Laeris simply strode on grimly, ignoring for the most part; the announcements of their leader. He was well traveled. It could probably be argued that he knew areas and such better than Derek, but Laeris chose not to voice such. He didn't really want to be the one responsible if anything happened to the group. That and he preferred to be the one on the sidelines. Let Derek have the attention. It'd be much better if the soldier could slip by unnoticed. Sometime during the walk, he had methodically stripped off his armor and packed it away, lest it be noticed for what it was; and he was now walking in simply shirt and breeches, with the shin high leather boots from earlier. And his sword was still belted on his hip. He wasn't willing to forfeit that out of sight just yet.

Part of him wished he had a good horse as the walls of the city engulfed their party. Horses would make travel so much easier... but he realized why he had forfeit his. A desert was no place for such a loyal mount and it would only cause more stress to try and keep it alive. But gods he missed having a good horse.

"I'll look for supplies once I get cleaned up," he offered. Not really one who felt like resting and relaxing just yet. Plus, his campaigning days had reminded him to take inventory of their stock on a daily - camp basis, so who better to restock their provisions?

He didn't mention anything about the blacksmith. He knew his sword would hold out just find. And he polished and took care of it so much on his own already, he partially feared what a blacksmith might do to it.
