Brushing of the snow from his layered clothes, Thalia's presence caught the noble Aurelian by surprise. His eyes were stuck on her for a moment, glued to her face as memories and features failed to connect. His startlement along with what ever thoughts gave him pause were short lived as a humoured proud smile cracked across his lips. 

It had been so long since he received such a casual greeting. Even from amongst his '[i]friends.[/i] Following her gaze to the pole in his gloved hand he simply gave a slight nod of agreement.  

"[b][color=firebrick]Ah, so good to see a fellow Aurelian.[/color][/b]" He said warmly as he stepped away from his staff, grin still on his lips.
"[b][color=firebrick]I thought to find one of those southerners in here looking after the animals.[/color][/b]"
The shimmering steel pole refused to fall, defying logic despite being absent any support.

As he brushed the snow off his pants with both hands he carried on."[b][color=firebrick]You must of come here with the prince, I thank you for your service and commitment. I hope he has been looking after you well.[/color][/b]"
 
Content with the remaining snow on his clothes Virgal gave up  and stood up straight, turning his attention away from his clothes and the girl as he ran his gaze around the barn.
"[b][color=firebrick]I imagine it is no easy feat, being surrounded by these blightborn and Lunarians constantly.[/color][/b]" he spoke as if to no one in particular. His eyes taking stock of his surrounds and the animals. 

Turning his attention back to her once more, again her appearance giving his words pause.
"[b][color=firebrick]. . . That boar is a gift for the prince. Please look after it well. Was many a time I thought to just save myself the hassle and eat him on the way. It's not like Flynn would know any way.[/color][/b]" He trailed of with a chuckle before reaching out and taking back his staff. The light having possibly even faded a little bit more in that time. 

"[b][color=firebrick]Forgive me miss, I seem to have left my manners somewhere back on that long dark road. I am lord Calistar and I'm here to see prince Flynn. I was advised by the gate guards that he is currently not at his residence, do you know where I might find him?[/color][/b]"
