[quote=@Horrid]The mention of age from the both of them had flown over her head, and was pushed completely out when she heard a voice that sounded a bit older and more mature. She wheeled around and looked to the tree-line to see a towering beast of a man emerging from the brush. Eager to speak with someone who seemed a bit more grounded and a bit more human, she raised a mailed arm and waved slightly. "What ho, and all that! What news does the day bring, brother? Are you lost as well?"[/quote]

Jacque suppressed a small chuckle at the greeting of the armor clad woman in the group. He hadn't heard the term "what ho" since the last time he'd spoken to an old dwarfish wizard he'd met a while back, still, the greeting was a good sign that the group was not hostile. "[b]And a fine greeting to you as well, Miss. Funny you should mention being lost, I myself am a local, but I was actually going to ask if you all might be in need of direction.[/b]" he explained as he came to a stop two meters away from the group. Despite standing before what might possibly be the strangest group of people he'd met since his retirement, Jacque showed neither fear, nor apprehension despite the sight and smell of the draconic, undead, or otherwise nonhuman creatures that comprised a majority of this cluster of people. He'd seen many strange things, far more than what an average man of his age would have seen, and a result it would take something truly awe inspiring to illicit a proper reaction from him now. "[b]So...[/b]" Jacque began as he placed his hands on his hips and cocked his head to the side a bit, "[b]What brings you lot to this island? You look a bit strange to be tourists if you don't mind me saying.[/b]".
