Llawr listened to Ren's excited report with a smile of relief.
"That's good, I'm glad you feel well. I'm sure the others will be fine too; they all seem really strong!"Of all the people in the group, Ren was of the few Llawr was already familiar with, so her well-being was a subject of interest for him at all times, just as it was with Diana. On that subject, he glanced over to where she was sitting to find that she was pleasantly speaking with another Apostle, so he figured she must be fine. His attention was brought back to the table at the squeaky sound of a small voice requesting to join them. Looking down, he saw the smallest of the Apostles had approached them.
"Oh, of course! Please, feel free to join us," the boy accepted her request of accompaniment cheerfully.
When Ren spoke of Althea helping others, and offered that Llawr assist, the boy's face lit up with excitement.
"Oh wow, you have abilities that can help people recover?! That's so amazing, I haven't seen anything like that beyond my own Blessing of Flora! I would love to help and see your ability in action!" When the little Magi immediately shot them down, Llawr looked a little surprised at the rejection before smiling in defeat with a shrug.
"Oh well, I guess if you're uncomfortable with it then that's fine." The Cait Sith turned back to his plate of food and began eating. As their smallest companion spoke of Ren's prowess in combat, Llawr would silently nod his head in agreement with a mouth full of food. When she directed her praise towards Llawr himself, however, he was caught by surprise and ended up spitting out the food in his mouth as if he had been unexpectedly smacked hard on the back.
The boy wasn't quite used to receiving praise in the first place, so for Althea to go so far as to call Llawr cool with a sense of awe to her expression made him somewhat embarrassed. With a pink face and nervous smile, he raised one hand to scratch the back of his head while he tried to refute her outstanding compliment;
"N-no, no way. I'm nothing special really; especially by Apostle standards! It's hardly worth such praise. By the way, we never properly introduced. My name's-" Before he could continue, Llawr sensed an intense presence approaching and froze as his gaze dashed towards the messenger that had just entered the tavern, no trace of his carefree expression left on his face. When the messenger spoke of a meeting with the town's mayor, however, the tension left his face and he gave a relieved sigh.
As Ren and Althea got up to follow the messenger, Llawr also felt the other Apostles within the tavern standing to do the same. Quickly making a somewhat rogue decision that was supported by Althea's presence to help Ren's clearly rattled state, Llawr spoke up to the two;
"You guys go on ahead. I think I actually want to explore the town a bit instead. We should talk more when the meeting's over!" The boy felt an aura of extreme tension surrounding the messenger, which he had no doubts that Ren had also picked up on at least subconsciously. Had Althea not been there he would naturally go with his friend to help her relax, but now he felt like his attendance might not be necessary, especially given the size of their group. With that, he wave a temporary farewell to his comrades before returning to his meal.
After finishing his food and returning his plate, Llawr left the tavern and began walking around the town. An important lesson he had learned early on in life is that when you take refuge in someone else's home it's only right that you become familiar with the locals to put their nerves to rest. With that in mind, he explored with the intent to both become familiar with the town's layout and also converse with the residents. He would cheerily greet the adults and introduce himself to them, and occasionally would play with some children. Before much time had passed, however, his senses picked up on the presence of active Chaos, albeit nonthreatening. Even so, it was a presence he wasn't directly familiar with, so he decided to check it out. His senses led him back to the tavern from earlier, where he saw a Dark Elf woman. Unsure of who she was at first, the sight of wisping shadows at her feet gave him a revelation to her possible identity.
In a mere moment, Llawr had silently approached the woman in a way that would be difficult to notice him, although unintentionally so. Once he was next to her, he finally spoke up with a bright smile to make his presence known to her;
"Hello! Pardon my intrusion, but do you happen to be the Apostle known as 'The Butterfly'?!"
