Avag grinned at Caulind, nodding. "Wow! I can imagine. Being able to see what someone you're fighting is thinking next, that seems super useful! Then being able to calm them down, or provoke them, or anything! You must be really good at this. I bet it'll be useful with the dragon. You could tell us how it plans on fighting, and also maybe if Henri over there is planning on doing something stupid. And let us talk to each other at the speed of thought, so we aren't yelling at each other in the middle of a fight! Oh, and I bet most of the folk here are Song users, since we came here expecting a big, dangerous adventure. Think I overheard a lot of people talking about using Songs. I bet that if we added all our skills together, we could probably take down Naissyri ourselves! I'm still half expecting to have to pull Henri's ass out of the fire - hah, maybe literally! - so we should be prepared if he's going to be doing unnecessary backflips or something."
He paused for half a second, then carried on talking. "You know, I wouldn't blame the knight for seeking a good reputation if he wasn't, well, a knight. I'm here for reputation, honestly. You need it as an adventurer, especially a wandering one, so people know they can trust you with their problems. It's super important! Otherwise people are just having to take your word for it that you can help them, and it's hard for them to take you seriously. Whereas if you have a good reputation as an adventurer, people come to you with their problems and trust you with the really important stuff. Otherwise, if they have a sensitive problem, what reason do they have to even tell you about it?" He shrugged. "It's more about the adventure than the rewards, anyway. Most of the places I help are farming villages, and the most they can really pay without asking too much is like food and board. I was trying to track down a bandit king who they say has a big hoard, though then I got waylaid helping that village with the ant problem, and then I heard about this and I admit I kind of got distracted by the prospect of fighting a dragon..." He once again turned to Caulind. "What about you? You look well enough off, if you don't mind me saying. You just here for the adventure? I can respect that!"
