Feldar walked up behind Ulysses before he had the time to leave. He placed his hand on his shoulder before he turned around. "Enjoying the observation? It seems your carefully observing these individuals. Care to explain why that may be?" Feldar had managed to entirely sneak up on Ulysses and take him by surprise. "Perhaps I may be able to lend my assistance to you." Feldar grinned as he stood behind Ulysses and looked over at the individuals. "I've already fought these people once. If need be I could do it again"
Ulysses was unaware of the man's presence until the slightest pressure placed upon his shoulder was responded to with an immediate smack, and his gaze slowly shifted onto Feldar. Under his mask he would appear agitated after having been interrupted from his examination, and the man's curiosity made Ulysses more so. He took a moment to take in the man's appearance, trying to make out who and what was his occupation looked to be while he spoke. In hearing his almost absurd offer ,in the ears of the mercenary, he lowered his hand back to his side and returned his eyes to the few in the arena.

Apparently this man had fought them once for what reason Ulysses did not know, but by his tone it almost sounded as if he had succeeded against them. The mercenary was no prideful person, however he was not fond of having to work with someone because if they went wrong it would all come back to him, but with another glance towards Feldar he didn't look to be one to fail. Maybe his assistance would be needed as long as there's no strings attached. Still, Ulysses threw back some questions he had before he'd jump into the scenario. "I need to get rid of someone," he stated flatly before asking, "What do you have against them?"
"I have nothing against these individuals. It's just my line of work. What I do best, What I am made for." He looked out into the arena to see the sparing taking place. "The attack on defiance squad earlier this year, The one that put the arena out of commission I'm sure you had heard of it. That was part of my doing, My work. I must say I didn't mean to attack them. But, anyone who was near by at that time would of fell victim to the unfortunate event." He looked at his mask and the way he scanned the environment.

"You must be a… Mercenary of some kind, Your reflexes are phenomenal and your observation skills seem to be peaked high as well. You interest me, Perhaps I'm willing to offer this assistance with no strings attached after all. Keep your eyes peeled, We aren't the only ones here… who hide secrets within these walls. Be careful mercenary, You'll be sure to find me if you choose to need my assistance. It won't be hard, I can ensure you will use this information wisely. Don't forget it Mercenary, You may require this in the future. Choose who you will trust wisely." Feldar turned around and walked away from the scene leaving no trace. He didn't seem to care about anything going on, Only about what he had to say and what he saw. Whether he was to be trusted or not was a risky situation. It all would come down to be a gamble with no sure evidence to back up his statements.
Ulysses was cynical towards Feldar's reasoning, however it was wise to look at it in another perspective rather than his own. What would be the sense of observing if it wasn't observed from all angles? Like those at the AI, Feldar was only acting out of initiative and what he was made to do. It wouldn't be long until Iveth fell into those steps as well judging from what he read on her status recently, but even so, the mage would be present the entire time. Ulysses had little experience holding up against 'magic' although he was more than capable of facing it. There were still things he kept to himself in order not to be sought out just yet.

He said nothing as he watched the man ago, instead giving a final glance towards the small platoon before taking his leave as was left to let the offer sit and simmer. He would only have to trust this man for one thing and one thing only. Nothing had to be shared about the AI nor anything of his background. There was still more he wanted to veer about before he fully agreed to take Feldar's assistance, and maybe when all of his work is done, he could return home.
