Rondo quietly thanks Patrick for the drink, and says he is planning on hanging back a bit at first, so as to discreetly observe if anyone seems like they are following the group from the town. He'll flank the group when they leave, and watch over them as they make their way to whatever transportation mode they decide to use to make the crossing. He'll watch them until he's satisfied no one is following, then join them for the crossing. He asks that Patrick hold the boat until he joins up, then he takes his mead to a table in a dark, secluded corner of the bar to drink, and keep watch.
