((For the moment, I'm only going to RP Noah until I can think of an excuse for Carina to excuse herself. For the moment, I suppose it's safe to assume she's slightly puzzled about Noah's appearance, and she's listening to him and Raven converse.))
Raven's sarcasm towards Noah was rather amusing, and the mercenary thief folded his arms loosely across the broad planes of his chest with a smirk. "I would stand back and look pretty, but I'm afraid I would only further distract you from your conversation with your companions." He spared a glance at the royal-blooded female, and the young man he recognised from the inn, the one with the glowing red marks etched into his skin. "I'm here for business, not pleasure. Though I'm sure we could have both, dear Raven." Noah strode forward from his spot at the fringes of the clearing, bringing himself into the group. Their matters would have to wait for the moment, his were more important. And judging from what he could hear of the conversation, all they were doing was trying to negotiate with the mercenary in their company, surely that could be swept aside for the moment.
"I didn't anticipate on running into you, quite honestly. But it's convenient that I have. I have a proposition for you, one that comes with reward for both you and I. Better still, the reward will be of your choosing, so long as it is within reason. How does that strike you so far?" One way or another, Noah was confident in his abilities to get Raven on his side for this task. He hated to admit it, but he needed her.
((Short, but will most likely lengthen once I get back into the rhythm.))
