Jack? Vali thought. He knew that Adrianna was the guild master of course, but who was this Jack guy? From the way he was mentioned it seemed like the guild respected him just as much as they did the guild master. He wanted to ask who this suddenly mysterious man was but Vali honestly didn't have the time at the moment. Maybe when they were all settled down he would be nosey and learn more. Not too long after, the Titan was introduced with a mug full of ale. With a nod towards the temptress he chugged quickly prepping himself for the road more than anything. The frosty bitterness of the liquid gave the viking lord a refreshing feeling.
The Demon information would be the topic of discussion later just as Tomoe said, right now there were important matters in the faces of them all. When Vali finally announced what was going in his life and asked for the three of them to come along, Sage was the first to volunteer. Vali smirked with a chuckle
"How did I know? Alright then. I have to warn ya though things may be a bit more dangerous then it sounds.". Although the two of them hadn't known each other very long, it was good to see that he made such a loyal friend in Sage. Plus from what he witnessed in the woods, this golden boy wasn't just any ordinary mage.
Val's eyes shifted to Tomoe as he was the second to speak letting it be known that preventing things from crumbling was his strong suit. The crazy thing was that although the Desiertan didn't know anything about Tomoe's abilities, having him by his side eased him more than anyone else around him. Val gave a light laugh and rubbed the back of his head as Tomoe poked at how he spoke.
"Alright alright." He was bad at this type of thing really. Then from beside him he heard a metal bang on a surface. Quickly he turned to see the bronze queen smiling at him. She insisted that they were a unit ensuring Val that they would handle this together.
Is this real? The half-elf couldn't believe what he was hearing. The gods knew exactly what they were doing by bringing him to people just as worthy as himself, all he could do was smile.
"Understood. Just try to keep up." he teased. Aisha revealed that she wouldn't be riding any of the Vikings steeds, instead she had her own. "Altair?" He asked. Just after Aisha offered Sage a ride on whatever Altair was Tomoe urged the fairies- and sage, to move quick.
"Right." He nodded as he walked towards the door. When he caught up with Tomoe he'd place a hand on his shoulder.
"You will see." He smiled as if he had some sort of surprise in store.
When the Viking finally stepped outside he didn't only see two of his warriors, apparently an extra two caught up as well.
"Four of you didn't need to come, we still need to keep a low profile here. The first thing the people will do when they see men like us is report to the authorities." in the Icebergan language.
"Ya gone soft now eh? Afraid of a little Fiorian pussies? Sorry Vali but your father said you needed an escort of four. He doesn't trust the Fiorians." Fiorians being the only word his peers would understand, the conversation continued in Icebergic
"Not soft just not a fuckin' idiot. This is not Skaal and my father is not in control over here. My Old man bag of bones doesn't know how to adjust." He said frustratedly as he hopped on his horse as another one stood beside him waiting for Tomoe to get on.
"Bringing a few of em too Aye? One of the warriors snarled as he turned towards the group of Fairies.
"These are my friends- wait, Are...you pressing me?" He asked, eyes penetrating the warriors soul. The horseman huffed and turned his head to face forward.
"No, M'lord." "Don't forget why you have the privilege to be here,brother." He warned in Fiorian, his voice bold and daunting.
"Go against my word again and I'll knock your fuckin' teeth out myself." he sighed in his native tongue. Only part of him was entirely serious. The people of Iceberg had rulers yes, but they weren't afraid to speak their minds they just knew better not to partake in treachery. With the Jarl of Skaal back things would be a bit harder for Val to control. His father ships were the reason he was able to travel here, hopefully the old man didn't think he'd have more pull than his son in Fiore. Being a leader in this country was different from being a leader in Iceberg, he needed to be smarter, he needed to adapt.
The lord looked back to see if his friends were ready to go. Quickly two of the Viking warriors would make their way beside Vali and Tomoe to ensure their safety.
"Come on." He'd command as soon as he saw Sage, Aisha and Tomoe prepared for the travel. The he and his would warriors begin moving forward.
We'll be back as soon as possible, this'll be quick. Or so he thought.
