Ansen nodded to Jason and tipped his hat back so to reveal more of his face. "Ansen, I work off names not off of titles, but many call me a circle guardian for what I did and still do to this day." He replied, opening his mouth to speak again before falling silent upon hearing Sakura's word. The Cianid's ears twitched upon hearing them, and he stared at her for a long minute before extending a hand towards the girl with a warm smile. "If you wish to do that then allow me to help and carry your burden as well, Erolyte... I seem to be the first to ask for such a responsibility, after all." The guardian pointed out, glancing over at Anders as he spoke, the general knew it was because of what he said in response to the request Ansen proposed. [i]He will be a difficult one to handle...

Feress blinked and his ears twitched, obviously surprised with what Elaine said. The kitsune hesitated at first, then spoke up, knowing there were a few complications involved with what she wanted to do. "I am unsure how we are traveling.. But miss Elaine this is a dangerous journey... How old are you? And why do you want to do this?" He asked, breaking the handshake. The researcher obviously seeming nervous over the idea of having an eight year old with the group... After all if a child were to die because he couldn't say no, he would never forgive himself.
