Everything had been going fairly well for Darius. He could more than handle himself, despite his "disability", as so many had referred to it. And things only seemed to get simpler when he joined up with the older woman. He worked and so did she to ensure that they both made it to where they needed to go. Yup things had been running smoothly. At least that was until they arrived at the town and Alara opened her mouth.

The fact was it would have been fairly simple to just walk around and gather information. Sure the young man could get lost, but that didn't matter. He would eventually find his way back. However, the way she made it seem as though he'd done little to nothing throughout the course of their journey bothered Darius. "Oh? You got us here?" He asked as he followed her out to the outdoor table and took a seat across from her. "I must have been asleep when you were piggy backing me here." He commented sarcastically before kicking his feet up. He seemed to think for a moment as he leaned back in his seat ever so slightly. "Now I have no problem looking for information." He admitted calmly. "...but you're gonna do it to." He chuckled slightly. Perhaps he was being differently. But her tone of voice and remarks of him doing nothing deserved retaliation. At least in his eyes they did. 

"You see I don't need help getting food. And I don't need to take orders from you." He sighed and shook his head a bit before shrugging a bit. "Besides, the townsfolk are more likely to speak to a strong beautiful woman such as yourself, rather than a young man like myself sporting an eye patch and a thuggish demeanor. As I'm sure you've noticed throughout our travels." He spoke calmly and used logic with a bit of flattery in an attempt to hold his ground. Yes... This was him being difficult. Well... This was the minimum of him being difficult.
