Xavier looked at Haklo, watching him with predatory eyes was more accurate as the young noble spoke of his assignment and need for strong individuals. He looked to the side feigning boredom and noticed the others coming as well, The hunter, the priest Alterel, that accursed loud mouth he almost physically flinched seeing the knight again, the guardswoman, and others he did not recognize. He nodded "You have my blade for as long as you can pay my fee, I'm, afterall a mercenary, not like these people." He says and looks away looking around, looking for...something, his eyes a light for a second and he rubs them tiredly. "I need to find a place to sleep, somewhere that I don't have to worry about stray people and whatnot, got anywhere in mind?" He asks more of aquesiton for the first person to speak up than towards the Noble.
