"What the shadows take, they keep." Who knows how many teeth are in the smile behind that mask?

Felix inclines his head at the look he's given, lifting his eyes to peer at Naugus' expression. "And I thank you for accompanying me. I've already learned much more than I expected." He sweeps a hand around at the darkened wood, as if that's all he's been focused on. "I'm truly pleased that our endeavor should prove as valuable to you."

This could be a fine foundation to a working relationship with Naugus; Felix hopes by the end of this quest he'll have thoroughly proven his worth and ensured himself a powerful and willing accomplice for next time.
