"As I said earlier." Darren said calmly, his head tilted down slightly so that his eyes were looking down at the bar. "I was just escorting a merchant to one of the nearby towns. He said that he wouldn't have talked to a guild that was closer to that town than we were, but he figured that a new guild like ours would need some big jobs." The swordsman explained, pausing as he heard two new voices from some distance away. One of the spoke out as he assumed that they reached the guild hall, but could have been closer for all he knew."I'm actually surprised though, he didn't talk about my blindness not once while we walked, which I was happy about. I never asked him why, but I assume the he had good reasoning."

Kori smiled at the swordsman and placed a glass of water right in front of him, placing it down with a bit more force than usual, just so that he knew it was there. Usually, she would place things down as delicately and quietly as possible, but she couldn't really do that with Darren since he probably wouldn't even know that it was there if she did. She saw that he picked up the glass and downed it's contents with his free hand while the other grasped the sheathe of his katana lightly. "Just water." She told him kindly, so that he would know what he was drinking just before he drank it.
