The caravan was to set out at daybreak. Ozer Magnus stood in waiting along with all the cargo over night, just as a courtesy to ensure no thieves got their hands on the goods before the job had even started. Remaining out of the way and part of the background until everything was loaded up, the Golem gripped the job flier in their hand and fell into formation with the caravan as its wheels lazily groaned to life when pulled on by the proverbial work horses (though not necessarily horses?) that were strapped in at the front. 

This whole thing still seemed like a risky business venture but Ozer didn't have the finance books in front of them to figure it out. Most likely they were cutting costs by hiring D-ranked mages for protection, to maximize their profits at the next town. Still, spending too little on security could cause them far greater loss.... Ozer felt as though they would make a better financier than a combative mage for them, but it would not align with their prerogative. The best option now is to find the other mage and assess their abilities, as to fully prepare any mounted response they'd need for fighting off bandits. 

"[~Customary greeting here]. I am the entity designated Ozer Magnus, the second affiliated D-ranked mage hired for this job. It is imperative we collaborate on how best to defend this caravan from assault. Submit to inquiry of name and rank and describe your thaumaturgic capabilities in detail as well as any other tactical equipment you are carrying for best consideration of a successful outcome." The golem 'warmly' introduced themselves to their temporary partner on the job, as well as 'courteously' asking them what they were good at. In all their monotone and monosyllabic glory Ozer engaged in this thing they had been described to as 'making friends', something he was still in the early works of optimizing, if that wasn't obvious.
