Ruth eyed the offered hand briefly before taking it. Yet Zevran was proving to be almost equal, even with his witty tongue. His smirk curled, unable to help himself. “Don’t threaten me with a good time now.” He’d chuckle, eventually shifting his gaze to dust himself off, ensuring none of his belongings were damaged in the short drop.
Again, his motions would pause, drawing his head to study the other elf briefly. Ruth doubted the other would take offence at such scrutiny. The roads were treacherous and the motives of most were not always so chivalrous. “Sure.” he finally sighed. Shoulders shrugged heavily. “Why not? You let me down and didn’t slice my throat, so I suppose your company can’t be that bad.” Plus, he’d maybe actually get a good night's sleep with Boobytrap-Mageee.
“Given I’ve met them up close, I’m guessing your profession is rather messy at times.” Ruth smirked, not fazed in the slightest that his companion may have ended lives whereas he was in the business of saving and prolonging them. “Your type keeps my type in business, so… we’re colleagues in a way.”
