Nerevar shifts his stance to face the enemy directly. As he is indeed an enemy, until he shows otherwise.
"Oh? And who have I found, pray tell?"
He looks the man over. Clearly, he's found someone who knows how to handle a quarterstaff. He can't rule out the possibility that the weapon is enchanted, either. He's tall - at the very least not much shorter than Nerevar himself. Best not to attack him until he knows he must. His clothes belong to no army or service that he can recognize. He doesn't know who or what this man is. But he can venture a guess or two.
"A mercenary? A spellblade? Whatever Dren's paying you, I can pay more."
