They were bringing too much again, but that was fine. He'd lash whatever he could use to a horse and head off before they had the sense of mind to decide they didn't want him to head off, which was always a risk. He got kidnapped at least a few times a year, normally in the winter when he got too desperate and forgot his "no robbing bandits" rule.
He barely glanced at the newcomer, other than to note that he looked strong and therefore might be an issue. Bullies and the like had very uncomfortable ways of dealing with adoration. But in a group this large, no one could actually manage to hurt him. Others would stop him.
The question was weird, though. He occassionally did get questions, but mostly they were just excuses to talk to him. Pleas for attentions. He didn't need to be nice; attention was a prize in its own right, really. "The brief, transient pleasure of my company," he replied, straight-faced. "Also, I need them," he pointed out, which should be enough for anyone. He squatted down next to a box and ran his fingers over some of the furs, frowning with consideration, trying to judge by warmth rather than plushness or color. He wasn't as good at eyeballing these things as he'd like to be. "And a horse, I think. A weak one you won't miss. Otherwise I'm never going to get this shit over the mountains."
