[ considering timelines, alfyn probably does not know who the hell the flameguard is. just what the flameguard is. especially from ophilia and being in flamesgrace - could they have met sooner, he wonders? hm. food for thought, later. ]

We're both fine. [ yes. he nods slightly, happy to let that moment pass and instead focus on the general conversation at hand here. not a familiar face, but at least rondo knows orsterra, and so he's not quite so alone, there, even if it's not quite the same as having one of the others with him. ]

The same goes for you! I'm handy in a battle, not to toot my own horn or nothin', though it seems an awful lot like there's a decent number of fighters here based off those papers that're up over here. [ a nod, to indicate the profiles. ] ... being an apothecary for all these folk would be a whole heck of a lot easier if they let me keep my stuff, though. Did you happen to hold onto your robe, by any chance..? I'm planning on tearing mine into strips, to make bandages out of.
