Raudd could not help but chuckle a little bit after hearing Yue explained why she ran. [color=#0050ff][b]"Yeah, I know what you mean."[/b][/color] He replied with a solemn note hidden among the jovial tone he expressed. [color=#0050ff][b]"Archer had a bit of a meltdown though, especially after you decided to power walk out of the crater. Considering all that came of it was some bruises, it was quite funny to see."[/b][/color] He continued as Dean explained what he had promised to do if someone decided to harass Yue with more advice.

With Yue's musings about needing a strap or chain for the medallion and the following distracted question Raudd couldn't help but answer. [color=#0050ff][b]"On the right track, but asking the wrong thing, it's why does it do that for you. And I'm gonna leave it at that or I might spend the next few days playing turnip."[/b][/color] He said giving a nod to Dean, and the invisible entropic mass that he presumed to be Golem.

Deans mention of the meeting and Halcyon were met with a loud [color=#0050ff][b]"Ugh"[/b][/color] from Raudd, rogue politics and dealing with Halcyon wasn't really something he was all that into on the best of days, but when Halcyon found anything to 'hoard tax' it became soooo much more annoying almost instantly. Big stick diplomacy doesn't really work that well with Halcyon given the problems it'll drag back to the Stoneworks, and any other method or means of placating would be costly. [color=#0050ff][b]"Don't remind me, it's going to be such a pain in the ass."[/b][/color]

It was as they were walking following Dean to Alex's home that Raudd reminded himself of the bundle of fruit he casually had slung across his shoulder... Mostly due to finally understanding why people had been staring at him, honestly it was kind of surprising that neither Dean nor Yue had made mention if it. [color=#0050ff][b]"Either of you want a hand cherry?"[/b][/color] He asked before twisting a couple of the overgrown cherries off it's stalks and handing them out to the others. [color=#0050ff][b]"Just be careful I'd wager a guess that the pit is supersized as well."[/b][/color] He mused before taking a bit bite out of his cherry... A little sweeter than normal, stronger flavor as well.

[color=#0050ff][b]"I'm so sorry I wasn't there to help."[/b][/color] Raudd muttered under his breath as the shrine entered his view and Dean's feet got glued to the ground his eyes fixated on it for a few long moments before seeming to be returned to reality by his partner.
