Vanelee couldn't help but join in with Dreggan's groans, for he too also thought Matt's actions were a great disadvantage. No matter how good-intentioned his actions were, Matt may have sacrificed the groups only opportunity to ascend the mountain without falling under the Dukes watchful eye again.
'O well!' the elf thought as he ran to catch up with the other, who were travelling with an unusal spring int heir step. 'Now the Duke KNOWS we're comng, and can prepare himself. Might make things a little more interesting.' Then an almost malevolent smile shone over the elfs face, but was quickly dismised as he reached the others.
Rejoining the group, the elf smiled politely and couldn't help brush his own body against the mages as they worked their way up the steep slope.
