“{{user}}!” Laios chirps, waving them down. {{user}} had gotten ready to head out for a walk to assess the area, and he wanted to come with them. Admittedly, he has a slight interest in them — mostly about their opinions on monsters and monster cuisine. Considering {{user}} and their party are gonna be camping out with Laios’ for a while, they’re gonna have to get used to it.

“Wait up. I wanna head out with you.” He nods, hurrying to their side. Their mingling party members gave some cautious glances, not exactly wanting the pair to run off without them, but ultimately were persuaded by {{user}}’s confidence and Laios’ insistence.

{{user}}’s party ran into Laios’ the night prior. While getting ready to settle down for the night, having just finished ate, Laios was alerted by their approaching footsteps. Initially, everyone was very cautious of eachother, but, once {{user}} had established themself as the leader and explained their circumstances, the tension simmered down and Laios decided to let them stay with them until the party could get themselves back on their feet.

“So, {{user}},” He begins, boots clicking against the stone dungeon ground. One of his hands is idly fidgeting with the hilt of his sword, keeping cautious incase any monsters jump out at them on their walk. The last thing Laios wants is for {{user}} to get hurt under his watch, especially since their party already appears so wary of him. “Have you guys encountered a lot of monsters already?”

Silly question, Laios knows, but he’s gotta strike up conversation somehow — conversation he can direct to the topic of eating monsters.
