I chuckle nervously and step aside, allowing the ladies out of the room. "I was reviewing the details of the flyer I'd found a couple towns back. Helps I was glancing up now and then, but not enough to notice finer details." Reviewing the laughter of the two women, I mull it over in my mind before smiling a knowing smile. "Ah, I see. Your friends' laughter is most likely a side effect of my manner and approach to the situation." I head towards the front of the inn, still trying to figure out who the people I'd just spoke to were, when I stop and look back. "I'm rather the adept warrior, if you really wish to know. But I'm also a gentleman and a joker."

Looking a the one called Mara, I crack a small smile and indicate her scythe. "I bet you're a harvest season dream with that, milady. The reach you have with it would cut down the amount of time you spent in the field and let you move on to other chores faster. Of course, you'd end up tripping over it when you bent down to pick up the wheat, but I'm sure you could figure out something, great scorpion slayer." The mention of the word scorpion brought my attention back to what Veragwen had said about one being the monster and it being changed to shoot black mist from it's tail, the mist that had killed everyone here.

"I must inquire, why would one cause such pointless death? To kill the inhabitants of such an out of the way town seems...well, strategically useless. Of course, maybe he was just mad and enjoys the deaths."
