Aldin grimaced slightly. He supposed it would make sense that this new colleague would be difficult to communicate with. It felt somewhat like he was speaking with someone who came from a foreign land. He shook his head. "[color=8882be]I see. Well, I'm confident that will all go well for you.[/color]" Before he could turn away, however, the door came open, and a great deal of information was unloaded on the two of them. Aldin was polite enough not to interrupt, especially as this character came off as a bit like she would prefer to say what need be said, and be done with it.

Another who probably wasn't much for conversation, though in this case, not in the sense of not speaking much. The swordsman decided not to snipe at the comment, still giving a curt nod. He needed to get moving on with his own task. So, he started to make his way towards the entrance, figuring he could meet up with whoever would be in his team once he was there.

However, the sound of an explosion down the hall caught his interest. Hand instinctively moved to the hilt of his blade, Aldin made his way to the source of the noise. Upon his arrival, he found a door that smelled like something was burning behind it. Erring towards expediency, he opened the door, only to see a conversation had begun to unfold in the time it took before his arrival. Apparently a business transaction taking place. Nothing of his concern. From a quick glance, he could tell that the explosion he'd heard was one from an accident rather than subterfuge, and furthermore, there didn't appear to be any signs of injury, from the rather casual conversation.

"[color=8882be]... My apologies,[/color]" Aldin spoke, turning to leave. He didn't feel any need to intrude upon this conversation, and even though the member of the staff was new to him, he already felt a headache welling up from present company and the unique blend of smells in the room.
