Haldor stood on his feet, resting awhile against the hewn cliff. Arthur approached him, and to his surprise, handed him the orb of Zoot. As the others looked around the scene, the Nord steadied himself to move forward. As he moved, the Shaman instinctively began to place Zoot's Plaything into the darker reaches of his bag, but he was rocked by an unmistakeable jolt of pain through his arm as he did so. The dark God still didn't agree with him. "Good work there, you lot, made short work of that thing. Thanks for having my back out, couldn't ask for better comrades." Haldor felt another jolt, and he nearly stumbled, this time from his side, where his satchel hung. "Now are we ready to move out? Good. Tesni, you take point, Cronk, you have the rear. Everybody keep an eye out, who knows what built, and now probably lives in, this little cave."

Not ten minutes ago, when we were locked in a dangerous fight, you felt compelled to pick apart my entire life, all of which you have only ever read about in books, and tell me how I am incapable of leading this band? Unprovoked, I'll add. And now, you want to mosey on down the road, as if it never happened, and you expect me to treat you like an ally? That would be all well and lovely, if it were just us two here, and we were just on a jolly stroll in the woods, but unfortunately, we're not. There are more important things going on here than you or me, so I don't want to hear any more of it, you understand? If you have a problem with me, you come over here and speak your mind. What you don't do, is raise a holler and shout all your bloody lungs out over the place, it doesn't help anyone, certainly not you. The last thing we need is the whole lot of us on-edge because you've singularly showed that we shoulda' never left the hall. Are we clear on this? No funny buisness, no pointless ranting, and no bringing up my whole damn past to prove a point, alright?
