It wasn't exactly surprising that all three mercenaries had problems with the king and his mages. While Eirún still didn't fully trust Brigitte and especially her Luxun bodyguard, it was more than clear at that point that Brigitte's fiery hatred towards the mages was far from being an act. While the power struggles and conspiracies that noble houses were so eager to involve themselves in wasn't something that would spark any sympathy from common people or mercenaries, their fight against the mage invaders was definitely a good cause to put one's faith on.

Brigitte's reaction and body language as she spoke wasn't the only one Eirún paid attention to though. The hooded man, whom introduced himself as Aslan, seemed to be quite eager and happy when the possibility of a rebellion against the mages was mentioned. In another hand, Siegfried, the magekiller, seemed to have quite a healthy dose of mistrust, despite agreeing with Brigitte's cause, something Eirún herself could both understand and agree herself.

Fortunately, once all three of the mercenaries made clear their intentions to join the cause, the tension created by the Luxun bodyguard, Nika, started to slowly dissipate. Eirún could understand why one needed to be cautious, especially considering the situation Brigitte and her bodyguard were in. With that said, the irony of Nika's statement wasn't lost on her, whom reacted to his words by raising an eyebrow with a subtle smirk considering it was exactly the same for her and pretty much the rest of the mercenaries as well...

With that matter dealt with, both Maeki and Bet were quick to offer their support regarding rooms for the night and food until the group was ready to leave. Maeki's connections with the Dwarven rebels would also be quite useful. Having more allies was never enough, considering they were trying to go against the Mage king and his minions... And considering the information Maeki soon disclosed to both Eirún and Aslan, it seemed they didn't have much time. Acting as the true parasites they were, the mages had already started moving within Fenris territory almost immediately after the fall of the Fenris family. For Eirún particularly, the news that some mages were seeing combing through the forests with pyromancers was very worrying... Hopefully sooner rather than later, she would have to find a way to communicate with her people and warn them, Something that would prove to be very difficult... at least if she wanted to keep her and her people a secret from the newly formed group of mercenaries and ragged, fugitive nobles.

But such matters would be better left for the following morning. According to what Maeki, Bet and Brigitte herself were talking, the journey wouldn't be neither easy nor safe. It would be wise to rest well when they could.
