It only took the walk from the prison to the airship docks for Fion to tire of keeping up the charade that he didn't know who 'Eldren' actually was. Of course, considering what else he had overheard while he'd learned that the man was Riley in a different body for whatever reason, telling her outright that he'd been eavesdropping would be a rather bad idea. Then again, now that he knew that Eldren was Riley, the fact that Horace was her uncle was rather obvious, considering that every other male in that prison hadn't been human. Or a witch, for that matter. But that was a given. Still, he'd get around to that whenever they got a moment to themselves. 

When they'd reached the airship with the crowd around it, Fion took a look at the captain of the ship and leader of the expedition, some elf who the original Eldren had apparently been friends with. With him were a number of notable Sword Skills users that Fion had heard of over the years...and Lucius Courtright. Fion frowned. His old classmate looked a far cry from the utter tool that he'd known over the past few years, but this was also the same swordsman that Fion had utterly demolished in a duel not long ago. And that greatsword didn't look like it was a talentium one, either. Courtright was just above average with Sword Skills, and if he was fighting without talentium, that would only decrease the strength of his abilities. Of course, given that the monsters summoned last night were rumored to consume talentium, Fion could see the reasoning behind using steel weapons, but Courtright was nowhere near good enough to not have his skills suffer for it. 

Regardless, Fion brushed past Lucius. The man looked broken already, and if he had a death wish, it wasn't Fion's place to deny him that. Walking up to the elf captain and whatever woman was with him, Fion raised a hand in greeting. 

"So, heard you were looking for more men. Think you'll take a one-armed Sword Arts user?" He smirked ruefully, flipping his cloak back to reveal his missing arm. "I can still cast spells just fine, but if you're looking for swordsmanship, well, give me a few months and maybe I'd be competent again."
