Flinn interupts Rivana as she starts walking away "Äh, could you wait a second. You led us outside and told us to wait. My stuff is still in the common rooms."

With that Flinn darts into the tavern only to return a few minutes later unarmored but for an used yet functional shield bearing no insignia.

He is now armed with a couple of plain daggers tugged away and a newly looking short sword in the scabbard hanging at his side. "Now we can face the dangers lying ahead. Lead on Miss Rivana."

Without any question or hesitation, Gralm starts to follow. He is constantly looking to both sides of the road, not in an attempt to spot danger or threats but to observe the area. He would often walk up to 20 feet away from the road if an elevated spot blocked his view. He would often ask about things that were not in Waymoot. Checking to see if the others have seen things like it in comparison. 

Ramallo makes his up just behind and to the side of the woman clearly garbed in foreign attire. "It appears that our 'guide' here is one for the more dramatic. Wanting to build the mystery of our destination.... Hello there, you appear to be far from home. Name's Ramallo." As they make the trek, the wizard busies himself by mimicking the sakura blossoms of her robe into the trees and bushes as they pass.

Qit sighs audibly. And starts to follow the guide and group up towards the long trip to the house. Qit staying at the back of the group.

Gralm watches Ramallo fading in and out of the trees. This intregues him. "Ramallo! Is this some time of game that was played where you are from? Or perhaps some time of training? It kinda looks like fun. What else can you tell me about your homeland?"

While making the journey, Gralm notice that Flinn is having to take twice as many steps as the others and almost 5 times as many as himself. He turns to him and ask, "Would you like to sit atop my shoulder so you don't have to run as much?"

Being from the area and having some basic understanding of nature Flinn will educate Gralm on the local flora and Fauna "That over there is a queensmood leaf. See those 5 pointed jagged leaves. That's an unmistakable sign. It's said to lighten your mood if you chew it."

100ft later "Oh and that over there is a kalam bush. It will be quite a sight to watch come spring, but you'll need to be careful as ist berries are poisoning making you sick."

While Flinn has to take more steps than his companions he doesn't seem winded at all. He's keeping up easily with the group while maintaining conversation with anyone interested in doing so. "Oh thanks a lot Gralm. But there is no need. Doing fine down here." he says with a smile on his face.

The girl looks aside to the wizard introducing himself. She regards him quietly for a moment, then bows her head respectfully. "Kinuko. And... yes, I suppose you could say that," she says evasively. Glancing at their guide, her brow furrows slightly. "Yes, I have noticed. It puts me at unease," she murmurs to him. "I am not, however, comfortable with the thought of any dangerous magic within being left to looters or miscreants. I must find out what lies within..."

The elf jumps as the larger bugbear begins to pepper him with questions from behind. "Oh...uh, hello there," Ramallo replies. "No, not game from home. Just trying to keep my mind somewhat sharp, and maybe ease some of the boredom as we make our way to the mansion."

The girl Kinuko glimpses over her shoulder at the sizable creature behind her, then returns to her vigilance of the path. She seems to like her quiet, focusing less on the conversation and listening past it to the whispers of the trees and brush -- all the while keeping a curious eye on Rivana.
