Furthermore, his character was such that it was hard for him to sit back and watch others take risks he was not taking himself. For example, when [[Demane]] first approached the party that had come out into the jungle to trade for the mushrooms that cured the [[Dragon Plague]], Laurence immediately stepped forward himself to attempt to communicate with the young hunter, asking only Reverened [[Josiah Erasmus]] to accompany him.
