[He responds coolly, pithy as it is. He begins to descend the stairs, and decides to add nothing more. Barnabas is full willing to concede that he does not know what to expect, even if he has an idea of what things should be like in his mind. Though, this place has proven itself more strange than ordinary, and that is a consideration coloring his expectations.
Not to mention, what possible outcomes may yet happen.
If they are without a blacksmith, then the town itself would not likely have reliable weapons, nor armor. The inhabitants would have them outnumbered, but not necessarily be reliably armed.

If they are more like Barnabas, that is likely to be troublesome. Especially for Ademnet.
What are the odds at play for such a determination, he cannot help but wonder...
On the outside, while Barnabas is contemplating the possibility of hostilities and their chances of dealing with it should any of this take a turn for the worst, he's quiet and unemotive as usual. His expression neutral, and his gaze singularly focused before him, while his body moves in a purposeful march.]
