Talk and walk? His brow twitched up, almost taken aback, but he shrugged and nodded nonetheless before he rose and stretched his legs. It had been...some time, he admitted to himself, since he had actually entered Asteraia. He wondered if the strange quiet girl of Aster's had at least stayed behind though he dared not ask. It was probably a smart decision to not include anybody else in that particular mess, after all. Besides, Arturio today seemed much more captivating, particularly as he bared his teeth but for that fleeting moment. Ah, Elohim had certainly caught sight of that and he smirked to himself,
concealed as he turned away to feign interest in the line of trees to his side.
"I can't say I'm particularly privy into his exact methods but from what I could hear? Ah, it did not seem so peaceful - yet, he was quick. I had not even noticed he and his ilk had crossed out of Glorall." He wondered for a moment if he actually had any share of the blame - should he have tried to stop them? From what he understood, Eden had actually quite liked Pine and yet, who was Elohim to meddle in such affairs? What was worse - wearing the blame or wearing a target? "It's a brave act to declare your disdain so quickly. I admire your honesty." He grinned for he had already mentioned it once before, no? Honesty was...dangerous. Was it more dangerous than the boy-king?
He paused for a moment with a tilt to his head. Many had claimed Iromar had a particular draw for those of a deeper shade of morals. It seemed true - he wondered what darkness Pine must have been hiding. No matter. He shouldn't be the one to question the morals of others, after all.
"I'll be frank." He continued to move along Arturio then with a small jump in his step. "Do you have an informant in Iromar yet?" There was the slightest hint of a grin on his lips though it seemed like a ghost - but his eyes, ah, they spoke of his curiosity and challenge. He had an idea but first, he wanted insurance because, frankly, he doubted things would ever go as planned.
