Perking up from his resting place as Altuo’s reveal came sooner rather than later. The brushing of bushes gave the elf away long before their voice did. As they emerged from between the greenery that surrounded from all angles, Goji couldn't help but scoff at the question.
"Charms of the Woodsea eh?" His tone low was edged with a grizzled sarcasm as Goji repeated back the words.
"Yeah, real charming. All it’s missing is a pack of beasts trying to rip our throats out."As Altuo got straight to the point of their trek, Goji pushed off the tree with a firm kick. His boots sinking slightly into the soft forest floor as he started forward.
"Shaky alliances and fragile egos. Sounds like a great time." With a roll of both his eyes and his shoulders Goji prepared himself for the questionably long day ahead.
"I’ll do my part. Just don’t expect me to hold back if anyone decides to do something stupid." The walk to the village was uneventful though the merc's eyes were constantly scanning their surroundings. His appearance alone seemed to shift the atmosphere as they arrived. A few villagers that had been lingering along the edge of the settlement scattering when they caught sight of him.
Once there, the duo wasted no effort setting to the task. Goji’s no nonsense nature getting the right people into the right rooms with a swiftness. His sheer stature and demeanor shutting down those who seemed ready to argue but were too cowardly to follow through. After rounding them up he would leave his friend to work their usual charms. Coaxing key figures into conversation while Goji stood back, arms crossed, his surveying glance fixed on every face in the room.
"Let’s move this along." Was growled under his breath at even the slightest hint of heated debate starting to spark. His voice though not loud when he did speak up, battered through any rising arguments like a ram. The room settling each and every time under his demanding interjections. Compared to the other methods he had at his disposal to keep things civil, his stern words were a blessing that was maintaining the peace best they could.
