5 People stood in front of Caleb not noticing his presence he observed them with a curious glint in his eyes.
One who stood the most prominent in this group, shining in the light some righteous knight, golden hair went to the nape almost looking effeminate from the side, He or she holding a helm in his left hand which was covered by a kite shield, A sword ornate sword was attached to the back.
Looking at the second most glaring figures was a tall individual ,it was a woman with pallid skin and long black hair who as if knowing Caleb's was looking at her met his gaze with disdainful eyes who disregarded Caleb's existence as if he was some vagrant after the quick glance, she looked cold-hearted and her posture was indifferent ,she was also impatient her foot kept hitting the floor making a methodical tune .

A More diminutive figure caught Caleb's eyes who cowered behind the tall women staring at Caleb, She was young, a girl with white robes and with similar golden hair to the leader. She held a staff topped with a crystal of white ,If Caleb saw her without this party of misfits he would think she was a priest.
The other more diminutive figure much smaller was covered by a green robe standing absolutely still leaving not a single vibration in his or her stature.
Looking up from them two of them a massive women stood behind standing like a chizled statue with blazing red hair stood , muscles bare and pulsating with strength exuding. Looking towards the face of the giant his eyes met and Caleb stepped back a bit and looked away, Caleb was cowed and felt a bit akward not being able to keep eye contact.
The leader looked toward the old lady and approached her ignoring Calebs presence
”Im sorry to intrude but i was told you were giving lodging to someone who came from the forest who might that be ”
The old lady gave a knowing glance to Caleb who retuned a eyeroll and nod
”The young lad to your left”
All 5 of them looked towards Caleb, all they saw was a dishevelled hair and a generally homeless appearance.
As they looked at Caleb he gave a curt nod of acknowledgement.
The blond one approached Caleb and reached out a hand and Caleb joined in a kind
”Greetings, i am Marcus, You? ”
Caleb nodded with a slow repone
”Not much of talker, Anyway we need a guide and were willing to pay ,no one here in the village wants to enter it , the 2 guards at the gate told us about you”
Caleb sighed heavily and facepalmed
”Im sorry did offend you ”
Caleb shook his head and giving a smirk.
'Those 2 are going to be the death of me'
”Well anyway onto business, we need to find Direwolves, we will give appropriate payment ”
The man looked Caleb with eyes which communicated more than words, a look of are you sure
Caleb chuckled knowing he looked like someone who would be more dead weight than help and nodded with a confidence and a smirk.
”So you accept ”
Caleb really was getting irked by this not being able to communicate and nodded.
”The payment will be in 10 silver advance and 10 on completion, sound good ”
Caleb had no use for money also have no idea how the currency worked in this world he and put a finger up and pointed after catching the mans attention towards a dagger within its sheath.
”You want this ”
Caleb nodded again
”Oh , ok then ” the man took the dagger gave it and its sheave to Caleb, Caleb span around the blade in the air
”Be careful with that ”
This brung a smirk to Caleb's mouth and he tossed it in the air and deftly caught it with a flourish and kept it slightly hanging out of the sheath within moments giving a surprise to the group, Caleb thought about how this suited him with all the sneaking and on this line of thought, he remembered something, where the fuck has the horn gone too.
”Well then the payment taken over let me introduce our merry little band ”
”i am Marcus, The tall redhead is Rea, The small tricky one is john
