Brone took a step back, startled by the sudden expression Kaito's face. The look and the fangs put the dwarf on edge, causing him to instinctively reach for the handle of his axe, but he caught himself before he felt the weapon. As the red haired young man walked back to his side of the room, Brone realized he had forgotten an important detail about Kaito, the fact that his skin was cursed. He clenched his fist, wondering how close he was to being affected by the curse he had heard about only through a mention he heard only once. But another thought filled the dwarf's mind and that was Kaito's feelings; it wasn't just the fact he was almost touched, but the conversation, or offer to inspect a new faction. Brone walked back to his seat, though he remained standing, for he could now tell that no one within the room was relaxed, save for the exceeds.
He wanted to know who this 'leader' was that Kaito spoke of, possible the one who's founding the new faction. As for the cursed man calling the masked person 'Amir', the dwarf was surprised, his eyes instantly went to the masked person the moment he heard the name, making it obvious the dwarf caught that. However, regardless of what is being said, Brone was hesitant to speak. The atmosphere within the room was dark and he himself was the only one that seemed excited for the offer Yuurei had, though Amir stated he had an interest, he had a prior engagement.
Everything else that was said seemed very confusing to the dwarf. But from what he could catch from the mouths of others, was that there was a lack of information due to secrecy, and that secrecy may be played in this 'power struggle'. This was all too confusing, everything seem too vague. There was no name for the faction or the supposed leader, even though Kaito stated Amir knew the person, no name was mention. The power struggle had no name to whom is involved, if names were known. Yuurei was the one who brought this to the table, but it seemed, save for Brone, everyone else had already an idea of what was on the table, and no one looked to happy about it. He wanted to ask who the leader was, who were the threat to the new faction and of course who this new faction was, but he figured asking such things would bring trouble and worsen the black cloud that was already figuratively filling the room, and in the end he probably wouldn't even get the answers.
With that contemplation within his mind, Brone figured the meeting wouldn't go anywhere, and if it did, he wouldn't understand, so best that he would start making his way, "As I said, I'm in on this, given that ye seem sure about this, Yuurei" Brone's excited expression from earlier was replaced by a serious and concern look, "And if something seems off or there is trouble, at least I'll be there to confirm, taking the brunt of it, and I'll let ye know the truth, Kaito" He turned to Kaito. The red haired young man had shown friendship to the dwarf, though it was in tidbits and they had just recently met, but something about the mage gave the dwarf a sense that he was a descent guy who was simply concerned.
"I'll be heading up there now so time can be cut short" Brone said to Yuurei before he turned away and headed towards the door. He grabbed the sides of the door and ripped it from the doorframe again, placing it leaning against the wall. The doorframe was severely damaged, so there was no use to putting the door back. Brone left to go on his next adventure.
