Luna furrowed her brow. "Mark of your training? Whatever that means." She looked around, mostly at the other Shepherds, before quickly turning her attention back to Rachel. "Rachel? Oh, what a pretty name." She smiled as she remarked the last bit. "Hm, oh well that's..." She trailed off, how long ago had she joined the Shepherds. Her years of living alone, coupled with the fact she was a Manakete, made her a terrible tell of time. "I can't quite remember how long ago it was I joined, probably less than a year. No more than two I wanna say." She shook her head. "And let's see. Why I joined huh?" She sat silent a moment before finally remembering. "Oh right. It was because at some point I was getting attacked by a whole bunch of guys for no reason at all. And then these Shepherds came in and were all like, "Stay back you fowl vagabonds!". And then they rescued me, so I decided to join them to show my thanks!" She explained the entire situation making various animated hand gestures as she went. "So that about sums it up, how 'bout you?" She tilted her head slightly, Rachel had raised an amount of curiosity from the young Manakete.

Brandt had simply trudged along with Kalina. That is, until the town came into sight. "By the gods! Thank you dearest Naga!" He shouted gleefully. As they entered into the town he looked to Kalina and smiled. "Guess we're not gonna shrivel up after all huh? And it's all thanks to you!" He scratched the back of his head. "Y-yeah, it really is..." He mumbled to himself. This young girl had truly just saved his life, he shuddered to think what might have happened with out her. In any case, his mind somewhat went blank at the smell of food. His stomach rumbled loudly. He then also remembered how terribly thirsty he was, and made no complaints when she dragged him towards the tavern.

Before the sweet satisfaction of water was to be his. A young man ran straight into Kalina, in turn shoving Brandt as well. "Watch where you're going!" He barked at the man instinctively. Very swiftly, Brandt had dawned a harsher looking face. He began carrying himself more menacingly. He immediately noticed the glint of gold, coupled with the fact eh was being run down by guards. This man, was a thief. He silently allowed the young man to lead them into the tavern, not wanting to make a scene out in the open. After they had entered the inn he immediately turned to the young man and grabbed his collar. "Alright, what did you steal? And you're answer will effect the outcome of this conversation." He needed to figure out what it was quickly, lest himself and Kalina get stuck in a storm of trouble.
