Sounds of Chair scooting up

Staring at the bounties the previous day had been both familiar and bizarre. Bizarre because he had no idea what he was looking at- The creatures and descriptions in front of him mostly foreign, even compared to the ones he'd already met. With no knowledge or mental database of experience for him to piece together... anything. He was completely green. Familiar because it certainly wasn't the first time he'd looked down a bounty board. It made him idly wonder about his own bounty back on Terra... But musing on those things was pointless. This wasn't a dream, unfortunately, so he had to make due, and first priority was holding his own again.

This was a good enough activity as any to start with. The team requirement had him rolling his eyes. Not so much for his own sake- as grating as it was to admit, he was in no shape to hold his own. Having others to supplement his gaps in knowledge would be smart. That's when he happened to run into Bigby. Having perused the available quests for their level he briefed the smaller musbeast on what he'd found- and they'd made a choice.

Bigby was tolerable. Which was plenty to Flamebringer's standards. He reminded him somewhat of Hoederer, if Hoederer was shrunk into a tiny musbeast body. Between them a sentence could have all of four words, but he liked it that way. No superficial musings and time wasted on superficial idlings.

Whether or not Bigby was trustworthy in combat was another thing, but he was no stranger with working beside backstabbers and cowards. It'd be like home.

The thought gets a sardonic huff out of him.

As they approach the bounty board the next day, he hears Bigby call out to someone else and he turns- a doctor? That would be a smart call- And his expression immediately flattens.

Why oh why did the little musbeast have to grab his attention of all people. He'd been hoping that their third member would be someone else he could tolerate- he was surprised already how many individuals didn't piss him off, even if he found several of them lacking in their own ways. But this one in particular... His lack of enthusiasm is evident in his voice when he answers Bigby's question, "He's a nosy fool."
