Ignis Caleum
Ignis sighed. Light this woman is stubborn.
Ignis couldn't believe it. Did this woman care nothing for her own safety. These bandits had been nothing, but there were those who would take advantage of a lone woman traveling. Some would even want more for money. Ignis thought about it. If she refused to travel with a group, he knew what he had to do. His honor required it.
"Then would you permit me to go with you, to keep you safe?' He had no idea where the woman would be going, this could be months. He wasn't sure he wanted to do it, but honor could be quite a burden sometimes.
"How do I know that you are sincere?"
The woman's words echoed in his ears. Perhaps she was smarter than he gave her credit for at this point. "Other than what you've seen here today, and my own oath that I will do what I can to protect you until you reach your destination, you don't," he said truthfully. There was no beating around the bush on it. It was the truth. "As for that oath, you have it - if you would permit me."
