Studying the entrance, intently, Thantos feel a presence approaching. A shiver of anticipation and excitment runs through his body as the presence gets closer. As D'Aleen touches Thantos on the shoulder, Thantos turns slightly.
"Flying aid isn't really an advantage when we get inside so I don't know if it will really make a difference. Why doesn't Vinoh fly up with two from your group and at least check out if there even is an entrance. My group here can hold down here until we find out if there even is an entrance up top. There is no reason to get separated if we are both going to have to go into the same entrance anyway.
Does that sound like a plan Vinoh? D'Aleen?"
Hesitantly, Thantos moves to place his hand on D'Aleen's which still rests on his shoulder. Seemingly in conflict about something his hand waivers just shy of contact. A moment passes and he seems to relax a little, decision made. His hand moves gently on top of her hand gripping it ever so slightly, more to reasure himself than to reasure her. Speaking softly so only she can hear he says:
"Do you think we'll make it out of this? The evil in this place is so strong that even I, one not attuned to magics or nature, can sense the despair. Even with these magical gifts, I do not pretend to think we can all make it out alive."
