[ It doesn't surprise him at all to hear that M'ahina is fond of high places. Between her archery and her feline qualities, it all makes good sense to him. That's certainly a trait that she and Renda-Rae share in common, for obvious reasons. Not that he's about to paint all Mystel archers with the same brush, but... ]
I suspect between the two of us we'll find those less traveled paths soon enough.
[ They're both seasoned adventurers with wanderlust in their blood, it's bound to happen even if they're only here for a short time. And who's to say how long it will be, at this point? M'ahina's time on the First had been rather extended when all was said and done. Then again, she'd also had the ability to return to the Source at any time. Not so in this situation.
They reach the place they'll be working and lodging, and Ardbert is content to let M'ahina take the lead. Interaction with others is something he's still adjusting to after so long, though he realizes he'll need to do so quickly if he has a shift coming up. The space they're granted to bunk in isn't much, especially for two people, but it's still a sight better than where they came from this morning. He's not about to complain.
At M'ahina's suggestion, he's quick to nod. ] I imagine we've both done our fair share of that over the years. I don't mind. [ He doesn't think to suggest that they do anything other than an equitable arrangement, well aware that she would accept no chivalry from him. He takes another look around the small space, allowing his feet to carry him to each corner — not that it takes long. ] It's cozy enough. I've certainly had worse.
