Ah. Home. It was always with mixed feelings that Aurin beheld the impressive ediface that was Circle Tower. He held no other memories of home, but it wasn't always the most pleasent of times that he had there. He had hung back as the others had begun to go towards the docks or the Inn, conflicted as he always had been about going one way or the other. He stood and watched from the shade of a tree the splitting up, and his eyes were drawn to the Inn. He had spent much pleasent time there, but now duty once again took him away from the comfortable companionship that was there. Blue eyes turned back towards the massive building across the lake and finally he stepped from his place and his quiet footfalls took him towards the docks.
He had been quiet for much of the trip here. Even the sudden violence of the darkspawn attack had done little to bring him out of his thoughtful and contemplative demeaner. He had been withdrawn and thoughtful, though still smiling and cheerful when confronted about it. It had been obvious something was nagging at his mind. The time was past for his nagging concerns though, and now the Templar moved smoothly and with a purpose.
He could move quietly for someone who wore so much in the way of armor. His steps carried him towards the dock where a small knot of people waited. The Noble, The Mage, The Skald. For a moment he regretted not properly getting to know many of them before now, but now was not the time for regrets. His helmet was left off as usual, and he drew in a deep lungful of the air off the lake. It brought a smile to his face and memories to his mind. That smile remained there as he came to a stop near the docks and glanced towards Ashya as she waved out over the water...
...wait. What was she waving at?
His attention turned towards that oncoming boat and the pair of rather familiar faces. His smile widened as he raised one gauntlet covered hand to wave towards them as well. Loic and Lee, it had been quite some time since he had seen either of them. The smile remained on his face as he joined the small group and tilted his head in a friendly enough nod towards both Hilda and Coan.
