Mathais looked at the Warden as he walked out of the Inn and quickly looked at the elf who had addressed him. "I don't know about you but I am going with him. Do what you like but I am not going to stop working on this job" Mathias said after walking away from the elf and out the door. He quickly scanned the crowds for the Grey Warden. It took Mathias a few minutes to find the Grey Warden but as soon as he did, he ran to the Grey Warden. "I am going to help you search for the wife of the missing man. I doubt she will be staying somewhere expensive if anywhere at all. It might be best to ask if other refugees know of her." Mathais said as soon as he caught up to the Grey Warden. He doubted that it would be easy to find the woman but they needed to know where they could find the missing man.

Mathias could feel the tension between the refugees and the local Orlesians. Many of the refugees came from Fereldan and hated that they were forced from their homelands into the country which had occupied Fereldan for several years. Mathias understood their hatred for the Orlesians but he wished they would put aside the hatred for the more important matters, like the Blight. While several cities fell to the Blight, refugees would fight with locals over things that happened in the past. Few people ever tried to fight back against the Blight and those who did rarely ever came back. Mathias was hit with a flood of memories as he recalled a story told to him be a refugee. The story was of a horrifying encounter with Darkspawn on the way out of Fereldan, of how they killed without mercy. Mathias swore since then to kill any Darkspawn he ever sees and do help people who have been running from the Blight.
