya can get a bowl full daown yas faster an I can makes it disappear, ya welcome ta it. Jus' be social, an' tells us all ya does know, aright?[/color]"
