Stephan scoffed at Iroryn's bet. "They are a month late, running out of supplies is to easy a call to make. Keep your coin Knife Ear." he was able to get out before Oliva snapped at him. "Righto Boss Lady, Just remember that whole "respect the dead" thing when your telling me to search his corpse later on." he shot back before taking another bite of his apple. When Ariel started to speak up Stephan started to perk up then slouched back, "If you're not going to put your coin where your mouth is then I really don't care for your opinion." He said before starting to mumble to himself. "Stupid B Team... No fun at all... At least Gwen would of humored me with a bet..."
Alm had continued to prep dinner with Kaeciel the Beastman was small and seemed frail to the look. Although Alm knew he was tough from what he had head from Jing. And this frailness seemed to show even more when he spoke. "Sehr Elm...I pray zeht zehy are all safe." Alm smiled at Kaeciel, "I do too. But in our line of work, things don't always go the nice way. I wouldn't get your hopes up on finding them in a good situation even if they are still alive." He cautioned the young Beastmen. Alm liked Kaeciel he was a good kid and with him being a beastman Alm felt a bit more at ease, maybe this kid could relate to his animistic instincts that were awakened all that time ago during that ritual.
But the next thing Kaeciel said truly started a bit of a commotion "Thats what I like to hear!" Stephan said jumping up with a clap. "Looks like the Demi-Human has more balls then the rest of you combined!" he continued walking over to Kaeciel with a grin. "Alright Bud lets sign up this little contra..." He started before Alm stepped in between the two. "Stand down Stephan, you know as well as I do it's a rigged bet and the kid doesn't know what a bet really is." Stephan stopped looking annoyed now. "Ohh look who it is. The little pup is given some power by daddy and thinks he can play with the big boys. Let the Demi-Human do what he wants with his Soverns, its not like your his father or anything he is a big boy." Stephan Edged on Alm while slowly moving one hand to his belt. "I said STAND DOWN," Alm replied while licking one of his canine teeth and his left eye started to shine bright blue. "Fine, Fine I give." Stephan finally said while throwing up his hands after a tense few seconds. he turned and went to return to his hammock "Remember to control yourself Alm... Or else you aren't any better than a demi-human yourself." He warned under his breath low enough that the others would not of head but Alm was able to pick it up clearly.
After Stephan backed down Alm let out a breath his fist un-clenched and his eye returned to normal. After taking a moment to recompose himself he turned to Kaeciel, "Be careful around Stephan, and never take one of his bets." Alm said before returning to his meal prep.
