[He took longer putting on his armor once more, mostly because he didn't feel any urgency to do so. The marks on his back weighted more than before but he had to push them to the side if he wanted to be productive in any way and... ha had enough time to panic. Somehow something in this whole process made him feel a bit calmer, even if it made no goddamn sense, and he had the confirmation that talking to Raphael had been the right thing to do, no matter how upsetting the entire thing had been.
He listened, nodded and finished to put everything back in place, his eyes wandering toward the darkness outside once more. What was he even supposed to do? He definitely got the cleric by his side, this was good and the plan all along, but he still felt... lost? He had other things to say, other questions, but his senses alerted him that at least one person was now watching the scene, so he had to compose himself. Was it Karlach who questioned where they went? Was is another member of their group? He didn't even care, he still needed time alone. Or with her, for reasons he didn't understand, but he knew she had others who needed her.]
I'll stick around and alert you if he shows up. For now all I can do is wait. [A deep, deep breath. There was no fresh blood at all in his body to even give the illusion of oxygenation and bring some color to his skin, but he still needed it. The man pushed himself back on his feet, turning toward her and owning his mask once more. A smile, a pose slightly to the side, his tone of voice going back to the sarcastic and amused self he always was...] Love, I think they're waiting for you. Must be our barbarian. I think I felt that blacksmith's smell when I arrived here. Donnel, Dinnel, Dinner... you know, I think the lovely duo is waiting to hear where we put the infernal iron.
I will be fine. I'm just finishing to play my lute and nothing. Is. wrong. Now go. I take the blood offer very thankfully but I'm not hungry and I'm sure I spotted spme juicy goblins not too far from the entrance. Also got to smell a drow. And spiders. Kind of weird if you ask me. I'll go hunting as soon as I am done looking cool by the water.
[Maybe he was wrong, maybe he was paranoid, but if anyone was actually there they had to hear his voice for that part. What followed, on the other hand, was barely a whisper.]

For what it's worth.. thank you.
