Well... truthfully... I could use the aid. [ He gives a bashful smile and glances away. ] Just until we transport to the bottom of the Tower. The short walk from the aether shard to the tavern should not be too difficult.

[ The Exarch pauses at her statement. His hand is reached out towards her. ] Might I... may I ask why not?

[ The door opening to the quarters to the side of the Ocular turns his attention. There stands Lyna, oh, ever vigilant Lyna. Her eyes widen at the sight of the two and dashes over. The Exarch forces a smile for her and attempts to ease her concerns. The captain, however, is quite obviously not buying his story. She gives a frustrated sigh. ]

He is ever the handful, is he not? [ Lyna sighs and looks to K'thisru with a worried smile. ] Stay here and I will fetch dinner. Someone needs to look over our lord to make sure he does not overextended himself further.

I am fine, I assure you!

[ The Exarch stands to his full height even as hid leg quakes under the weight. Clearly his last show of strength does not impress his adopted daughter. She turns and leaves the room, the closing of the doors echoing in the Ocular.

He sighs, looking back down to the Warrior of Darkness at his side. ] It would seem we have even more time to converse now.
