[ the return of the other man's name is not as serious sounding, certainly far from mad himself, but it is most definitely assured. firm, unmoving from what it is he more or less promises to the Seer. there is no reason for him to lie. if an opportunity does crop up, of course he'll take it and escape.
..the problem is if he's willing to leave behind any of these folks. some of them may have their own share of attitude, and a few have certainly put up a fight, but so did Naib at the beginning before he was kicked down. he still has a few bruises and scraps to show that. however, he doesn't take his friend lightly, not when he continues to speak. ]
..I guess you have a point.
[ it's something he can't exactly argue about. there's a conflict of interest there, isn't it? one person an honored guest, the other a deemed wretched failure.. would an honored guest's words be enough for them to listen? he lowers his gaze with a thought until he hears those last set of words. earning a gawk while he blinks rapidly because there is no way that Eli is serious? why would he want to be stuck up in here? especially with the comforts and warmth from above?
..no. he knows why. Eli, for as mysterious and almost out of reach with his abilities as he is, is still quite the kindest and most humble of mans he's come to meet. just as Naib would refuse to sit idly by if a friend was locked up, he shouldn't be surprise that Eli would be the same. he has every right to be upset. Naib emits a breath and shakes his head with a twitch of his lips. ] If it comes to that, you can just take my bed. A fair warning the lumpy straw mattress isn't like sleeping on a cloud.
[ even if Eli's frustration and moment of upset isn't directed at him, the guards seem to think so and are more pleased by that than their chatting. so at least that's working for them. ]
Still, try not to worry too much about me, with what we've gone through back at the manor? This is nothing. [ not to mention his experiences with war but.. he doesn't need those memories trudging up any more than it has. ] Breathe, Eli.
