He had just drank the potion and tossed the empty bottle away when he was suddenly in a hug. With Reno.

Okay, so he had been through weirder, but...this was just odd to him. Awkwardly, he patted Reno's shoulder and pulled away to look at this tree they kept going on about. So it was a special tree that was more than likely well protected.

Awesome.

He turned to Cissnei, trusting her opinion more than Reno's. "So I'm here for the muscle. We got a plan?" He doubted it, but even a semblance of an idea of some sort of general strategy would be preferred to running in like barbarians.
