How well-mannered. He bowed his head--though the slouch he'd settled into made it less dramatic than hers.
"I'm afraid I'm unfamiliar with warframes as well." Perhaps it was that armor she'd mentioned before, but he couldn't be sure. The term brought to mind something like those ghastly puppets the Carians were so fond of.
"But if it's value is so great, then Godrick's soldiers might seek to present it to their lord. And you, I fear, are not strong enough to challenge a demigod. Even one so debased as he." That was more truth than he'd told most in quite a long time. Godrick was the weakest of the Shardbearers, and all knew it. But so very many overestimated their chances, and he was largely content to leave them deluded.
"The merchant may know more. But I have my own sources as well. Perhaps I'll quit my vigil here, for a while. If you set off while I'm gone, do tell the merchant that we're acquainted? If I find anything of note, I'll follow." He was still uncertain of whether this was worth his time. But when had a Tarnished last shown any promise at all? This strange Ayatan was something different, in a land crumbling without renewal. That in itself was special.
