Caedes listened intently to Aresenn's response, his expression impassive as he absorbed the brute's words. He offered a nod in acknowledgment once, twice as the brute explained his stance. “A commendable philosophy,” The scarred Saxe remarked, his tone neutral yet somewhat approving.

Aresenn's inquiry prompted a moment of reflection from Caedes, his mind briefly contemplating his own place within the pack.

My personal focus lies in excelling at the role I have chosen. Healing.”

With that, Caedes fell silent, allowing the conversation to linger in the air, open to further discussion or departure.
