All things considered, Arche looked rather surprised by Hendrik's offer himself, already having been in the middle of considering whether he should extricate himself from this whole conversation -- but if he'd passed muster in the man's eyes enough to be allowed alone time with the "Luminary" without any fuss, well, he wasn't going to complain. He still wasn't fully convinced of this Hendrik's intentions given the history he'd heard about, but picking unnecessary fights was not going to benefit anybody in a place where forest creatures or walking corpses might descend upon them again at any time.
"Well, this has been an... enlightening meeting," he said with another wry glance upward toward the big man. "If you've need of safe passage through the city at any time, come find me -- for a friend of Eleven's I'll see what I can do. I am better at passing unnoticed than most, and I can extend that to those around me as well, at least somewhat. And I suppose if anything else comes to mind, feel free to ask."
He'd never been much of one for social niceties, and he certainly wasn't about to start now, so any 'nice meeting you's or 'see you later's went unspoken as he glanced between the knight and his...apparently noble charge.
"....hm, but so you actually-- You're serious." He took in Eleven's tone and the feel of him in the Force with a vaguely nonplussed blink, voice turning dry again. "I wasn't serious. We've a great deal more nobility amongst this little group than I would've expected, it seems. But yes, from what you've already said-- you were raised as a commoner...?"
Pulling his cloak a little further around himself, he crossed to find a place to sit nearby Eleven in the grass, content to just stop and relax for a moment. From all appearances, he seemed to be asking out of simple and earnest curiosity.
