It was difficult for Two-One to look disheartened, but as Alexander explained the situation, the Myr slowly shrank back, folding his arms up a little closer to his chest with each new piece of information. By the time that Victoria replaced Alexander behind the bar, Two-One had mostly retreated all the way back into his robe, save for the tip of his beak-like head that poked out from underneath the tattered cloth.
Then Lanestol began talking, and while it did very little whatsoever to assuage the fears that Two-one harboured (rats are small things, easily chased away and fuzzy, rat men sounded far more dangerous), the promise of help was well-received. The array of lights on his head glowed a little more brightly.
"It would be help-helpful," Two-one began, his voice stumbling over the words slightly, "to go with somebody who knows about these rats and to see what ratman insides look like and to ha-have company. Normally I make company as I go. Talking is important, so you can have disagreements."
Two-One didn't radiate confidence, but in what passes for a heart, Two-One knew that he was a hero. And the most important part of being a hero was to be brave, and that involved overcoming fears. Therefore, to be a hero, one must have fears to overcome.
"It is good to go home too. Supplies! We need supplies," the beak turned slightly to point up towards Rachel, "and disguises and the other things th-that heroes use. Can I get food for Lanestol to take with us here? Such as more of the bread and more of the butter to go in the bread?"
