Hunter's laughing ceased, and he became somber and unreadable, "No I do not know where they took her, but it is not a worry, I can track her well enough... And as for why they need her?" He turned his gaze to the man who bore the royal crest, his gaze unwavering and cold, "That is not something to be discussed here, once we are on the road perhaps. But for reasons that I also can not tell you at the present time... We may not discuss this among others." He turned his gaze to the mage for a moment, head cocked as he studied him, They're close. that much is clear, I can not exclude him from this... but... Beneath his blank face Hunter was turning plans over and over in his head, he did not know if this man really was the prince, or royalty for that matter, the whole thing could be a fluke. I'll question him once we leave this blasted town. For his sake among others, I hope he is the prince... I don't want to have to kill him.

He smiled briefly, hoping to clear a bit of the tension in the air, then the mages spoke up, "I'm sorry, but it would be better if you didn't try to help in this..."
Granted, the mages could be a big help in some situations, but it would be better to have a small group, especially if they were to save the girl without a big fuss. "This is a job for a smaller group, we can not win this battle by force... deceit is the name of this game, and I plan to follow the rules..." He paused for a moment then looked around at the entire room, "Now if their is nothing else that needs to be attended to, I suggest that we depart."

Without waiting he bowed and spun on his heel, striding to the door and pulling it open. Before he exited however, something dawned on him and he mentally slapped himself, "My apologies for not doing this sooner, I believe some introductions are in order, though we must not dally. My name is Hunter, A pleasure to meet you all." He turned his gaze to his new companions, "Meet me on the edge of town in half an hour. There is no time to waste."
