Nodding in agreement with both Drogo and Andreas' words, Ayden begins taking off his pack.
"If none object, I will approach them, as of all of you, I know I must seem the most harmless. However, until we know to whom their loyalties belong, I would recommend that we try to keep Moss as hidden as possible from their sight."
Reaching into his pack, Ayden pulled his spare shirt out and tied it to the end of his staff.
"Hopefully we will have better luck with our banner than the Broken Axe clan did with theirs."
Moving quickly before the others could talk him out of his plan, Ayden looked back only once to see if any followed him.
At about the 50' mark, Ayden called out to the dwarf and his men waving his "flag" as he did.
"Hello...hello...is there any I could speak to about water and directions?"
While his words were calm and cheerful, Ayden could feel his stomach threatening to revolt at any moment.
