Ioannes/Yayha observed Isabeau as she walked to the smithy, the soldier walking beside her from a safe distance. From his first few glances alone, he can see that the woman was both tempramental and skilled, not a medium to heavy fighter like him, but light combat was not to be underestimated, either, especially not when combined with the brimming rage that was evident in the woman's...everything.

The Gnome, meanwhile, was someone after his own heart, weapons-wise, although a bit lacking in melee options. She also had an apochetary's satchel; perhaps she was a healer? 

Also, there was the Half-Elven Guard, who seemed to be the [i]first[/i] person sent by the Guard Captain of the town to watch over the group. He seemed like a true soldier more than a guard; perhaps a veteran of the wars? Either way, Ioannes/Yahya decided to treat him with the respect and deference due to a fellow man of arms, although it was his private belief that if it came to a spar, he would be able to beat the Half-Elf, which tied to another personal belief; that the Giray Mamluks were the best soldiers in the world; individual warriors can be better, but a troop of Giray Mamluks acting in concert were [i]powerful[/i]. 

Either way, it was time to introduce himself, especially as the auburn-haired woman was getting less angry.

"I'll be going to the smithy too; secure a contract to get more bolts for my crossbow," he tapped the aforementioned weapon, before deciding to introduce himself.

"Anyway, my name is Ioannes, a Hellene," Hellenes being the term for people from the Kingdom of Hellas, which [i]was[/i] Ioannes' birth parents' original home. "I came to help, as I stated before." 

The first part was a technical truth, the second was sincere.
