The brief exchange and draw of blood was exactly what he had needed to vent the sudden hostile takeover of whatever had come over him. What he hadn’t expected to find on the battlefield was a relative of his friend. Of course, Aresenn had no concept of how big the Saxe family was. How many branches, and how many offshoots. However, when she had introduced herself, he knew immediately he had to at least show her to Sephiran- even if she didn’t stick around- even if he allowed her to leave.
As they descended into the valley of the Polar Sound, Aresenn called out to the leader of the rag-tag group of individuals they were putting together. Maybe Elysia could make another worthy addition. Who was to say?
He had no idea of knowing how far away Seph was, so his attention returned to the girl in that moment. He was never one good for small talk- he didn’t really know what to say, and it left him a bit on edge. However, in taking time to look her over more closely, he didn’t see anything that screamed to him that she was closely related to his accomplice. Maybe this was a mistake. He wasn’t sure he wanted to take responsibility for this one like he had with Absinth. “He should be around any minute.” He muttered, in an attempt to fill the silence that had formed between them.
