"Valder, you don't have to explain who you are right now. We all have are own personal origin stories, ranging from god awful to blessedly fantastic. We'll discuss those details later in a more comfortable setting." By the sudden anger look his was getting from Nathan, this was not the type of interruption he was expecting. Its especially not the type he like! "Just as its his job to serve my needs, so too must I protect his interests. I didn't go digging into Vincent's or your background when I first met you, so I'd like to afford the same grace to Valder," Ventus says to Nathan, smile not once breaking as he was describing his view on the matter. If his comrade disagreed... well, he could just counter that the mercenary was not beholden to him. They were, however, beholden to the researcher.

"I am interested on how you gained such knowledge over these... scimitars was it? From my experience, mage guilds are quite secretive, and don't interact with outsider much besides bar minimum. Can you please elaborate how you came to possess such information pertaining to them?" the researcher said, gently prompting the mercenary to continue his story. If Nathan was content to play 'bad' cop, he could just be the good cop by default. 'I don't know how these interegations typically play out, but clichés are usually that way for a reason. The conversation is going well so far, so let us continue to her this man out.'

Thinking for a moment, Ventus decided to give a bit of information to Valder about their encounter. Its not like he's ignorant of them, so he assumes he is safe in sharing those details. "To answer you question, while traveling through that blasted swamp, I did overhear more than one mage, but only one came out to confront us. The other seemed sick of the territory they were in as I was, so I heard them leave to...somewhere. Seems like some of these scimitars don't work together so well, hmm."
